I know people who have worked for him. He is a man in full and it is very hard to change his views. It's like throwing a tennis ball (knowledge) against a wall (his brain). He is set in his ways and not astute when it comes to things with which he is unfamiliar. Since he is in a new climate (Washington) he has gone from being the hunter to the prey. Eventually he will figure this out, but it may be too late for him.
