bad mistakes and really incompetently missed opportunities to widen his appeal, both among the many voter groups he must have and among his colleagues, many of whom long ago grew tired of his "holier than thou," as Barney Frank put it, attitudes. He is not suited to dealing with members of a very diverse society and its various needs and it shows. So naturally clueless and has trouble playing well with others instead of "rackety".

For the rest, enough of the games. You may not see it, but everybody else does. Why do you think he's struggling so badly with minorities? His inability to connect with them is a lifelong pattern of failing to respect the right of people to hold opinions and have interests that do not reflect his own. That actually was a factor in his settling in a very white state. He did not do well in New York.
