PT-psychological topic-Fear of Failure Enacted by Insurgents

I've seen it so many times over the years...Candidates like Jerry Brown, Pat Buchanan, Ross Perot, John Mcclain....They start to get some traction. they get on top. They win a few (at least in Michigan & New Hampshire). Then they "look down" & their "fear of heights" get to them. They do dumb photo-ops. They say stupid things. They make obvious mistakes. Is it a fear of failure? Or maybe they just have dark visions of the Ambassador Hotel........
