‘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?”

The numbers will tell the story. With Obama’s 2012 win with 59-million votes....you can carve off a minimum of 10-percent of that...maybe 15-percent. All Trump has to do is win at the same level of Romney (57-million) and he has it.

There just isn’t that much charisma or enthusiasm with Hillary. You look at an arena that they rent that should hold 5,000 people, and she has just 1,500 to show up. That wasn’t the deal in 2012 in Obama....he could fill up such an arena.

"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."

Felony clinton is demRAT's "bait-and-switch" candidate. Regardless of the winner, they won't get who or what they thought they voted for.

[ 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. ]

All the toadies around her want to be the ones moving her jaw up and down when she finally strokes out to the point of brain dying and her becoming the world’s most powerful vegetable...

Remember the rats supported a Kenyan born marxist, and rammed obamacare down our throats with not a single republican vote in the middle of the night. I don’t think much makes them nervous..?...

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

If they can push her over the finish line, it won't matter in the least. Not to them, anyway.

In fact, I'll bet they laugh and gloat at how stupid we were to elect her, just like Jonathan Gruber did. The people who engineer her victory will be celebrated as heroes for slipping her past the American voters, will go on to high-paid jobs in academia, write books and get movie deals, yada yada.

We will also be flooded by a wave of Tell-all books about Hussein and we shall know who in the MSM kept all this information from the public.

The striking thing about Hildabeast and the demoncrats versus the GOP and Trump is the demoncrats have party discipline. The GOP doesn’t.

As it should! Nervous Nellies, and every one a traitor to our country. If they were being paid by Hitler’s signing their check it wouldn’t matter to them one iota. After all, they, too, are ‘elites’ and high above the rest of us deplorables and irredeemables.

Nothing says “Presidential” than someone who can’t handle stress or bad news.


Which is why Huma won’t keep her up to date on everything.

He wishes.

Nope. Huma and her bosses will run the country. No one will see Hillary often.

I don’t think “frail” is the word, exactly. She is descending into a maelstrom.

The nation’s vile Leaders in the West are indeed truly committed to #ing things up. If there is indeed a devil, they made a deal.

The “demoncrats” are merely an arm of a much larger entity, even if it can’t be called an organization, pro forma. They are puppets. That’s where we’re at.

They could announce she had a stroke and show pictures of her in a wheelchair looking half dead and she’d still be in the running. People who vote democrat don’t think for themselves.
