do you think that perhaps Scott Walker is mentally ill?

1. It is hard to say simply from observing him on TV.

He seems narcissistic. He thinks he is Reagan, but he is closer to Nixon.

He is out of control, like Nixon.

Remember, the people closest to Nixon worried about his sanity, too.

Do you think he is looking paler and more drawn lately? I can't tell from TV. Another reason I can't tell is that he does not look anyone in the eye. Even on camera, he looks off to the side. His eyes seem dead, too.

3. I have noticed that about his eyes,

too. It is strange that he doesn't really show emotion; he has a very flat affect. And I agree that his eyes look dead. And he is doing all this stuff with no apparent empathy. Then he defies a court order. Who does this? Nobody acts like this. I think he may really be mentally ill. Or maybe he was abused when he was young, and now, with all this power, his judgment goes haywire. I don't know. But, I think he is not just a guy with bad politics. He seems not well, to me.

2. Narcissistic personality disorder?

I'm not psych, but...

4. John McCain is, not sure about Scott.

Fairly sure he knows what the fuck he's doing.. breaking the law

5. The fact that he's a Republican should answer your question.

Seriously, think of what they do to win - lie, cheat, steal, fraud, murder. And when they're called on it, they look dumb and say, "Who, me?" and then start lying, cheating, etc. to cover up their mess. If there were three Democrats and a Republican in a lifeboat out in the middle of the ocean, with enough food and water for a week, who would survive? The Republican, because he/she would kill the other three in order to have enough food/water for four weeks. Why wouldn't the Democrats throw the Republican overboard? Because as a group, they're too nice. Now expand the scenario to see what they will do to our nation and planet if we let them get away with it.
