If she released her actual brain scans there would be no way to fudge about extra holes in her brain that aren't supposed to be there. (I think that the chances that her brain scans are normal is about as close to zero as it is possible to get. So they will be held deep in the same archival vault as Obama's passport records, college applications and SAT scores.)
You are absolutely correct! I've been wondering why the Trump surrogates haven't said that. Trump said he was repeating what had been reported/conjectured about the Con's wife.

Following the conventions, a pattern has emerged from the polling: Donald Trump has taken a commanding lead in all demographics. From the well to poorly educated and even out-performing Romney among women and Hispanics. According polling aggregates the only demographic Hillary is winning is African American single women and White College Males with advanced degrees in Social Sciences.
We spoke to a source who works at Nate Silver's political advocacy group fivethirtyeight.com.
RealTrueNews: "Is it fair to say that Silver is worried?"
538 Source: "In a panic. Our business model is predicated on making liberals feel better about the election. Right now? It's a disaster."
RTN: "So what are you doing?"
538: "Well, we're changing the model for starters. There were a few hours when the server was showing the real projections and while traffic was pretty high, let me tell you, it was a melt-down politically."
RTN: "What do you mean?"
538: "Well, Nate's a liberal. No secret there. When he saw what was happening he flipped out. Had us look for bugs--something gone wrong--looking at the feeds. Of course nothing was wrong. Nothing had changed. Then he got on the phone with his people embedded with Q-Pac and Survey Monkey and PPP and all those guys--"
RTN: "Wait--embedded?"
538: "Huh? Oh, yeah--it's a big social club. The pollsters all work together. We have a Slack-room that's sharing all kinds of results and skews and all that. That's how we keep it all orderly."
RTN: "Orderly?"
538: "Sure--what? You think it's . . . random? Come on. Who do you think pays for the polls? People who want results. You're buying media. It's like ads or . . . I don't know. Like newspaper stories? You pay 30k for a poll of Florida, it says what you want."
RTN: "But what about on election day?"
538: "Oh--we drive it. You set the expectations ahead of time. It's called pre-loading. You'd be surprised how we can fine-tune things. Mass belief is powerful. The problem here is (a) not everyone plays nice. Fox is rogue. Rasumssen was . . . bad. They were doing real polling. Also, there's like a game of chicken. At the start of the cycle we do real polling so that everyone knows how they better buy in. This time . . . Trump just caught us by surprise. The impact was so big--it came on so fast--Hillary just collapsed."
RTN: "What--what happens next?"
538: "I don't know, man. There are a bunch of smaller groups out there doing real polls. I don't know if anyone can keep this under wraps. They had to talk Silver off the edge of the building yesterday. It was bad."
RTN: "He was literally going to throw himself out a window?"
538: "Yeah--he was--well, but we're on the second floor. He was just really pissed. I mean, he got a call from the White House telling him to fix it and shit."
RTN: "Wow."
538: "Wow is right."
Nothing hillary ever releases to the public is real.
“Wow so your results were 55/30 Trump over Hillary.
I have faith and hope that Americans are not so dumb as to vote for a known criminal enterprisethe clintooons.”
You have faith and hope in people who gave us two terms of Obama and Hillary? I hope you do not also believe that fake poll that is obviously invalid just by the sampling methodology alone.

wow is this ever good.
CNN admitting onthe air that the msm trys to help Hillary,just too ood.
GIULIANI: ... I mean, first of all, she lied. She didn't short-circuit. She lied last week when she said the FBI found that she'd hadn't lied. You read Comey's report, he found she lied in about eight different places. So maybe short-circuit is her euphemism for lying.But I don't know, did she short-circuit when she didn't protect the Benghazi compound, when she got 20 requests for more help?
Did she short-circuit during the Benghazi situation when, if we had gotten people there, we might have been able to save Sean Smith and the other CIA gentleman's life.
RADDATZ: Mr. Mayor, as you know, there have been about 13 investigations into the Benghazi.
I -- I want to go back to our poll. ...
How can he turn [Trump] that around? ...
