Some of America's greatest leaders in history have had mental health problems and it may have helped in times of crisis, psychiatrists and psychologists said.
Presidents Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy, along with Civil War generals Ulysses S. Grant and William Tecumseh Sherman and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., all struggled with mental health issues, often depression, said Tufts University psychiatry professor Dr. Nassir Ghaemi, who has written about historical figures' psychological issues. He also points to British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and India's Mahatma Gandhi as major historical figures who thrived while having emotional issues.

Enter: AP - the hero-journolist to save the day!
Can't make this up.
(heavily excerpted AP article - read the whole thing - "embrace Hillary, our mentally deranged candidate!")
Hillary hitting the bong. Explains the coughing. Outstanding half-minute video.

And when her husband was lying about sex, the articles about how lying can be a good thing sprung out, seemingly out of nowhere.
Yet, as crazy and disturbed as the media claims DJT to be, HIS ailment somehow doesn’t apply to this Hillary Excusal meme, huh?
Hillary drinks like Grant and is as crazy as Mary Todd Lincoln, vote for her today-AP
Article is written by AP’s Seth Borenstein, a bona-fide environmentalist whacko. Any question who he supports?
Yes, methinks there’s a pattern here...
This looks like it works more in Trump’s favor than Hillary’s. Hillary has neurological problems (seizures, motor difficulties), not mental illness (i.e. schizophrenia, megalomania, psychopathy). I’m not saying Trump has any of those (though psychopathic tendencies are often a component of success in business), but that is what the Left accuses him of, so in that light this article would favor Trump over Hillary.
The advantages of having a mentally ill president certainly didn’t stop George McGovern from dropping Thomas Eagleton as his Veep candidate in 1972, did it?
Now the media is admitting the Hilldabeast is mentally ill. Why else would this new mantra be started?
Australia’s ABC Radio National Late Night Live uber-left host Phillip Adams trotted this segment out last night...

She’s nuts, her health sucks, she’s a boozer...but it’s okay, there’s precedent.
remember when Obama first got elected the media looked at high unemployment and declared that the president had found a new way for parents to spend more time with their kids..?
I find this article is equally disgusting.
Does that help?
They left Hitler and Stalin off the list.
These rabid press folks are really pathetic.
If you can’t hide that she’s nuts, try to create a meme that being nuts may be good.
These guys are pretty funny.
All mental issues are identical?
Yeah, Hitler and Stalin weren’t playing with full decks either. And need I mention Caligula and Nero?
William Tecumseh Sherman can not be considered “great” using any definition, unless you throw in the descriptor “psychopath”.
Is true, great leaders with mental illness (or even barking dog crazy) still have been able to become historical greats....A.Hiter, Mao, Pol Pot, Lenin, Stalin, Chavez, Obama, etc etc the list goes on....no reason why H.Clinton can not also attain similar historical status....you know, remembered for great things...disposed of the American Constitution, started WWIII, responsible for millions of deaths and suffering, etc etc.
Her potential for a spot in the history books is promising.
There must be some evidence in hacked emails that Hellary is a complete wackadoodle being kept from a total psychotic meltdown by an arsenal of prescription and experimental drugs. So the word has gone out to the fifth-column media leftist buttboys and whores to start spin-doctoring the eventual release of those emails.
