I just listened to the interview. I think you're delusional if this is the impression you got from it. If anyone was trying to browbeat him, it was the host, repeatedly interrupting him, telling him he had to put a dress on. I suspect that you didn't think Kucinich sounded defeated until you heard the host tell Kucinich he sounded defeated. The host kept saying Kucinich sounded defeated, and he tried his damnedest to get Kucinich to admit defeat but it didn't work. If anything, Kucinich probably felt exhausted because he was being interviewed by a someone intent on acting like a loudmouthed douchebag.
Kucinich specifically said in the interview that he wasn't threatened by constituents or the party. Kucinich said repeatedly in the interview that he voted for a flawed bill because he thought it might make more significant reform possible.
