“What sort of neurotic insecurity impels one to obsess about the effectiveness of a campaign in which one has plays no part, in a state where one does not live, on behalf of a candidate whom one has never met?”

The same kind that makes one obsess over the offensive scheme and quarterback selection of a pro football team that they’ve never played for or been employed by that plays in a city where they don’t live and is made up of players and coaches they’ve never met.

And the preposterous underlying assumption is that whatever “they” do is not only wrong, but terminally and intentionally so and, furthermore, if “they” would simply come to their senses and do everything the nincompoop, armchair general dictates then immediate and immutable success would be assured.

Breathtaking arrogance and self-delusion.
