   At least, that's [1]how they self-report -- even when other factors
   are controlled for.

     Republicans are significantly more likely than Democrats or
     independents to rate their mental health as excellent
     ....
     But an analysis of the relationship between party identification
     and self-reported excellent mental health within various categories
     of age, gender, church attendance, income, education, and other
     variables shows that the basic pattern persists regardless of these
     characteristics. In other words, party identification appears to
     have an independent effect on mental health even when each of these
     is controlled for.

   Which tends to argue [2]this nut holding hostages at Hillary's
   campaign offices is probably a Democrat. Let's offer our prayers for
   all involved (atheists may instead merely wish for a positive
   outcome).
