How much experience do you have directly looking into the eyes of people who are sociopaths or narcissists as they tell you something, and then later observe behavior? The real kind, not the 'Trump is a braggart so he's a narcissist' kind?
I'm not having Ted committed and I'm not brining him up on any charges. I'm not representing any political campaign and I have nothing to gain by being correct or incorrect. I'm not even diagnosing him. I'm expressing an opinion based on my experiences with certain people. Certain experiences leave a rather deep impression on you, and they tune certain senses pretty delicately. When I see Cruz speak, my senses, based on experience, say 'he's one of them, he's like them.'
I believe he's mentally sick.
To call that 'propaganda' is just silly. You can disagree with me all you want. Maybe I'm wrong. And maybe because you have no experience with such things, you don't see something.
But spare me the 'propaganda' stuff and 'you have to do better'. Sorry, I can't, but I say it because I'm pretty sure it's true. And, it's an opinion based on what my senses tell me, senses that haven't proven to be wrong all that often ... but they have been.
I smell a very disordered man. That I smell it is a statement of fact. That alone gives me practically an obligation to express it, since this guy wants a huge amount of power to influence this country's future and frankly the future of the world.
Let me ask you this - if this is what I sense, deeply, and it concerns me deeply, what would you have me say? Would you like me to mince my words? Keep my mouth shut? I'll keep my mouth shut when he's eliminated.
Perhaps you're accusing me of being insincere. If so, we're done talking, I'm not going to be able to prove that to you either.
I think you are moderately unhinged...I believe that sincerely. You sound like Bush looking into Putin’s soul. You can dislike someone, for whatever reasons you want - but when you start making accusations, you need to have more support than your feelings to impress me.
I am very good at reading people, myself, but I don’t run around making categorical statements based on my feelings. I search for evidence to support my feelings before I spout off.
