Yes! This is especially true in Trump's case. He's been more successful than we'd like despite his profound stupidity, due to the craven fealty of his party. If he was actually intelligent enough to command respect and influence, we'd be in a world of hurt right now.

In a narcissist, intelligence can be far more dangerous than stupidity.

He's not as stupid as Trump, but he definitely has the same narcissism, sense of entitlement and toddler-level maturity.

One difference between Kavanaugh and Dump is that Kavanaugh likes to physically assault guys too. Dump would not, because he's just too much of a coward. He'd order other people to do it.

I'd like to add he has a form of mental illness. Narcissism comes to mind.

No. It's the full-on drinking and picking fights with other customers that marks him as that.

an OT aside before the meat of the non-comment--I'm home from seeing Liz Phair in Cincinnati earlier tonight and it was one of the days of my life I'll remember forever; I paid for the VIP meet and greet before the show and finally got to stand in her presence after 25 years of being a huge fan.And of course Kavanaugh would go to a UB40 show (no offense, but not my thing). It's right out of the douche-bag white-boy prep school stereotype.

I'm sure the question has been asked, is he ready to drink with the Palens?
