The Goldwater rule is the informal name of the American Psychiatric Associations guideline that it is unethical for psychiatrists to give a professional opinion about public figures whom they have not examined in person, and from whom they have not obtained consent to discuss their mental health in public statements. Its named after 1964 Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater, who sued a magazine and won after it published a story claiming over a thousand mental health experts said he was unfit for office.

Hilarious!
“Hilarious! “
LOL! Comfort dog goes AWOL.
Democrat Party 2020 POTUS debates...whose watching these circus freaks Democrat Party 2020 POTUS candidates....no one with an objective, functioning, brain, an ounce of common sense, and realization that Democrat, Joe Biden is an absolute certified nutcase as are the other twenty-four twisted sisters and brothers on stage with Biden & company.
Me...I’ll be tuning in to none other then our great POTUS, Donald J. Trump as he skips and tweets his merry way through the Democrat madness and insanity!!! Good luck “Fake News” NBC, MSNBC and of course my best regards...”NOT”.....to the one and only, the best “fruitcake” in the entire world, the warped alien, Ms. or Mr., whichever, Rachel Maddow!!! Have fun Idiots!!! Very few folks will be watching!!!
Yeah man I’d rather do a week at Riker’s than watch a dem debate.
Circus freaks LOL.
With over 20 candidates, I don’t even know who half or.more of them are.
I can’t wait to hear the zingers. I’m sure they all.agree that Trump is Hitler. I can’t wait to see the one upmanship as each tries to outdo the others in their denunciations of Trump.
I had no idea the Left had been using these attacks so far back.
Anyone know if they did the same thing for Eisenhower?
And I like more than half of them less than a toothache.
With apologies to Uncle Bilbo.
Dems weren’t that uncouth back then...
I call mine the “babysitting rule.”
I actually think about it quite often.
For instance:
Whom would you trust to baby-sit your kids?
ANY leftist media host,
ANY Hollywood “star,”
ANY psychologist...
(My sister the psychologist specializes in “making you feel OK about your decisions,”)
ANY “social influencer,” rap star, etc...
or Barry Goldwater?
Hmm?
