Heck, the American people revile Clinton. He was a failure, but Clinton's obvious mental illness - and his parasitic enablers - played a strong part in that.
____________________________________________________________
IS THIS THE ANSWER?: A devoted reader makes the simple case that Clinton does what he does because he is a sociopath. Here's the official American Psychiatric Association definition. Sound familiar?
(1) failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as
indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest
(2) deceitfulness, as indicated by repeated lying, use of aliases, or conning
others for personal profit or pleasure
(3) impulsivity or failure to plan ahead
(4) irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights
or assaults
(5) reckless disregard for safety of self or others
(6) consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain
consistent work behavior or honor financial obligations
(7) lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing
having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another.

Very familiar. Clinton is a sociopath, that explains him and those that supported him. |
