one can learn how sociopaths' brains work, study years of public statements and behaviors on their part, and thus be able to identify what they think. With the defendent, for but one example, he is compulsive in projecting outward what at some levels he is aware of internally. In other instances, there are more direct ways, such as when the defendent said "those documents are mine." Per his concepts regarding "race," one can look back at hisasking, "Where's my black?" at a rally. Thus, I'm comfortable regarding his recent emphasis on President Obama's middle name, as it holds great significance to him.

I do not keep notes on his public statements, of course, but have heard him talk about President Obama tapping his phone and stressing his middle name recently. I do not think it is difficult to assess either how he thinks, or what he fears and how that motivates his behaviors. Indeed, his pathologies were remarkably well detailed in Dr. Bandy Lee's book, "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump," by Bandy and 36 other mental health experts. He is not that different than a number of the sociopaths I dealt with in the county jail for years, and just as predictable. The only distinction between the defendent and those guys is the socio-economic class each was born in.

The biggest issue in 2024 -- in my opinion -- is how hard the grass roots works to get the vote out. And that obviously includes not allowing the party to be divided, since we always win presidential elections when we are united, and always lose when there are petty divisions.
