‘Head Space’: How Hillary Clinton’s Inner Circle Tiptoes Around Her Health Issues
breitbart.com ^ | http://www.

Posted on 10/24/2016 8:27:59 PM PDT by Helicondelta

Hillary Clinton’s top campaign officials regularly discuss and assess the Democratic presidential candidate’s mental well-being, according to several conversations seen in Wikileaks’ release of campaign chairman John Podesta’s purported email accounts.

Monday’s new batch of emails revealed a new thread, flagged by The American Mirror, showing that Clinton’s state of mind worried Podesta enough to reach out to the campaign’s Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri — presumably because she was face-to-face with Clinton.

Podesta’s message simply says “How bad is her head?” under the subject heading “Any sense of whether and when she wants to talk?”

Podesta’s phrasing here calls to mind a term that the campaign’s inner circle uses several other times in these emails: “head space.” They drop this term in reference to Clinton’s mental focus, her memory for stump speech lines and talking points, or her ability to handle a task.

...

Clinton’s top staffers cite “head space” as a reason to delay or skip interviews with the press. An email thread from August 2015 shows Palmieri suggesting a media strategy for damage control on the investigation into Clinton’s unsecured private email server

The campaign may have made similar calculations in its strategy of pulling Clinton from public events for at least three days before each debate with her Republican rival Donald Trump.

Beyond unscripted events, Clinton’s inner circle expresses concern about her ability to handle bad news or stressful situations.

Podesta himself admonishes Philippe Reines for freaking out about “leaks,” which strikes Palmieri as an accusation against herself or her hires — and the primary objection is that Reines’ concerns will put Clinton in a bad “head space.”

“Do you really think it helps get her in the right head space to tell her she can’t trust anyone she just brought on board?”

And not a single one blabs. Not one.

Yet she — and they — have not the slightest concern about the people who will be hurt or killed as a result of utter indifference to the niceties of safe handling of top secret documents.

She is a state, unto herself. L'etat, c'est moi, literally, precisely. Now, today.

Hillary is a “head case”

After Trump wins, I suspect we will see a parade of rats leaving the Clinton ship like you’ve never seen before...the market will be flooded with “tell-all” books and talking heads. The Clinton Era nightmare will finally be over.

For a while.

Nothing says "Presidential" than someone who can't handle stress or bad news.

Sounds like the language used in George Orwell’s novel 1984. She won’t be able to handle a fast paced crisis which will likely happen in the next 4 years and the crisis will be exacerbated by the US’s weakened position.

Her voters could not possibly care less about that.

And her handlers are confident that — with the assistance of an utterly compliant media — they will be able to spin whatever goes wrong onto the Republicans.

And the Republicans will probably cooperate.

Looks like Obozo is trying hard to bring it on a lot earlier.

The entire RAT party shows a high degree of irresponsibility to promote HRC as their presidential candidate. It only shows their total disregard for the welfare of this country. But then again, the voters get what they deserve.

New Trump campaign ad idea:

When Bill Clinton first ran for president he was out and about at public events, often playing the sax. When Illary’s running for president she’s cancelling public events and drooling into a bib and can’t even walk up a flight of stairs. Why would anyone vote for a frail, ill candidate with known mental issues?

Meanwhile, quotes from her campaign people’s emails play in the background, highlighted and bolded as necessary.

Hillary is a ticking time bomb. It’s only a matter of time before she has another health related meltdown in public.

This is not going away. It will only get worse. I bet this keeps the rats very nervous.

But then again, the voters get what they deserve. Responsible medical doctors, familiar with her case, must at least alert the country about the possibility of getting a president who could be incapable of making strategic decisions where nuclear weapons are committed. Hey MSM, do something right for your country and bring this matter up in the news.

You got that right. I’m looking at Syria as just one of the possible flashpoints.
