Mental health advocate and former Rep. Patrick Kennedy made a plea in the Washington Post urging people to stop calling Donald Trump 'crazy.'
The son of the late Sen. Ted Kennedy started his op-ed by detailing a number of names the Republican nominee has been called: 'crazy,' 'psychopath,' not 'sane,' having a 'screw lose' and suffering from 'narcissistic personality disorder' none of which are actually diagnosed.
'With all of this damaging rhetoric floating around in our national political discourse, especially what we hear from and about Trump, its no wonder that people remain silent and the suffering continues,' Kennedy argued.(snip)
'And believe me, I'm no Trump fan,' he said. 'There's a lot to criticize about the policies, ideas and ideology of the Republican nominee.'
'As a person, he lashes out with unnecessary cruelty, and his policies would drive our country into a lengthy recession,' Kennedy added, suggesting putting the Republican nominee in the White House would cost the country 3.5 million jobs.
'We can reject Trump without resorting to making baseless diagnoses of his mental health,' Kennedy argued.

Once the ‘Hitler’ slur didn't work these "liberal elites" had to fall back on their extensive (/s)understanding of psychology... they pulled slurs out of Abnormal Psychology 101 Textbooks...
What else can we expect of democrats?
They function on the level of name callers, eye rollers, and other lowlife assorted 'tricks'...
They're corrupt and horrible... and not too bright.

Interesting the young Kennedy boy chooses to stand with the mentally ill on the 50th anniversary of
this little ditty being way up on the Top40.
