Hillary's delay in returning from debate breaks may not have been bathroom breaks, but health breaks -- she was having dizzy spells.

OTOH I heard speculation that the delays were to drive home that she was a woman, for the women's vote.

Didn't work in NH though!

And now that the campaign's turned south, she can't be a black. But she can do a black accent.

To heck with the age and health of the candidates. What are they going to do for those on fixed incomes who have to buy insurance at the expense of everything else.

How about ending income tax on social security and pensions? That would ease their burdens quite a bit.

Or getting their drunken sailor spending ways under control?

It can only become an “issue” for a Republican.

Because no MSMer is gonna raise “issues” for Dems.
