‘Head Space’: How Hillary Clinton’s Inner Circle Tiptoes Around Her Health Issues

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 circle around Hillary sounds so much like the one around Hitler.

A bunch of terrified sycophants who witness and cover up daily scenes of insanity.

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

I think Bill will be running the show. It’s what the Dems want anyway. God help us!

The Democrats have never had a problem about electing invalids to the White House. Historically it was their ‘inner circle’ and their conspiracies against their own rank-and-file voters. Now it’s their ghetto-ized voters, each group with it’s hand-out for special favors.
