Clinton Dodges the Health Question on Kimmel

Watch the first minute of this clip to see Hillary Clinton use the “liar’s dodge” to avoid Jimmy Kimmel’s direct question “Are you in good health?”

When you ask an honest, healthy person if they are in good health, they say, “Yes.” They might also ask why you are inquiring. They might add some details. But they usually answer the question.

Clinton never answered the question about her health. All she did was mock the Trump supporters who keep bringing it up. Clinton intentionally avoided the question while skillfully making you think she addressed it.

This is similar to Donald Trump’s technique in the first debate, when Megyn Kelly asked him about his sexist comments of the past. To avoid answering the question, Trump cleverly mentioned Rosie O’Donnell and used that witticism to run out the clock and avoid the question entirely.

Clinton used a similar maneuver to avoid answering the question of her wellness. She turned the question into a bigger question about the crazy people who keep questioning her health, and she ran out the clock. Kimmel never got back to his question.

If I hadn’t pointed out that Clinton avoided answering the question, you would misremember that she had answered it. That’s good persuasion. In television shows of this type, the producers always tell the guest in advance what the questions will be. Someone with weapons-grade persuasion skills coached Clinton how to dodge the question while making you think she answered it.

Someone like…Godzilla?

Or they might say, other than it being a little difficult to put my socks on in the morning - I could stand to lose a few pounds - I'm in good health.

You don't say! You mean, like, they gave Hillary an unfair advantage? Television channels would never do that!

Depends on your meaning of the words ‘Good’ and “Health”.
So his question was never fully articulated for Ms. Clinton to process.

[Bullish]

Didn’t she dodge every single question with the oh so helpful hand of Jimmy Kimmel? They both seem to think our national security and top secrets are a frikkin’ joke.

I already hate Hillary’s guts but now I’ve added the little asshat Kimmel to the list too.

Would not watch that drivel on a bet, though there seem to be TV addicts here that do..............

I think she actually hurt herself on that show. The medical issue was introduced to an audience that had mostly never heard of it before.

Sick Hillary

She is confused and exhausted after struggling to walk a mere block. You can see her stagger, wobble and shuffle - when she raises her hand to her face, her doctor swats it away and tries to get her to hide from the camera.

You then see her start to cough while trying to get away from the camera and she begins mumbling to herself. Others get in the act and steer her away from the cameras and towards a waiting limo before she could collapse on camera.

You can see in the top pic that her handlers are alarmed and are trying to surreptitiously get her to 'safety' - a waiting limo or someplace where she can collapse away from the cameras. A place with pillows and cold drinks and where her doctor can examine her privately.

Another finger points off to the right, the guy behind her prepares to catch her right arm as she mumbles to herself and limps away from the camera.

A lot going on in that brief clip. The faces around her look concerned.

The way the doctor swatted Hillary’s hand is something you would do to a child. Hillary’s non-reaction means this was not the first time this action took place.

Dead woman walking. Trump should focus on Kaine instead of Clinton.

[Betty Jane]

I’d like to see someone with a more skills than me, start a pickle jar contest. People video themselves to see if they can open a pickle jar without it “popping”. Anybody could play, not just old ladies.
