Schifanelli Should Study The Goldwater Rule AND Stop Playing Shrink

American Psychiatric Association on Twitter: "Simply put, breaking the Goldwater  Rule is irresponsible, potentially stigmatizing, and definitely unethical.  https://t.co/lKQ8pFLznO https://t.co/4SJ03DEXdM" / Twitter

I am so disgusted with a recent Gordana Schifanelli “self-made” meme, that I refuse to post it here.  (At least I think it is her self-made” meme, as it has her signature writing mistakes, and she provides no reference.)

I will go through the more egregious portions. 

The title of the meme is:  “Larry Hogan Has Striking Similarities to Amber Heard”.    Gordana, really?  You must try and get Governor Hogan out of your head.   He is NOT your competition. 

“Histrionic personality disorder (HPD) is a mental health condition marked by unstable emotions, a distorted self-image, and an overwhelming desire to be noticed.”  Schifanelli never provides a reference, but she took the definition from a Cleveland Clinic website. 

Let’s take a look at the symptoms of HPD:  Dresses provocatively, exhibits seductive or flirtatious behavior, acts dramatically with exaggerated emotions and expressions, appears to lack sincerity, is excessively sensitive to criticism, makes rash decisions, is self-centered, threatens suicide to gain attention.    

Gordana, have you studied psychiatry?  Have you completed a full medical and psychiatric history?  Have you performed a physical exam and done lab tests?  Do you understand the word “projection”?   

I REALLY don’t see Governor Hogan displaying ANY of these symptoms!!

Schifanelli’s next comment on the meme:  “It is clear to all that Hogan is not only an epic failure to the Republican Party, but the entire State of Maryland (even though he portrays a very different narrative).  With his constant self-glorify fallacy, that there is a slim chance in hell he would ever be considered a viable candidate.”     (Please watch sentence structure.)

“To all”?  No, not with his approval numbers.

She goes on:  “As I watch Amber Heard describe herself as a mild-mannered June Cleaver type wife, I saw a striking resemblance to the parallel Hogan is painting to Reagan.  Could they both be suffering from HPD?  Possibly. If so, is he stable enough to complete his term?”   

Gordana, who is Reagan?

Gordana, you are dealing in a delusional world of your own.

Gordana, do you understand the “Goldwater Rule”?

Her last sentence is just stupid.   Talking of Hogan, “we have already forgotten your name.”   Apparently, you have not forgotten his name, Gordana, as you have some sort of addiction in continuing to insult our Governor egregiously.  

I have to wonder where the bottom is for the Cox Campaign as they continue pathologically to insult anyone who does not fall into lock-step with them.  

This is a horrible look.  The Republican Party does not do this kind of trashing.   But the Trump Party apparently thinks it is okay to be pathologically insulting.  

As stated above, simply breaking the Goldwater Rule is simply irresponsible and definitely unethical.   But that is where we are with this campaign.
