The differences between sociopaths and psychopaths are negligible. In fact, some experts think that they are the very same thing - some people find the word psychopath a little too severe so they use sociopath instead.

What we actually have is someone who does things while ignoring their conscience.

We have been plagued with leaders who seem to have no conscience - like Hillary, Bill, Obuma and hacks like Strzok.

That is why Trump is so earth-shattering to them. He cuts through the lies and leaves no prisoners.

One arguable distinction (and this is a summary): psychopaths enjoy causing pain to others. Sociopaths don’t care if they cause pain to others.

grew up with a brother who was a sociopath and later on in life became a psychopath. The difference is impulse control. this is just the opinion of a layman that has a few family members who are psychopaths and sociopath. A psychopath acts out and is easy for psychiatrists and law enforcement to catch. Sociopaths are a lot harder to catch because they tend to be real intelligent and blend in because they don’t act on impulse. where a sociopath will plan his crime out a psychopath will do there crime and then engage in the cover up because the crime happened because he got angry and reacted. everyone encounters these individuals and they appear charming and its only over time that you realize that these people are not living by the same rules everyone else does.

A thought to give one pause - from what info that I have seen, Strozk was evidently some kind of "fixer", putting out little brushfires, making problems go away. Whether he was following orders from someone else or acting through his own initiative remains to be seen yet he was always present at some critical juncture to make sure that anything that would have broken out and caused issues for Hillary Clinton disappeared. Is it too much to believe that this creature would have been on the short list to be Hillary's new FBI director? Comey is a pencil pushing squish and a ding brain, who would have represented leftover baggage and awkward to keep around. Strozk would have had the appropriate level of aggression and initiative for a high place in a Hillary Clinton regime. Strozk would have been the sort of go-to guy to make problems with political opponents and private citizens "disappear". God truly granted mercy upon us last November.
