I thought if might be helpful once again to review the DSM-5's criteria for antisocial personality disorder, or sociopathy.

There are seven principal criteria and it takes only *three* to determine that someone has this very serious disorder. The seven criteria are:

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.”

I'm sure all of you can think of countless other examples of these criteria.

Anyway, vote for the guy who isn't a sociopath.
