This is stupid, the Trump campaign should not get into making specific medical assertions and diagnoses. Raise observable issues, sure, but no one has any business trying to play doctor on TV without all the medical facts. This can backfire big time.
I agree.
Yup, unless this turns out to be true, Trump has “stepped in it” again. This is serious allegation with serious consequences.
My thoughts exactly. Let’s not make fools of ourselves.
I agree. There are too many real issues - nothing gained by supposing Hillary has this or that ailment. IMHO.
Time to cut Pierson loose.
Why do you assume Pierson made “a specific medical diagnosis?”
Yet Trump's always right in the end. It's like he's got inside sources on the inside sources.
“This is stupid”
Not really. Clinton is observably unwell. It’s entirely appropriate to publicly question her ability to handle the rigors of office, given all of the observations that have been made about her physical condition.
It’s also correct for Katrina Pierson to go after her with whatever she’s got, whether it’s off the mark, or not. This is war, and we’ve got to exploit every weakness Clinton has.
I agree.
Maybe she meant to say dysphagia (swallowing difficulties which could contribute to the coughing fits) ? Hillary has enough problems without bringing in the total distraction of being language dysfunctional, which she obviously is not.
Agree. Here is a problem. Dysphasia is a symptom. Not a disease. Symptoms can be minimal, mild, severe. Perhaps an expert in neurology with a focus on speech could conclude from watching tapes of her speaking over the years and conclude she has minimal dysphasia. I don’t know, I am no Neurologist and I certainly have better things to do than watch hours of Hillary.
Once again, my bet is all this health crap is coming out of her own campaign in order to lower the threshold for her people to claim she won the debates because she didn’t have a seizure, fall down, or wet her pants. How many times do we have to get played like this ? Am I the only one who sees a pattern here?
Not productive and looks desperate.
Pussy say what?
You are right, he should run his campaign with dignity like Romney.
Pray America wakes
A couple points. One is that Pierson's remarks were in the nature of "some people say" and "Hillary could clear this up."
The other point agrees with you. Bringing this up, or endorsing it as a medical issue, is nothing but trouble. I don't know if Pierson is deliberately setting this up using her own judgment, knowing she could be a sacrificial goat, or if higher levels of the campaign command and control structure is encouraging her. Either way, she is expendable - they all are, except for the man at the top.
They are using is as a way to get her to a press conference. It’s not a bad strategy.
One has to wonder why she’s afraid of a press conference when she has an absolutely fawning press.
She might be named a prima ballerina with the New York City Ballet and then we'd all have red faces.
You believe this it’s from a blog?
Good thing she only stated a SYMPTOM then, isn’t it. Thanks for your “concern”.
Vote Trump 2016
Lack of factual medical information didn’t stop Clinton’s media lapdogs from diagnosing Trump.
