scratch the first “has”
{a tiny blemish on an otherwise flawless, rhetorical question}
“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.
Either these guys are serioius neurotics, a distinct possibility, or they are independent nuts or paid operatives politically dedicated to tormenting and destroying-from-within something they think is an enemy. Either way, the best thing to do is to pass their posts. Although sometimes they are fun to pick on!
