I'm betting Clark is the amateur. He's evidently made no attempt to understand the laws governing campaigns. Nor even how to conduct himself. Even more strangely, he doesn't seem to be working at improving his act. I'll betcha he blames his staff people for every mistake he's been caught at.
But, at the same time, he won't listen to them.
This guy is a GENERAL(!)...and he's got a real superiority complex. I can't imagine what it must've been like to serve under him.
