Democratic Senator: Old (And Sick) Hillary Can Barely Climb The Podium Steps
Townhall.com ^ | September 14, 2016 | Matt Vespa

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell’s emails were leaked, where it showed his antipathy towards Donald Trump, his feelings that the Benghazi hearings are a witch hunt, and poked fun of Bill Clinton’s infidelity. Guy has more on the latter part, though one exchange between him and Democratic donor Jeffrey Leeds from March of 2015 showed how Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) told Leeds that Clinton was having trouble getting up the steps of the podium for speeches.

Also back in 2015, Leeds & Powell discussed Hillary's health pic.twitter.com/dm4G1WJvus— Lee Fang (@lhfang) September 14, 2016

Hillary’s collapse isn’t the only item that has raised concerns about her health. She’s been treated for blood clots for years, some of them could’ve been life-threatening.

As a result, it raise the question about he health, which are really no longer regarded as conspiracy theories. There are some serious questions after Sunday’s episode, and this campaign hasn’t been given passing grades regarding transparency. The Sunday fall is just a friendly reminder that there were questions about Clinton’s health that pre-dated her presidential run. Many were buried due to media bias, but it’s not so crazy to ask them now, especially when she was whisked away and we didn’t know where she was or what was wrong with her for 90 minutes.

Now, the Clinton campaign claims to have released more records, though it’s more of an update on what we already know about her. There was also a bit of a hiccup when Bill decided to say that she has the flu, not pneumonia; a slip-up that was corrected by the Clinton camp later today. In reality, these new records are probably going to be released at a pace that’s slower than molasses, which is also in keeping with how she’s treated her health condition in the past concerning media inquires (via WaPo):

When it comes to personal health, Hillary Clinton has long opted for intense privacy, dating back to 1998 when she experienced what she later described as her “scariest moment” with a blood clot in her right leg.

At the time, President Bill Clinton’s White House said little about the first lady’s medical emergency, discreetly treated as an outpatient at Bethesda National Naval Medical Center. Hillary Clinton, who told the White House physician then that she was too busy campaigning for Democrats to be admitted to the hospital, later described the incident as “the most significant health scare I’ve ever had.”

Doctors found a second clot in her legs in 2009, a fact not widely known until her Mount Kisco, N.Y., internist released a letter in July 2015 attesting to her good health as she launched a campaign for the Democratic nomination for the presidency.

Clinton’s third blood clot in 2012 — this time in her skull — was too serious to keep under wraps, since she was serving at the time in a high-profile role as President Obama’s secretary of state. She spent several days in New York-Presbyterian/Columbia University hospital, and her husband later said it took her six months to recover.

So, was this collapse an event many, many months in the making? If so, maybe being more transparent would’ve blunted the fallout concerning her secretive nature, though, again, not really going to complain too much concerning news that’s undercuts her presidential ambitions. In the latest Quinnipiac poll released after her Sunday fall, it shows that Trump has cut her lead in half. Let's see how the polls look after voters take into account this medical episode.

Reached for comment today, a staffmember of
the Clinton campaign stated that although
hILLary has been under the weather, she is
still strong and up to the duties of the
presidency.

This photo from last Thursday was provided
to the press as proof there is nothing to
worry about.

They wound up by saing, "She's a real trooper!"

Powell said it made no difference if Obama was a Muslim, and to point it out was "racist."

REALLY?!

My gosh. This man is a disgrace who should not have made the rank of Captain, let alone 4-star.

Here is why it "matters" General:

- Obama has allowed the Muslim Brotherhood to infiltrate our government, and has betrayed his oath to the Constitution. He is a domestic enemy who has put our entire nation in danger

- Obama being a Muslim means that he betrayed our closest and sacred ally, Israel. This also has divine and Biblical implications, which Obama and Colin Powell will have to answer to God for.

- Obama being a Muslim means he has not only allowed, but perpetuated the rape, mutilation, torture, and murder of tens of thousands of Christians

ISIS Kidnaps Christian Sisters, They Rape And Torture Them To Death, Cut Up Their Bodies And Put Them In A Bucket And Then Send Their Parents The Bucket With Their Dead Bodies And A Video Of Them Being Tortured To Death

And as far as Powell calling Trump a "racist", the real racist are Powell and Obama.

That same place and setup with the same character and a doctor has the doctor placing a cobalt blue colored sheet maybe 10” by 12” in front of the fellow’s eyes and the tremors stop. As she moves it away the tremors begin small and increase as the distance increases. Another doctor has discovered that someone with severe tremors, if he can get onto a bicycle and pedal can pedal for a little while and then be tremor free for several hours to a couple of days.
I wish I could find that one again.

The cobalt blue lenses also prevent epileptic seizures that are caused by strobes and the microflicker of fluorescent lights. That bit of data I have experienced directly.

I just read she is wearing blue contact lenses...also wearing blue outfits. Without the contacts and lenses, she must be a basket case. I read there are 5 stages of Parkinson’s. She must be getting up there.

But, what will it take to pay her to step aside? The Clinton’s have profiteered playing every angle. What’s the price to step aside? $500 million....$1 billion?

This is their last big chance.

She’s in the “clinically almost dead -cat bird seat”.

What will the Dems/Soros pay here to step down?

That sum is growing by the day as the election nears!

I wouldn’t go that far as calling Powell a racist, but that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave definitely is without a doubt.

He never should have gotten past O-1 without being kicked out.

Dr. Bardack released no diagnosis on Hillary’s serious loss of motor skills, (obvious to all eyes) because Bardack is not her Parkinson Disease physician.

Not even arthritis is mentioned, or meds for treating it.

Bardack is being used as a general practitioner and a useful idiot, only.

HRC has witheld consent for any tests beyond the routine, at the hands of Bardack, because she has other means of care for her treatment of her underlying condition.

HRC is a shell of herself running in 2008 against Obama.
