I thought if might be helpful once again to review the DSM-5's criteria for antisocial personality disorder, or sociopathy.

There are seven principal criteria and it takes only *three* to determine that someone has this very serious disorder. The seven criteria are:

1. “Failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors, as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest.”

2. “Deceitfulness, as indicated by repeated lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure.”

3. “Impulsivity or failure to plan ahead."

I'm sure all of you can think of countless other examples of these criteria.

Anyway, vote for the guy who isn't a sociopath.
