Washington Post changes concerns about Hillary Clinton’s health from “junk science” to “a real issue”

On August 8, 2016, the Washington Post published this article, which is called “Armed with junk science and old photos, critics question #HillarysHealth.”

On September 11, 2016, the same newspaper published this other article, which is called “Hillary Clinton’s health just became a real issue in the presidential campaign.”

Both titles are wrong.

The first title is wrong, because the claims about Hillary Clinton being sick were not based on “junk science.” Instead, they were based on photographs and videos.

The second title is wrong, because Clinton’s health did not “just” become an issue. Instead, it has been an issue for quite some time. Instead, the only thing that is “just” happening is that the Washington Post is finally admitting something that it should have admitted a long time ago.

Large numbers of regular people on the internet – bloggers, YouTubers, and people posting at the comment sections in news articles – people with no “credentials” and no formal training or degree in journalism – have proven themselves to be better reporters than the “reporters” at the Washington Post.

Felt sick watching that awful clip of Hilary Clinton collapsing today. Got a horrible horrible premonition this will swing it for Trump

The episode doesn’t end with “I’m feeling fine”.

What does her campaign do to prevent future episodes like this from happening?

They can’t drug her up because it will affect her acuity.

They can’t flank her on all sides in every public situation she’s in to prevent her from falling.

They can’t have her seen using a walker or being wheeled in a chair.

They can’t have her continually leaning on a podium or sitting on a stool.

I expect they will just attempt to run out the clock with as few public appearances (as short as they can get away with) as possible. The most innocuous explanation for this is sheer exhaustion, but there are far worse explanations which need to be ruled out. In any case, exhaustion or serious illness, she is not up to the rigors of being president.

Actually Kaine might qualify for the first women President,too.
I guess if he says he is a women than he is?

Chris knew it is a real issue. He is just another mediabot down for the cause to get a fellow liberal socialist elected.

Obama thinks about a lot of things he'd like to do regardless of the Constitution. Has got away with a lot already.

BTW, what is cwii/rwii?

A joke has started going around the Internet:

Q. What’s Hillary’s favorite pizza restaurant chain?

A. Little Seizures

Or, what’s her favorite French restaurant?

A. Petit Mal.

I feel somewhat ashamed, but less so since HRC and the MSM is trying to lie in our face, saying she was a bit overheated and presenting her saying “I feel great!” after chilling at Chelsea’s pad.

Of course, the “other” part of this story is how HRC was literally dragged from the event, perhaps as she suffered a seizure (I will defer to MDs, RNs and EMTs on the board) and the media was completely oblivious. If I’m not mistaken, the first indication the about Hillary’s latest incident came from Rick Leventhal of Fox News, who got a text or call from a law enforcement officer who was present (guessing NYPD).

“Official word” from the Clinton camp didn’t come until 90 minutes after she left the event, and if the police source hadn’t tipped Leventhal, there’s a good chance this story would have never gotten out—at least, until bystanders began posting their videos on YouTube.

Between this incident and the “deplorables” comment, HRC has pretty well cooked her own goose. Gotta believe there is some sort of urgent conference call between Dim bigwigs right now, trying to sort through some rather unpalatable options.

Unfortunately, the Dims sold their souls to the Clintons and Obama. If HRC vapor locks in the coming weeks (an increasingly likely possibility), I’m guessing they will elevate Tim Kaine to the top, persuade Elizabeth Warren to join the ticket as VP nominee and pull out all the vote fraud stops to steal the election.

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch. But rest assured, the court stenographers in the Clinton press corps will keep providing cover until the bitter end.

It “just became a real issue” because it is difficult for even the Washington ComPost to ignore Hillary collapsing in the street, particularly when video has been posted on the Internet.

“..I’m guessing they will elevate Tim Kaine to the top, persuade Elizabeth Warren to join the ticket as VP nominee and pull out all the vote fraud stops to steal the election...”

Some great points. I agree that any way you cut it, the Dims will have a raving commie ticket. It is all they are and have now. I am hoping that somehow Hitlery is removed. She is such a filthy criminal and deserves nothing from the American public. She has already taken enough and should be convicted of her crimes and incarcerated. And those who are legal cohorts too. The scoreboard needs to be erased and the RATs defeated.

Election won’t be postponed. Because a candidate is sick doesn’t justify a constitutional crisis.

Pick another candidate and move on. Oh, and hurry up getting them on every state ballot.
