He doesn't understand that talking about the ballroom won't win him a single extra vote. In fact, he will lose votes by keep on talking about it. Even though he is a manipulator, he talks about it because he is so proud of himself for making it happen, and wants to boast about it, unaware that he should never talk about it.

He cannot think beyond where his emotions take him at any given moment in time. He is unable to understand what is most important or think in a complex way, considering the consequences of what he says or does. This is a very dangerous situation.
