After Shake-Up by Trump, Clinton Camp Keeps Wary Eye on 'Conspiracy Theories' (about her health)

It took just a few hours, after Donald J. Trump announced a major staff shake-up last week, for Hillary Clinton's campaign team to settle on a new buzzword.

"He peddles conspiracy theories," her campaign manager, Robby Mook, said of Mr. Trump on MSNBC.

"We hear rehashed conspiracy theories," he added moments later.

And as Mr. Trump has raised questions about Mrs. Clinton’s health, saying she "lacks the mental and physical stamina" to fight terrorism, Breitbart has amplified those claims. "Bizarre behavior, seizure allegations raise doubts about Hillary Clinton's health," read one headline last week. "Clinton crash," began another, with a video of her briefly stumbling while on stage with Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.

[Snip]

Mrs. Clinton’s aides evidently see an opening to dismiss Mr. Trump, and his more out-there attacks, as simply part of "a well-oiled network of conspiracy peddlers," as one news release put it last week.

A new Vast Right Wing Conspiracy charge from the old Clinton playbook ... alert!

The Witch is getting tired of your Freeper-Birther's baseless comments about her medical condition ... and lay off the groundless claims about the emails ... the Clinton Foundation ... Bubba's trips on the Lolita Express to Fantasy Island ... the speech transcripts ... voter fraud ... Bernie getting gypped out of the nomination ... her alcoholism ... her ties to big business and big labor ... the mysterious deaths of people who have evidence to give in any of these matters ... and all the rest of those old charges.

It’s always a conspiracy theory until it is proved true. Then it’s old news and let’s move on.

CNN HEADLINE NEWS: CLINTON CAMPAIGN INTRODUCES THE LATEST DANCE CRAZE, SWEEPING THE NATION, CALLED “DO THE HILLARY SHAKE!”

[exit82]

This is how you know the target has been hit.

The next two weeks before Labor Day will be brutal for Hillary.

The Dems are becoming increasingly aware that their horse in this race cannot get to the finish line.

There is too much power and money involved.

Big decisions must be made and time is short.

Pass the popcorn.

How is it a conspiracy when we can see the women falling apart before our very eyes?

The conspiracy is the effort or collusion of media elements to try to hide her obvious health issues.

...Hillary has it in the bag.

"Hey Slip, that Hillary dame don't know what she's doin!"

"Yeah, she's incontinent!"

[DaxtonBrown]

I would dismiss all the Hillary bad health claims, IF her campaign schedule didn’t speak volumes. This waddling duck can’t keep up.

[Sooth2222]

She's wearing a winter coat and black pants in August at the beach.

Yeah, right, there is nothing to see here.

And that bustle looks a bit large even for her.

[SatinDoll]

Secret Service Agents have come forward and said that she has Parkinson’s disease.

She has treated her SS details like dirt in the past. Paybacks are a b!tch.

[Gaffer]

That “wary eye” means that anyone caught in a video propping her up, becoming a comment by Trump to again recount concerns about her health DISAPPEARS!

NO flash photography, no standing venues, NO STAIRS, a stool and a pillow always nearby. IF she wins, will we be ruled by a brain in a jar with tubes going in and out?

[browniexyz]

Could this be part of her conversion to the Muslim faith?

[Leep]

Hil-liar-y needs to drop on the deck and flop like a fish.

No need for any theories. She obviously doesn’t have a tenth the stamina of Trump. She has to take at least 3 days a week, her calendar is nearly empty compared to Trump. It’s a proven fact that she had a major brain injury not too long ago. She could never maintain the schedule of being President....she couldn’t even golf. Her presidency would be one run by someone else.

[xzins]

How in the world can hilLIARy’s health be a conspiracy? It is what it appears to be. Any other time we see on old person falling, needing help walking, seized by coughing fits, or contortions or shaking in controllable, then we say to ourselves, “something’s wrong with that old girl”.

A conspiracy charge is silly on its face.

[Mr. K]

They are missing the point.

ANY excuse the Clinton campaign puts out will be run by the media presstitutes.

ANY.THING.AT.ALL.

If they go with “Oh he's just a conspiracy Theory peddler” they will run with that.

If they say “Oh he is just a right wing extremist” they will go with that.

They could say “Oh he's really just an 8th grader working with a Ouija board in the someones basement” they would all run with that.

That is the whole problem - the media will run with whatever story the Clinton campaign wants them to run with.

No questions asked.

[Sooth2222]

"Could this be part of her conversion to the Muslim faith?"

"Depends"...

My guess is she is attempting to hide one or more (probably more) medical appliances.

I'll be surprised if she even shows up for the debates. Excuse will be, "Trump is mean."

If she does, she will be sitting and require a long bathroom break between the debate segments.

[italianquaker]

Surprised the times is reporting on this. They have been so busy with the investigation of Humas journal lol

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

That’s not a “winter coat”.

It’s a cool-down blanket for Secretariat!

[Zakeet]

That's not a "winter coat" ... It's a cool-down blanket for Secretariat!

Actually ... it's neither.
