Awesome that there is another choice out there. Shame is you'll have to withstand the brunt of whoever is elected. And as the US goes - so does Canada so us too!

I believe Trump fits many of these characteristics. Hillary is a match on some too but you don’t see the lack of impulse control and sexual promiscuity that is generally the hallmark of a true sociopath. I think she is a crook the same way mafia godfathers are crooks. So, we choose a crook or a nut. Or we choose Evan McMullan if you happen to live in Utah.

Glibness and Superficial Charm Manipulative and Conning They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims. Grandiose Sense of Self Feels entitled to certain things as "their right." Pathological Lying Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests. Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way. Shallow Emotions When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises. Incapacity for Love Need for Stimulation Living on the edge. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal. Promiscuity and gambling are common. Callousness/Lack of Empathy Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others' feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them. Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others. Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency Usually has a history of behavioral and academic difficulties, yet "gets by" by conning others. Problems in making and keeping friends; aberrant behaviors such as cruelty to people or animals, stealing, etc. Irresponsibility/Unreliability Not concerned about wrecking others' lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed. Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity Promiscuity, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual acting out of all sorts. Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle Tends to move around a lot or makes all encompassing promises for the future, poor work ethic but exploits others effectively. Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility Changes their image as needed to avoid prosecution. Changes life story readily.

I am a conservative but more centrist libertarian. I fall square to the right on issues of gun control and abortion. Everything else I try to square with my own personal philosophy and world views. I do in-fact read the Bible. I try to be like like the main character of the New Testament. I fail constantly - but I keep trying. I think the guy is psychologically unhinged. For example he has said: “Nobody reads the bible more than me” "My fingers are long and beautiful, as, it has been well documented, are various other parts of my body." "I think the only difference between me and the other candidates is that I'm more honest and my women are beautiful." “No one is more conservative than me.” “No one is stronger on the Second Amendment than me.” “No one respects women more than me. No one reads the Bible more than me.” “There’s nobody more pro-Israel than I am.” “There’s nobody that’s done so much for equality as I have.” “There’s nobody who feels more strongly about women’s health issues.” “Nobody knows more about taxes than me, maybe in the history of the world.” “I have studied the Iran deal in great detail, greater by far than anyone else.” “Nobody’s ever been more successful than me.” “Nobody knows banking better than I do.” “Nobody knows more about debt than I do.” “Nobody’s bigger or better at the military I am.” “I am the least racist person you’ll ever meet.” “Nobody knows the system better than me.” “Nobody knows politicians better than me.” “Nobody builds better walls than me.” “Nobody knows more about trade than me.” Symptoms of Meglomaina include: Delusional belief of superiority Delusions of greatness Delusions about one's own power Delusions about one's own importance In brief: Delusions This term would most closely correlate to the dsm-iv delusional disorder, in which the individual holds unrealistic beliefs of inflated worth, power, knowledge, identity, or special relationship to a deity or famous person Source: HealthTap, https://www.healthtap.com/user_questions/265257 Now if all of you had some flapping Ethernet circuits, multi-path fading or a rogue DHCP server you could see the symptoms and derive at a conclusion as to what is happening. I know everyone on this list is smart enough to see symptoms and troubleshoot a system. Do you not see the same symptoms I see when examining the public behavior of Trump? -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
