Somewhat yes; more importantly, he's being completely delusional about the state of governing system and the GOP' (un)willingness to make any serious and rational progress on the major issues facing this country.

He's not delusional. He knows what he says is bullsh**t. But he uses identical talking points to far-right organizations like Americans for Prosperity like "voter protection laws are too partisan" after he receives a hefty donation from them.

His true problem is that he's corrupt. For example, his recent vote against the $15 minimum wage was not because his constituents were opposed to it (in fact, 63% of West Virginians support this measure), but because he received donations from the restaurant lobby to oppose it.

Oh I see, one can only be opposed to increasing the minimum wage if paid to oppose it. It's just impossible to have good-faith criticisms of it.

Well, either that or mind-numbing stupidity.
