Maybe it's just his "non substance" life and career experience.[/QUOTE]
Look at the "substance" of Mikey's Ford (Stirpe) hybrid life. Probably more early childhood trauma than most of us can imagine, and that's just for starters. The last 6+ years as a minor FoFam celebrity. The last 2+ years as Doug's son-surrogate since the last mayoral election camping. And then at Rob's funeral he was overshadowed by Doug Jr's acquisition of Doug Jr Jr as a second surrogate son and political tool of the family.
The story of super predators and a lot of learned helplessness in that clan that will be claimed by Dougie as achievements in his pursuit of his own opportunities for "greatness" and a 'legitimate' male heir to the dynasty.
More Grimm than Shakespeare.
