There was another movie, which I will not name for fear of spoiling it for someone who has not yet seen it, that deals, in part, with the moral quandary of what to do when the body double is assassinated while meeting a foreign dignitary.

Imagine their surprise when the double turned out to be suffering from Parkinsons!

I remember taking a humanities class to analyze this film when it was released; not a member of the Top 100 of All Time, but quite well done IIRC. The movie with a similar premise that is much better is Kurosawa's 1980 Kagemusha, but it has little if any connection to the 2016 campaign.

A similar film is the Richard Dreyfuss vehicle “Moon Over Parador”, but the twist is that he is hired to play the part of a South American dictator who has an untimely death, by his minions who don’t want to lose power when the people find out the strongman is toes up.

It's been done several times.

Moon over Parador.

"The Mad King" by Edgar Rice Burroughs. (1926)

"Prisoner of Zenda"

"The Man in the Iron Mask."

"The Prince and the Pauper."

And countless others.

It is obvious that the author did not take a close look at the photo’s of Hillary’s double on 9/11 presented as being at Chelsea’s appartment.

The woman in those photo’s was NOT Hillary. Period. No further discussion. I personally doubt they were Teresa either.

And the Hillary campaign lied bald face and stated the photo’s (source unknown) were Hillary.

Since then Teresa has tried to back away from this as if the photos were made up before hand on a previous visit. (note clothes were the same.)

It is all more ComDem Lies.

The film was an obvious swipe at Bill Clinton, whose reputation as a womanizer followed him to the White House. Even though the film was made years before Monica Lewinsky worked as an intern at the White House, Clinton's reputation for cheating was well known. He was an Arkansas legend. In the film, Bill Mitchell's wife hates him, for obvious reasons.

I do not think Dave was a swipe at Bill Clinton at all. The film is primarily a modern update of The Prisoner of Zenda. In Zenda, the King has not yet been coronated when he is kidnapped. Two of his loyal retainers recruit a look-alike distant cousin - Rudolph Rassendyll- to impersonate the King. He meets Flavia, the King's betrothed. She is at first cold to Rassendyll because she has met her intended husband the king and finds him to be a drunken jerk. However, Rassendyll is more charming than the King, and is smitten with Flavia, and wins her over.

I'm sure the animosity the wife showed the president in Dave is merely an update of the situation in Zenda. The whole point of it is to create a doomed romantic triangle in which some get hurt, but all do their duty in the end.

Why can’t Hillary have a second body double?

Voice print analysis could make you famous.

You can download voice-print spectrum software right here.

What are you waiting for?

Hillary (or the double) spoke when she appeared.

Nail her and be famous, or admit you are grasping at fantasy and don’t really want to know.

It looked staged, down to the little-girl distraction to display HC’s warm human side. The absence of SS is the clincher, unless they knew there were no assassinations scheduled for that day.
