Comey explains to CNN audience just how Trump "eats your soul in small bites."

Couldn't get direct link to video but it's at the link. If anyone can find a direct link to the video clip, please post.

Anderson asks Comey how Trump eats your soul. The audience laughs but Comey is dead serious and proceeds to explain just how Trump eats your soul, and how when he didn't go along with the process, it was the end of their relationship.

Maybe it's just me, but I avoid the wealthy, the powerful, the narcissistic like the plague. That type of person makes me ill. I would be an epic fail in politics!

He is so personally reprehensible, so repulsive, I just understand how anyone can get be enamoured by him.

I've seen in action in every line of work I've ever experienced. Everything at some point boils down to character.

Sociopaths and psychopaths are particularly adept at these techniques, at recognizing who they can and cannot manipulate. Their techniques vary but they are all toward one end: staying in control of as much as possible in order to garner power unto themselves.

If you cover politics enough, you start seeing it on every level and you become very jaded about those who seek elected office.
