PRESIDENTIAL HEALTH: DO WE KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT OUR CANDIDATES?
AP ^ | July 17, 2016 | LAURAN NEERGAARD

Posted on 07/17/2016 8:27:32 AM PDT by upchuck

The nation is poised to elect one of its oldest presidents, and while age doesn't determine health, it begs the question: How much do we know - and should we know - about how physically fit Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are for the job?...

Trump at 70 would be months older than Ronald Reagan on his election day, and Clinton will have just turned 69.

Age aside, releasing at least some medical information is an election-season ritual.

Clinton has revealed more of this usually intensely private data than Trump. Each had their own doctor write a letter last year attesting they're in excellent health. Clinton's was nearly two pages and included standard lab test results. Trump's was four paragraphs with few details.

The Doctor of Common Sense, E.T. Williams has a great video with commentary on Barry hitting the free weights.

That close before the election would cast the entire thing into chaos, and the outcome would be in doubt.

I could see a massive sympathy vote for Hillary happening, which would give us Goofy as President instead of VP.

Who wears a long sleeve shirt and long pants to the gym? He must have done about 10 reps, just for the camera. And, those look like 5 or 10 lb. weights. Big whoop.

NOW it is an issue?

We still haven’t learned of Obama’s HIV status or his drug addictions. But why then, is it important in THIS election?
This is just another attempt to take Candidate Trump out of contention, and I hope it backfires on the Democrats...


A non-medial person - such as a typical voter - can simply look at the two and make up their own mind who is the fittest.

It's a no-contest...:^)

“Obama is as healthy as a horse.”

A proctologist would probably disagree.......

But the horse is happy

I’m not at all worried about Trump. He’s full of energy and vitality, he seems to thrive on a demanding schedule.

Hillary’s a train wreck. She’s never been fit a day in her life.

I think her coughing may be reflux-induced. No big deal medically, but should be treated.

The worst thing about her coughing is that she COUGHS IN HER HAND. Then she shakes other people’s hands. Ugh. Can’t she use her elbow, sleeve or a tissue??

She is gross and disgusting.

About Trump:

If a man is healthy, there wouldn't be much in his report. He doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, doesn't do drugs.

About hillary:

She drinks and drinks and stumbles and drinks and coughs and drinks and barks and drinks. She's never awake and sober when needed and she has FAT ankles.

I’m sorry, but I do not accept anything from someone who was chosen by Hillary to give this info. I can look at her and know that she is not in top health. I would like to know if she is still taking “naps” early in the day. I would like to know about her alcohol intake. Is Huma going to be sleeping in the Presidential suite with her?

Trump has handled a grueling primary schedule and seems just fine Hillary not so much

Does she ever do more than ONE rally or campaign stop per week? I have been watching politics since I was a teenager (62 in Aug), and I can't ever remember a candidate for President who never seems to be out campaigning. Am I just missing something?
