The Real Reason Hillary's Health Is At Issue

Just admit it, the people pointing out Clinton's "cough" are not worried about her health, they are actually worried that if she actually does drop out and they can no longer use her "scandals to prop up the trump campagin.

It would be Donald trump versus Tim Kaine.
 
If you think that Trump lies less often than Hillary, then you're delusional.

Yeah, that story about Trump dodging sniper fire was a doozy. And then there was the one about not having any classified documents on his server. Oh, wait ...
 
1. Neither does Hillary.

2. True.

3. No, she really doesn't. An occasional dry cough in someone who speaks loudly every single day and basically lives on airplanes, and the hacks are using that to try to tell us she's dying? While I suppose it is possible she's actually dying of some exotic disease, it is far more likely that she just uses her voice a lot.

Do you see other people who speak loudly all day having these 4 minute coughing jags?

You guys are constantly making excuses for this woman. The excuses are as lame as her lies.
 
It's called desperation. With Trump on their ticket, they have to resort to the lowest of the scum-sucking low to win the election.

I don't see Trump supporters being desperate. Trump has been gaining in the polls.
 
Maybe because 1) he doesn't really appear sick, 2) he does more than enough crazy and idiotic crap to keep the press busy, and 3) Hillary seems to actually have a problem, maybe it isn't a bad health problem, but there is a problem none-the-less and the fact that she's proven that we can't trust a thing that either she or her staff ever say just plays into the rumor-mill. But, what do I know?

Trump suffers from NPD and quite possibly the early stages of Alzheimer's. A CAT scan of his brain is something I'd like to see given his erratic behavior and family history.

Your evidence for this? I mean, other than the inside of your own head.

The NPD is not a subject of debate he checks every single box. The Alzheimer's is less certain but his behavior is also consistent with the onset of dementia. Also his family history wrt dementia is troubling. That's why we need a brain scan to check for plague deposits.
 
His claims hold just as much weight as the conspiracy theories about Clinton's cough.

No, they don't. ;)

You can dismiss Clinton's coughing fits out of hand, but they actually could be a sign of a serious problem.
 
Ok. Question is, why aren't they harping on Trump the same way?

He's got his niggling little problems too, including with his voice (actually, most of the candidates of all ages have had voice and cough issues on stage -- they do a ton of speaking and spend half their time on planes, what do you expect?). He's even older than Hillary is, and if anything, has an even worse record as far as telling the truth.

So why isn't he getting the third degree on every little cough, every prescription, every time he touches a stair rail?

Trump is running around doing rallies all over the place, having a pretty intense schedule. Hillary has small little relaxing gatherings of moneyed elites and hides from the press. Not really comparable there.

so could trumps erratic behavior and troubling inability to remember what he said previously - even that what he said only hours before.

If it is a problem, Tim Kaine will replace her as the candidate.

And I think Clinton is capable of holding her own, she withstood up to 11 hours questioning by the Benghazi commitee.

rofl..."an occasional dry cough"? Really? No. A cough habitual cough that leaves her unable to speak for minutes at a time, when she's not even out there pounding away at big rallies. Or how about being off-balance and needing help up stairs. Or how about her missing a chunk of her tongue?

Is that usually how we elect a POTUS in this country? No, it's not.

Does a running mate automatically become the candidate if the nominee cannot continue?
 
That in and of itself is a problem. No other candidate that I can remember has had this much trouble with a cough and at least what looks like physical weakness from time to time. I don't think she has some exotic disease, and in fact I don't think anything is all that wrong with her other than her age. Some people live to an age of 100+ and are healthy most every day of their lives. Some people die before they reach old age at all and have tremendous medical issues. Both of those are rather rare and I think Hillary is somewhere in between those two extremes. Comparing her health to Trump's is illogical because no two people are similar in health.

Don't forget that she's also missing a chunk of her tongue, had to wear special medical glasses after her concussion (which is usually for more severe cases), and having a blood clot on her brain.

If you are afraid of Hilliary being too ill to run, she may decide to step down and allow someone to take her place.

Tim Kaine is the vice presidential nominee, so he is the most likely choice.

Again I ask, is that how it's done? The nominee chooses who will run in his place?
 
Much like if Trump changes his core positions on issues, rightists would still vote for him...

Oh wait, that actually happened, unlike the Clinton one...



No, it is actually kinda amusing and fun to wind up the conspiracy cooks over this. Much like winding up the bithers and truthers.

I'm not sure what a "conspiracy cook," is. As far as your birthers/truthers, both of those beliefs were started by the kook left. The commie Van Jones for example is big on the truther thing. And I believe a Crazy Crooked Granny operative started the birther thing back in 2008.

Nice try though. Keep up the good work. LMAO
 
The mental retardation of the right wing knows no limits. What point is there in speculating about Clinton's health? she'll either be fit and serve her term(s), or her health will fail her at some point and her VP will step in, the VP that was part of her ticket and subject to the electorate's will.

yes

it's mental masterbation

they think of it and they orgasm

it's the nature of the beast
