I Guess Reich Would Know About Ego

Where egos dare: Manchin and Sinema show how Senate spotlight corrupts

It's a bit unseemly to psychoanalyze from afar, not just because almost all of it is done by people with no training in the field but also, people with such training would be committing professional malpractice.  So nobody should do it.

Still, it's fair to hold people to their own book of rules.  Reich seems okay with musing on the psychological motive of senators, so maybe little I, can put little Reich on the couch for a bit. 

I think Reich is an egomaniac.  If you look at the comments from a random Tweet of his, many of his 1.4 million followers will shamelessly stroke his ego.  I think he says intemperate things like his assertion that Democratic senators should give senator Sinema the back of their hands, to get attention.  It works.  How many minor cabinet secretaries from 30 years ago have 1.4 million followers on Twitter?  He serves up the red-meat so craved by the soygentsia.
