After Shake-Up by Trump, Clinton Camp Keeps Wary Eye on 'Conspiracy Theories' (about her health)

It took just a few hours, after Donald J. Trump announced a major staff shake-up last week, for Hillary Clinton's campaign team to settle on a new buzzword.

"He peddles conspiracy theories," her campaign manager, Robby Mook, said of Mr. Trump on MSNBC.

"We hear rehashed conspiracy theories," he added moments later.

And as Mr. Trump has raised questions about Mrs. Clinton’s health, saying she "lacks the mental and physical stamina" to fight terrorism, Breitbart has amplified those claims. "Bizarre behavior, seizure allegations raise doubts about Hillary Clinton's health," read one headline last week. "Clinton crash," began another, with a video of her briefly stumbling while on stage with Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.

Mrs. Clinton’s aides evidently see an opening to dismiss Mr. Trump, and his more out-there attacks, as simply part of "a well-oiled network of conspiracy peddlers," as one news release put it last week.

The video of this incident tells all, added to the film from the opposite angle where the lady reporters jump back when the seizure starts. I think there’s another angle, too, where her eyes clearly are going Jack Elam.

ANY person who sees this will have no doubt about the health of PIAPS. How long before it’s scrubbed from the internet?

She must be a two bagger?.

Curious article. It reports what the Witch’s campaign is saying about her health but does not directly contradict anything Rudy or many articles and posters here have been saying. Looks like the NYT also has its doubts about her health, but is refusing to run any direct reports, much as it tried to soft soap reports about Teddy Kennedy’s terminal brain cancer without actually denying them. Leads me to think the NYT knows those reports are accurate. Sometimes it’s good to post NYT articles.

What DoemonCrap presidential candidate running for office, at this time in the campaign, ever took weekends off?? I first voted in the 1964 election and Johnson, Carter, Slick, and Obola all aggressively campaigned on weekends, even though they thought they were winning.

The really surprising thing is they're carefully reporting what the Witch's campaign is saying, but not evaluating whether it is correct or not. That tells me they know what the campaign is saying is BS, but are covering for the Witch by not saying so. The other surprising thing is the Witch's campaign has not denied the authenticity of the picture showing her fouling her pants, something they would have done if the picture were a fake.

The funniest thing yet about the “conspiracy theories” is that the public and Trump are just going on things her top aides were saying to her and about her on health issues. But what if we find that words like “unwell” and “not feeling great” and “hope you are resting now” are just CODE words Abedin and Blumenthal came up with to indicate levels of donations? HAHAHAHAHA
