The contendersDr. Tiffany Sanders has a PhD and is a licensed psychologist and certified Chicago school psychologist. She did a brief psychological analysis of part of the Republican 2016 presidential field-- and it looks pretty piss-poor. She doesn't trust politicians to keep their word when it comes to upholding campaign promises to constituent groups once they're elected and safely in seats that rarely change. She specializes in treatment of depression, anxiety, trauma and other mental health challenges, treatment a lot of Republicans will need late next year... or treatment all of America will need the following year. Here's how she graded each of the candidates:
Jeb BushPositives: Confident and experienced.Negatives: Entitled and privileged due to the presidency because of family’s lineage. Americans may feel uncomfortable due to the Iraq war fallout from his brother.Grade: CTed CruzPositives: Organized, efficient.Negatives: Rigid, Unknown, uncertainty of who he is and what he stands for. Lacks personality. which may make it hard for others to connect with him as an everyday American.Grade DRand PaulPositives: Rebel rouser and gutsy… willing to take risks and to openly object to those within and outside of his party.Negatives: Aggressive, Dominating and outspokenGrade CMarco RubioPositives: Appealing, open-minded, youthful, and tries to connect with millenials and non-traditional music artists.
