GOP getting ready to dump Trump?
It's probably going to happen ....
http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/firs...s-mode-n622116
https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/h...205000640.html
And there's a lot of traffic on Trump's mental well-being ....
Personally, I've felt for a long time (based on my graduate work in Psychology -- I'm just four hours short of a Master's degree) that Trump evidences sociopathic behavior evidenced by ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder). So there's quite a few episodes that have given grist to that mill.

I've no doubts that (ultra left wing) Yahoo "news" and NBC news could paint Albert Einstein as high school dropout that that was a loser that worked for the gov in a low paying job and was terrible at math........
Your sources are questionable at best.

ODD could also be called: Oppositional Denial Disorder...

Don't thinks so. Caught two murderers with my forensic profiling ... so I don't think I'll ask for refund.
Thanks anyway.

And your observations of Clinton are significantly different?
How about any other high-powered politician?

I don't think she's a sociopath. I think she's a liar, a thief, an opportunist, and a con artist ... so in that regard she and Trump are only alike as con artists. ... and no, I won't be voting for her either.

Top, I don't think it's just the left-wingers who are talking about it ... it's a topic of conversation, in different forms, on almost every news forum ....
e.g.
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/rnc-c...ry?id=41090007
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/senio...ry?id=41089609
Anyway, that's the buzz around the water fountain ....

I don't think that the GOP is not going to dump Trump any more than the Dems will dump Clinton (Unless she gets arrested...except even the FBI won't do that).
The horses for this race have been chosen. One of them will be our president.
I don't think Trump is crazy. I think he speaks off the cuff more than he should, and that he is not playing by "the Republican candidate rules" (e.g. let the dems say and do whatever they want and don't ever return fire or go for the kill)

Trump is use to conducting "cut-throat" business deals every day of his life. He is used to getting his way or taking his toys and leaving.
I am sure he has utilized "politics" in his business dealings, but again, if he didn't get his way or buy his way, he left.
In the world of politics, it's a different beast. Right now, he has people voting for him for some of those very reasons.
But, should he get elected, he will find that he will often times not get his way and simply have to live with it.

Didn't we learn over the past 8 years that this is what executive orders are for?

I'm pretty sure UWOA was speaking to his confidence in his profiling ability, and pointing out his past success at it. It's a big ass stretch to say he was calling Trump a murderer.

I don't think she's a sociopath either (although she does present traits). I think she is a psychopath:
A disregard for laws and social mores. Persistent criminal behavior.
A disregard for the rights of others.
A failure to feel remorse or guilt.
A tendency to display violent behavior. In her case, this typically manifests itself in verbal outbursts. See anyone who has served on her protection details. Although she and Bill have left quite the stack of bodies in their wake...
An inability to form emotional attachments or feel real empathy towards others.
Adept at use of manipulation, mimicry, cunning, and duplicity to achieve one's ends. The big one here is mimicry. Most psychopaths learn to use mimicry very early on in their lives. It is their biggest survival mechanism, because without it, the rest of society is able to see them for what they truly are.
