There’s been a lot of speculation about Hillary’s condition, and “all of the above” is a possible answer. In several threads on the stair photo, however, folks seem to have overlooked the simplest explanation, which is a knee problem. Voice of experience here: I don’t need assistance getting up stairs, but I am often glad for the handrail and do a lot of limping up and down the steps, especially after I’ve been sitting a long time. It gets better once I loosen up.
Even if it’s not a knee problem, her staff can just lie and say it’s something like that, if this becomes more of an issue. I think her health looks bad, but I also think that if it becomes much more of an issue there will be a cloud of lies to make it all seem innocuous to the public. Short of her going into convulsions on the debate stage, it’s hard to see the health issues stopping her, the MSM is too committed to protecting her campaign.
I think she has a balance problem and also she is lugging a great deal of weight up those stairs. But who knows. A 68 year old in decent shape shouldn’t struggle up a set of front porch stairs.
At first glance, I thought her assistants were only steadying her, but looking closer, it appears as if she is holding on tightly and they are more or less dragging her butt up those stairs.
Maybe it’s just an overabundance of caution because she is so accident prone.
So many rumors, no facts. We must forget the fact that she may need to crawl up the stairs by November, it’s irrelevant. Millions will vote for her no matter what. We must pour on the pressure and campaign wisely until she is beaten...
I have knee issues and when I do the clothes I go up and down stairs that have more steps than what I had seen in that picture.
People on here have been considering everything that’s been happening with her that we’ve seen on the campaign trail, like her seizures.
She may have a knee problem, who knows, but wouldn’t one supportive person suffice? The fact that she had one on each side suggests to me that it is more a balance problem. I would love to see the video to see how long this took for her to accomplish. She’s ill, and they won’t tell us a thing about it. It’s none of our business.
The porch is equipped with a hand rail
Seems to be a long time issue....
Fragment from a poem by Sappho (6th century BC):
...my skin once soft is wrinkled now
my hair once black has turned white
My heart has become heavy, my knees that once danced nimbly like fawns cannot carry me
How often I lament these things - but what can be done?
No one who is human can escape old age.
If I had a bad knee I’d be going up stairs at the edge, where I could use the handrail.
She didn’t know, when she started up the stairs, that she was going to have a problem.
