Patrick McHenry and the Nastiness of College Republicans

Here McHenry is, falsely calling Elizabeth Warren a liar.

Why is this fellow such a nasty jackass? One hypothesis: because he came up through the College Republicans. The CRs, as you may remember from your undergraduate days, are an unusually nasty lot on average. McHenry is alleged, for example, to have influenced a CR election by phoning some of the relevant college kids and telling them that, if they voted the wrong way, their career in the GOP was over. Yep, that's pretty consistent with what I remember about those kids. Nothing screams "I got beat up a lot in high school" like being a member of the CRs...
