Anyone who has studied Cluster B, Axis II Personality Disorders and witnessed John McCain’s behavior over the last 20 years must believe McCain to have a high level of narcissistic rage. I know that I do.
Anyone who has suffered through a relationship with one of these seriously messed-up individuals is familiar with the behavioral characteristics demonstrated by the senior senator from Arizona.
Pathological lying, projection, triangulation, temper tantrums, inflated sense of self-worth, the debasement of others and a win-at-all-costs mentality are all signs of an extreme narcissist.
IMHO, John McCain is a seriously disordered human being and Americans are lucky he hasn’t done any more damage than he has.
In addition, since I forgot to mention it, one of the most highly destructive characteristics of these people is vindictiveness.
Those that suffer from narcissistic personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, histrionic personality disorder, borderline personality disorder and/or a combination of these personality disorders (comorbidity), almost always have a high level of vindictiveness.
