As I agree with you that Bill Clinton does show some of the symptoms, there are a few that are particular to a sociopath that he lacks.
He does exhibit some superficial charm, poor judgment, and failure to learn by experience. But these traits can be found in any person. The definition of a sociopath is someone who exhibits chronic immoral and antisocial behavior. Though Clinton has exhibited these before he has not presented chronic behavior.
The traits that he does not exhibit are clear signs that he is not a sociopath. The biggest indicator is antisocial behavior, which Clinton does not exhibit. Many people have commented on his presence in a room and his social abilities. Another indicator is a failure to follow a life plan, and as we all know he fulfilled his plan to become president and also accomplished a great deal throughout his life.
Third, most sociopaths have a history of substance abuse. Which Clinton does not have a history of.

yngster your personal relationships do not hold up against the facts. These symptoms that I have listed are commonly used to define a sociopath by many doctors. They originated in the Mask of Sanity by Hervey Cleckly. Which in his description he clearly points out that sociopaths have antisocial behavior.

I think your observation of "swinging" could be distorted. The Clinton's personal experiences our hard to judge because we all do not know what they are/were thinking. Many swingers might be in an open relationship which involves sex with other people. This situation could have been merely about the sexual encounter and not about Love. Also your narrow minded definition of love is distorted. No one person can define Love or what Love means to another person. So saying that Clinton has a distorted view of Love is a distorted opinion of Love in general.

Also challenging the title of the debate "In my Opinion, Bill Clinton is a sociopath". You have not presented any hard evidence of Clinton being a sociopath. So I ask, what evidence or facts do you have? Besides your own unreliable personal opinion.

yngster you state that sociopaths do not need to meet all of the criteria. But if there is no evidence to meet any of the criteria then you have nothing and thus far you have proven nothing.
As for Bill Clinton being ashamed of anything. That is something no one can decipher from words alone. Because that is feeling that Clinton would have by himself. But I distinctly remember Clinton apologizing on TV for being ashamed of the Monica incident.
You also stated that Clinton didn't accomplish more than 50% of his campaign promises. But I implore you to find a president in the last 50 years who has met all of their campaign promises. You also stated that this is caused by pathological lying. But this is untrue this is merely politics.
The second biggest symptom after antisocial behavior is "semantic dementia". Which means saying one thing and doing another. Which means he would have to not fulfill all of his promises.

Your definition of a sociopath is flawed because it leaves room for many exceptions and interpretations of definitions. By your standards just about any person could be a sociopath.
