Abe Lincoln was melancholic. So what.

The lying is more serious. There are so many bad things about Hillary that this is small potatoes. And attacking her on it will alienate many who are prone to depression,,somewhere between 10 and 20 percent of the population.

I would let this just sit out there and let people make up their minds about it.

Although I agree with you, the 10 or 20% of the population who suffers from depression are not running for the most powerful job in the world.Abe Lincoln did not have access to the nuclear football, and if the information isn’t put out people will never be able to make up their minds about it.
