BREAKING: law enf source: Hillary Clinton just left 9/11 ceremony w/medical episode, appeared to faint on way into van, helped by security
@RickLeventhal
“Trump is finished if he doesn’t exploit this issue. There are ways to do it without appearing unsympathetic or uncaring.”
Trump will win, even if he doesn’t exploit Hillary’s health issue. In fact, its become such a huge issue already, there’s little for him to gain by pushing it, and much to lose.
In situations like this, it’s almost better to simply stand back and let the feeding frenzy go on. If Trump were to even mention this incident, it would give the left an opening to turn it around and make him the story.
Now, if Hillary were to have a major health incident on live television, it would be different, but this incident today is already being spun into something insignificant. Trump would do great damage to himself by seizing on it - seeing as how she’s already made a second appearance today, smiling for the cameras.
Nope. It’s going to have to be a major collapse for him to safely comment.
Yes you’re right. And I might add, that bent arm resisted an attempt to pull it around to lend support, almost frozen in place.
It took a few hours for the script to come out. “She took a stumble.” They have to deal with the video. If the video didn’t exist, the incident would not get this much coverage, and a stumble is nothing - see Kerry’s bicycle wreck for comparison.
...”Is this the other video reversed?”...
Looks that way to me.
If she was in a conscious stumble, that arm would have shot around to the front.
If asked all Trump needs to say is I hope she is doing well. No more, no less.
Dan Merica on CNN says the video is of Crooked wobbling into the van.
CNN and Wolfie still saying she “stumbled”...
The Agent on her right side stumbles as she collapses and he has her ENTIRE weight on his left arm..
Sorry to hear that, about your family members.
You could be right about the cause or the results you mentioned.
It’s remarkable how they staged the aftermath with her smiling and walking out her daughters apartment down the street to the van....a picture of health and gladness.......staff and security at great distance.
noteworthy too that in the last couple weeks they make certain she walks with her staff ad security ‘some distance away’ to convince people she can handle walking alone.
We will agree to disagree. This is why the GOP loses elections. No sense of the jugular. The Dems would run with it and win big.
True. And if she was only suffering a fainting spell, that arm would not have acted as if frozen in place. It resisted being pulled around.
Yep. He was not graceful at all!
If this was "just a stumble," CNN would be showing the indicent and telling us to watch her feet as she stumbles. In other words, they would use the video to support the claim.
He doesn’t have to do it today. There will be plenty of opportunities on the campaign trail to talk about the need to see Hillary’s medical records. He has already provided the foundation with his comments about her being weak and lacking stamina. He has also mentioned her scarce appearances on the campaign trail.
Yes, and at the time of happy-stroll, she and her team had no idea of the video catching it all was going to explode across the net world. Bet she’s not so happy-strolling now, is she!
I’ll be spending three days next month with her 24/7 at a retreat we’re all going to in the Mountains. I intend to ask her some very defined questions as she isn’t not incapacitated from communicating. Just has brain fluffs now and then in conversation....she writes many things down now as she forgets what she knows she otherwise knows.
