Maybe it's because some folks tend to treat Barry as a somewhat feeble-minded, barely educated, almost completely inexperienced rube, and that makes them go easy on him.

But just because someone is feeble-minded, barely educated, and almost completely inexperienced provincial doesn't mean that he also cannot be arrogant, reeking with ill-will, eager to impose his views on everyone else, and to do it all with complete confidence that he, of course, must be right because his opponents say he is wrong.

There's a good reason why we don't allow young adolescents behind the wheel. It's vastly more dangerous, as we have already seen, to put their ideological equivalent into the office of the presidency.
