Some people do take rejection hard.
Sandinista leader Daniel Ortega does not as yet appear to exhibit any of these symptoms, but that doesn't mean he's happy with the way things are going in Nicaragua. Indeed, Mr. Ortega is obviously in a state of denial about the fact that the Nicaraguan people have now rejected him two elections in a row. Unfortunately, Mr. Ortega's old friends and sponsors, the Soviets and the Cubans, have either gone out of business or run out of money. So instead of using brute force, he's resolved to dispute the election results. What's more, he is working to foment tensions in this poor and wartorn land.
