Although I read Ed Klein’s ‘insider’ books with some skepticism, the information regarding Hillary’s health had the ring of truth about it, not least because of the 9/11 collapse (which reverberated around the nation and the world despite a desperate, determined media blackout) and the obvious visual evidence of a shapeless, haggard, shambling figure who could barely manage 30 minutes on her feet and whose robotic movements only reinforced the notion she was ill. Age, obesity, a long term sedentary lifestyle and the open secret of her heavy drinking and you have a disastrous combination.
What concerns me then and now, however, is the tendency on all sides to forget the precarious state of her health. In our case the euphoria of Trump’s win and the vanquishing - by anyone - of the Clinton slime factory have shortened our memories. The lefties have made some pro forma attempts at claiming a rigged election but their lack of enthusiasm for the job is evident.
That doesn’t stop me from asking: what if she had won? The strain of the campaign would have been exactly the same. Her gilded White House cage would have made a nice convalescent center but someone that poorly, regardless of party or ideology, should have no business making decisions large or small, especially regarding military actions, national defense, terrorism, etc. Obviously the media would have moved heaven and earth to give us a 21st century FDR and wouldn’t have given a thought to her fitness for office. Maybe I’ve got a bit of PTSD after a quarter century of watching her baseness of character but I still have frequent ‘daymares’ about a Hillary presidency, especially the Potemkin variety.
Those who ran her were quite ok with her failing health as President. Sh would have had more “touch of the flu”s than a Soviet Premier. Probably a ValJar like Huma would have been steering for the bosses while Hillary lay like a side of beef somewhere.
It also speaks to the womans ambition. She didnt care if the campaign killed her; she would be king at any cost.
She has the ambition of Richard the third. She would kill her nephews or anyone else who stands in her way to be king if she believes she could escape the consequences.
