There is something more important to guys like Trump. Ego. He did this for his Trump resume. And when this is over, his "brand' will be bigger than ever.
Sorry. It's about ego. |

I understand that ego plays a part in just about every politician. But Trump is the poster child for Ego.
Also, you won't want to pick a fight with this girl. I assure you, you will lose.  |

Okay. So a person posting under a pen name says his wife agrees with the statements written by an anonymous person claiming to be a woman. Okay.
I'm sure there are quite a few women who are voting for Trump, but there will be lots more who are not. |
Bonnie, if that is such a problem for you to believe, PM me and I'll give you my name and my wife's email address. |
I'll take you up on that. Seriously, go for it. |

I just know he fits the narcissist's profile, and narcissists aren't likely to change.

Did I miss the non-narcissistic candidate?  |
|
Nixon the worst.
Hillary second.
Gore third.
Trump fourth. |
I would rate them as
Trump the worst in the history of Earth.
Gore second and most ridiculous.
Clinton third and as shady as they come.
I cant remember much about Nixon other than something crooked - fourth. |

I did not really expect this much discussion on the entry. I did ot ask my cousin if his Sister-in-law said those things. My wife does not read Acts, but she would echo those words. She just voted for Trump. She had three or four ladies (close friends) who are more Trump that RS.
My girl thinks for her self. WE sat and filled out our ballots and she voted for whom she wanted, she usually votes the way I do, but not always, and I have no problem with it. This time it is an actual vote against Hillary. She said that very thing. She also said, Trump cannot be as stupid as he is painted or he would be broke instead of a Billionaire.
I don't like anonymous e-mails my self, but this was sent by my cousin whose honesty and respect is well known in our family.

Massive egos go with the job.
Ike
Nixon
Clinton
Carter
Reagan
All thought they would be better at the job than anyone else on earth.
That's why they run. _________________ Whether you like it or not, learn to love it, because its the best thing going today! |

Narcissism exists on a continuum and at the far end is narcissistic personality disorder. NPD is not the same as having a healthy dose of self confidence. And regardless of what you think of Carter's policies and his presidency, he just doesn't fit the profile of narcissist at all.
Reagan was too cool when criticized to be consider narcissistic. I think you're probably right about Nixon (but I'm not old enough to remember him ).
Of course, Trump has a singular inability to control his mouth in public that makes him stand out from most candidates I can think of.
No matter how hard I try, I just can't imagine Reagan sending out a 3:00 am tweet complaining about how trashy a former Miss Universe is.

I think there will be a lot of 'voting against the other candidate' in this election. It's really too bad we don't have any better choices. |

| Obama should be on that list. He's above the law (his mighty pen/exec-order), whines when criticized, talks about himself constantly, loves the company of celebrities, believes he's the last word on any subject, delusional ("there have been no scandals in my administration"), goes after the press when he doesn't like what they says. Sounds a bit hypocritical? |

I think we need to add Ric Flair to the list of narcissists as well.

Why is Nixon first? I would say Hillary first. While I agree his ill-advised coverup was done to protect his Presidency (or so he thought), I don't think his overall personality was narcissitic as is Hillary. Let me qualify that a bit, I think ANY person willing to run for President likely is narcissitic in order to survive the viciousness of the campaign. It is a question of who is most narcisstic.
Hillary's entire adult life since marrying Bill was to accumulate power (and yes that is true for other Presidential candidates as well). I do NOT justify Nixon's choices and he did a tremendous amount of damage to the country, not the least of which is the emergence of the news media as a major source of influence to the liberal agenda.
Personally, I would probably move them all up one notch and put Nixon at 4th or 5th (perhaps below Bill).
I'm just curious on the factors in putting Nixon first.

On second thought, I may agree with you that Trump should be first
PLEASE remember, Nixon KNEW he had been robbed of the Presidency in 1960 because of the dead voters in Chicago, yet he chose to not protest for the good of the country. I suspect that played a role in his mindset to cover up Watergate as he had been cheated earlier and did not want to lose the Presidency (that he felt he should have earned in 1960) and made horrible decisions to protect his Presidency. That is another reason to NOT put Nixon first. I realize Nixon did a lot of harm to the country, but he had also sought to protect the country from being divided in 1960.

What about LBJ? Was he a narcissist or just a megalomaniac?
On second thought, I guess Obama is also a magalomaniac |
