I think you nailed it. He’s almost certainly self-medicating way up the scale from mere booze. He has an addictive-dysfunctional personality and makes no attempt to (1) hide his past drug use, or (2) indicate he ever stopped, not to mention *how* he stopped.
Also, it could be a play for sympathy. The Obama camp is desperate, and they must remember how the sympathy factor worked in Hillary’s favor. It’s possible they think this will stem the poll bleeding.
If I had to guess, it’s both. His self-medicating is ratcheting up, plus they’re trying to cast him as a sympathetic figure, and blunt some of the harsher criticism.
Not gonna work.
Where’s the photo of STOS Deputy Fuhrer Melekan?
We’re beginning to hit that point on the steep downward slide that people will tend to care much more about themselves and their families than they will about Obama...
Sympathy? We ran out of that for the types represented by the Obamas and their elite ilk...
The sympathy vote would come from people who would vote for him anyway. Well, maybe a few will stir from their hangovers long enough to drag their sorry butts down to the polls to vote .....
