Sweet talk is a form of emotional manipulation calculated to seduce and exploit. In reality, the narcissist wants you to feel special not because they really care about you, but because they want something from you. In interpersonal and/or romantic relationships, narcissists are often quick to profess their admiration of and attraction for you, usually without bothering to really know you as a person. Narcissists have the ability to be charming and charismatic when they choose.(13) Like a master salesperson, they know how to say the right things to entice your attention, and steer you into believing their sugar-coated persuasions. ![]() “I’m Here for You / I Care About You / I Love You!” You should have called to make sure it wasn’t misfiled.”Ħ. “It’s not our fault that we misplaced your check. All of the manipulative devices above serve to shift scrutiny and responsibility away from the narcissist, so that her or his weaknesses, deficiencies, and failings can remain hidden.(3)(12) Finally, the narcissist may make herself out to be the victim, pointing to any number of difficulties and hard-luck struggles which prevented her from being accountable, and ask for leniency (again being an exception to the rule). Another common response is making excuses - there is always some unexpected or unforeseen circumstance which deterred the narcissist from being responsible. Oftentimes, the narcissist will blame their victims for having caused their own victimization. When this occurs, one of the most common responses of the narcissist is to point fingers, and shift responsibility to others. Inevitably, the self-absorbed and manipulative machinations of a chronic narcissist will catch up with her or him, and land the narcissist in hot water. “Rules are meant to be broken – that’s how you WIN.”ĥ. “I take pride in persuading people to give me exceptions to their rules.” From their self-absorbed perspective, they deserve the privilege of being catered to, and other people’s thoughts and feeling are irrelevant.(5)(9)Ī Compassionate Partner's Guide to Narcissism In the mind-set of some narcissists, they are gods and goddesses, and the world revolves around them.

For Donnelly, his surge in the polls shows he is in tune with constituents fed up with what they see as dysfunctional, bloated government. “Tone down the crazy,” conservative pundits counselled.īut in California the grassroots call the shots, making the Tea Party a resilient force. Calls to reoccupy the centre ground swelled last November after Tea Party-backed candidates lost in Virginia and the moderate Chris Christie triumphed in New Jersey. Republican leaders have talked of expunging extremism, perceived or real, since Barack Obama turned Mitt Romney's anti-immigrant stance into a stick in the 2012 presidential race. “I expect Democrats nationwide to be mentioning Tim Donnelly a lot.” That scenario would abort GOP efforts to rebuild in California, where it has foundered since Arnold Schwarzenegger's stint as governor, and resonate beyond the state, he said. “Brown could use him as a bogeyman, say he's anti-hispanic and motivate hispanics to turn out and hurt other Republicans running for office.” “Personally I'm backing Neel Kashkari, he's the fresh face we need and will stand a better chance against Brown.”ĭonnelly's rhetoric on immigration could mobilise the Democratic base, said Pitney. “Some of our members worry about his impact on latino voters but others are very impressed by his stance on other issues,” said the group's president, Errol Valladares, of Donnelly. The California Republican National Hispanic Assembly is split over whom to endorse. “We will get the same anarchy and corruption that all these people are fleeing.” “If we undermine the rule of law we will lose this republic,” he said.

Since running for the gubernatorial nomination he has focused on crumbling infrastructure, shoddy schools and the flight of businesses to lower tax states. He has voted against bills on minimum wage and transgender rights, wants to abolish the Air Resources Board which regulates air quality, and calls state welfare programmes a form of slavery. The concern for the GOP, said Pitney, is that a Donnelly candidacy would tar Republicans running for other state offices – and the party's image beyond California.Ī former Minuteman who led militia-style border patrols, the Golden State's GOP frontrunner favours Arizona-style laws against illegal immigration, which he has linked to gang violence, and opposes driving licences and public financial aid for undocumented people. “Brown would have to commit a major felony with a minor farm animal on TV to lose,” said Jack Pitney, a political scientist at Claremont McKenna college. “We have to remember that if people don't like us they won't vote for us.”įew doubt that Governor Jerry Brown, a Democratic incumbent with 59% approval ratings and a $20m (£12m) campaign war chest, will squash whichever Republican runs against him in November. “We're making it very difficult to be likeable,” he said. Latinos, women and young people, in particular, are likely to recoil should Donnelly clinch the nomination, said Lionel Sosa, a Texas-based GOP media guru who advised Ronald Reagan, both Bushes and John McCain.
