Dr. 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:

Positives: Confident and experienced.
Negatives: Entitled and privileged due to the presidency because of familys lineage. Americans may feel uncomfortable due to the Iraq war fallout from his brother.
Grade: C

Grade D
