2017 IF Clinton is our Potus!

We live in age of medical miracles. Doctors often can ameliorate all but the most extreme diseases so people can function, at least for a while.
So why should we concern ourselves with Hillary Clinton's relatively minor (most probably) coughing fits? For the most obvious reason: like virtually everything else, she lies about it!
As the age-old legal principle goes, Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus. Her health is yet another example of Clinton's pathological tilt toward dishonesty. Her first response to anything almost always is to prevaricate. On Monday at an event in Cleveland, Ohio, when confronted about her coughing fit, she blamed it on an allergy to Donald Trump. Besides being a mediocre joke at best, it was a reflex, a reach for the untrue response before any other, as if the truth would literally dissolve her in a puddle.
This fear of the truth is likely from childhood, but has morphed through years of political combat into a kind of domestic taqiyya. Hillary, though also obviously not Muslim, observes her version of that Islamic doctrine in which it is permissible, often even required, to lie to the enemy for the good of the cause--the cause, in this case and with regularity, being the maintenance of her power.
Clinton has indeed lived her life in a world of lies, where lying was for all intents and purposes the norm. Imagine the level of dishonesty in her communications with her husband over the years. Was there ever a time they were truly honest with each other? They probably even test out their lies at home, topping each other in their absurdity. Hillary's claim, during her FBI interview, that she thought the (c) for classified in her emails meant alphabetical order is as ludicrous...

I take my original comment back. Simon makes lots of excuses for the slag.
Still, he makes points early in the article. Here’s one replay of a touchdown:
“On Monday at an event in Cleveland, Ohio, when confronted about her coughing fit, she blamed it on an allergy to Donald Trump. Besides being a mediocre joke at best, it was a reflex, a reach for the untrue response before any other, as if the truth would literally dissolve her in a puddle.”
Now, that may not redeem Simon but it’s still a pretty good start.
2017 IF Clinton is our Potus!
Andrew McCarthy says Shrillary’s health is a legitimate issue because she herself used it as an excuse for her email failures during the FBI interview. She blamed her concussion for her inability to recall security training and briefings.

If Hillary’s coughing fits were a recent development, she might be able to get away with the “allergies” excuse. However, there have been numerous incidents over an extended period of time. Also, you have to wonder how often this happens in private, away from the microphones. Hillary has access to the best medical people available. If they were able to get this under control, they certainly would have done so by now. Hillary will not skip the debates. She can’t afford to do that in a tight race. Her team will be on pins and needles the entire time hoping and praying that she makes it through the debate without any obvious difficulty.
Hillary says:
“Doctor, keep me alive so I can take the Oath-of-Office and I ^^will^^ be the first female POTUS. If I collapse/die after that moment, I will have achieved !HISTORY! and my legacy will be sealed”.
It really is that simple. For Hillary (and Obamugabe) it is all about political-LEGACY, not simple politics.
We, as US-CONSTITUTIONAL purists need to walk away from this and consider the Republic that we have and how to keep it (Ben Franklin).
We keep forgetting that politics is about selecting the best person for a job.
There are physical duties required of the President.
The President represents the people of The United States.
Hillary Clinton is a mess.
Do we really want someone representing us who has to take three days off for every day she “works”?
Do we really want someone representing us who has to be helped up stairs?
Do we really want someone representing us who has to stop everything while she spends the next five minutes coughing?
What would the people outside the US think of her and the nation she would represent?
Sorry, she can’t pass the physical and should not be hired.
In a related note, Tony Iommi has contacted the Clinton campaign and offered her $200,000 speaking fee if she would intro the song “Sweet Leaf” on their next tour.
Somewhere in Chappaqua a portrait is becoming prettier and prettier.
Exactly, if she can’t remember anything such that top secret emails are exposed everywhere. Of course we want to know if that situation is over now. And I am not sure it is.
It’s a praise article on doctors. Do you want a list of what doctors are UNABLE to fix in my health? All I’m offered are horrid side effect riddled PILLS that cause more diseases. And denied adequate pain meds to mitigate what they DAMAGED! The idiot who did my left cataract lens put in the wrong strength lens and my world has been a blur out of that eye for 16 yrs and he nicked a nerve doing it and I’ve lived with a eye that burns badly from the time I open it until I go to sleep. Just to repeat it the next day, year in and year out until I die. Another one cost me half my hearing with a not needed procedure he botched. And yes both are still in practice doing still more damage to people as you can’t get rid of bad ones.
I'll be on pins and needles the entire time hoping she has a grand mal seizure.
Hail Seizure!
You owe me a new keyboard! :D
Clinton has been out of sight for weeks. When she finally made an appearance she was gasping and unable to speak.
Rather than explain her ailment she makes feeble jokes and belittle questioners calling them “conspiracy theorists”.
Along with her obvious physical problem she has an equally obvious character problem.
“Clinton has indeed lived her life in a world of lies, where lying was for all intents and purposes the norm.”
Watched the beginning of Morning Joe today. Mika showed a clip of Trump saying something to the effect that he did not bribe the Florida AG. Mika says in a long, intent utterance, “That’s a lie......”.
I just had to laugh. Wonder if they even ever considered calling Hillary out for her lies.
I’m pretty sure Hillary’s handlers gave her that Trump deflection in advance.
