Where was this roommate during the election?  Did he get promised something and not get it so he is dishing now?
"...I feel like they’re not focusing enough on the issues at hand,” Morey-Parker said. “Where did all this money come from to finance the campaign? … The whole thing is quite bewildering to me.”

Yeah, CNN, instead of these types of interviews, why not do some real journalism for a change?   Oh wait, your new right-wing owners look at Fox News as their journalistic paradigm, sorry, never mind. >

Where did the money and connections come from is the elephant in the room. >

It sucks but it’s ALWAYS about the money, and the connections that get you more money. >

They're not too delusional, he's now a US House member... >

Really taking fake it till you make it to a whole new level >

He also stole his roommates scarf and then wore it to the stop the steal rally...  Irony is dead. >

Delusions of Adequacy might be more to accurate.  If his lying, cheating past is any indicator, expect an absolute stupid gong show to follow. >

He still has, but then he had too. >

I don’t think they’re delusions anymore. >

Delusions or the willingness to exploit Republicans' delusions are necessary to being recognizable as a Republican. >

They aren't delusions if they get all the way to the grandeur part.
He's a liar, a conman, and a deceitful piece of human garbage... and he's repeatedly rewarded for it. So... he's clearly not delusional if it's working for him.
Our world is a fucking mess... >

Not really delusional since he is now a federal congressman with access to lobbyist money. >

That's all it takes to hold public office in America post Trump and fam >

Hell fit right with the GOP >

Had? >

Most people with schizophrenia wouldn't be able to get as far as Santos has. It's a severe disability that affects people's cognition and planning skills, not just their grip on reality. From everything I've heard about him, Santos just looks like a con artist. 
(Not a doctor, of course.) >

Grandiosity is, however, common in bipolar disorder (previously called manic-depressive illness). It’s quite common and a real possibility. >

That's a possibility, though bipolar disorder is episodic, and if Santos's mania were severe enough to produce delusions and other symptoms of psychosis, it would be unlikely that he would get this far without crashing or ending up in a psych ward. I've interacted with people in the middle of psychotic episodes. They were all too erratic to pull off a successful congressional campaign. 
I think he's just a liar and a fraud. No need to give him an armchair diagnosis. There's something too studied about Santos's affect. >

I've worked with this patient population too, and it's amazing that some people can be in a manic episode for a year before they're hospitalized. >

To be fair, he did become a US Congressman.
I dislike Santos as much as the next Antifa vice president of the San Diego chapter local 403, but let's be honest, they may have been delusions at the time, but it does seem like he made the grandeur come true.     Even if he lied his way to get there.
