I think your pretty correct. he is tipping over. Going further left trying to get back the popularity he once enjoyed so much. As his poll numbers sink .. and he must know he is in the toilet now, he makes worse and worse decisions and moves.
It will come to that type of relationship where one person so once loved, then hated, tries to force that love back from the other person.
He is a time bomb IMHO. And I am no professional psychiatrist / psychologist / psychoanalyst .. I just think he is in need of a lot of couch time.
Excellent analysis—especially the “time bomb” part. You’ve noticed, I’m sure, that the lower his poll numbers go, the more frenetically he jets around on AF1, attends fundraisers (where his ego is stroked by definition), takes ever more frequent vacations, hosts increasing numbers of star studded (Obama-adoring) parties and plays golf in five hour increments with near total disregard for the weather and complete disregard for the state of the country and the appearance all this gives. He is definitely deteriorating.
I think he’s mixing some type of drug with his boozing. (He’s as addictive/dysfunctional a personality as I’ve ever seen, and this too is intensifying.) All these issues/problems can only worsen as Nov. approaches, and if it’s the bloodbath many of us anticipate, look for some kind of Obama crisis. I don’t envy his handlers right about now.
He’s reminding me more and more of the President character Stillson in the movie ‘Dead Zone’. Scary to say the least. “The missles are flying hoorah hoorah.”