GIULIANI: Well, he can turn it around by doing to Hillary Clinton what the Democrats have been doing to him. He -- he -- he can say hey, did she short-circuit when she reset the relationship with Putin and now Russia is, according to "The New York Times" article today, Russia is in control in Syria?
I mean we turned -- we turned it over to them.
Did she short-circuit when she advocated for the overthrow of Gaddafi and Libya is now an Islamic State stranglehold?
Did she -- did she short-circuit when she said she's going to raise taxes on the middle class?
Well, first of all, she is going to raise taxes on the middle class. I actually think that's the only truthful thing she's said in about three weeks. But...
RADDATZ: Mayor -- Mayor Giuliani, I -- I want to go back to this again and -- and stick with Trump, if we can, because you are on here as a Trump surrogate. ...
GIULIANI: And many reasonable prosecutors have come to the conclusion that they would have brought such a case [referring to Hillary's use of a private server to house and communicate classified information] . I would have brought such a case and I would have won such a case. And I've prosecuted cases like that in my years in the Justice Department.
Hillary Clinton skated because she's running for president. She clearly violated the law.
And now, take Comey's words. She was extremely careless with handling national security information.
You know, if that's written in someone's FBI background report, they don't get a top security clearance?
If she were just an ordinary person, she would be denied a top security clearance because she has proved in her past acts that she is extremely careless in handling national security information.
I don't know, maybe she short-circuited when she wiped out 35,000 emails. ...
RADDATZ: ... Do you believe this election could be rigged?
GIULIANI: I think what he's taking about is the very unfair media coverage that Republicans get. I know all of those of you in the media don't believe this but you really don't treat us the same way.
The allegations by Ms. Smith, a Gold Star mother, about Hillary Clinton lying to her, got about 0.1 of the coverage that the Khan situation got. Hillary's situation in which the FBI, in an extraordinary memo, found her to be extremely careless in handling top security information, my goodness, I wouldn't hire a person as an assistant U.S. attorney if that was in their FBI background.
We're going to make her President of the United States?
Nobody raises that. Nobody makes a very big deal about that. That's not on the news for five days, six days.
So I think what Donald Trump is reflecting is -- and I know the media always discounts this because you don't like to get criticized. But you don't treat us the same way that you treat Democrats. Hillary, Bill, Obama, they get the benefit of the doubt.
And I mean if Trump had said something like I'm going to raise taxes on the middle class, it would be all over the news. You would be questioning his sanity.
Rudy did great. I point out that the Trump surrogates have consistently raised the Khan vs. Benghazi mothers point as an example of press bias. That makes the issue about the press, not about Khan.
I also noticed the repeated use of "short circuit." Team Trump has defined the narrative over that term, for now. I would point out that a crooked wire is a common source of short circuits.
They had to talk Silver off the edge of the building yesterday.
He's me, talking Silver off the ledge ...
Jump!
Already had all the advice I need on the poll so go bother someone else that actually cares what you have to say.
Thanks for that Rudy is awesome.
LOl! That was quite a confession there.Thirty grand will buy you anything you want with the pollsters.Love to hear what Pat Cadell has to say about that one.
The press will just eventually drop the story from their repertoire. Maybe we have another Summer of the Shark or something. Allowing the story to exist is a problem for the press. See what Giuliani did with it? Holy cow, "I'd prosecute the case, and I'd win." The press does not want to argue this case, and Hillary is making things worse with her fabricated evidence and twisting of public evidence, that public evidence being Comey's statements.
For sure you have the MO of the press. If it doesn’t help their candidate they drop it and pretend the issues does not exist.
One of the things that has recently crept into my speculation, and it is a shift in my view of how I think the world actually works, is that it is dirt cheap to buy a dishonest act.
Just to put some numbers on it, I used to figure it took maybe 100 grand, or half a million, to buy a position from a Congressman. But recent reports, and stories like this one, make me think that positions and stories can be had for a pittance. The only crooks making the big bucks are the ringleaders, the Clintons, Bushs, Obamas of the world.
And it doesn’t necessarily take cash money either. Dana Perino can be had by inviting her to parties and family outings. $2,000 a month, tops. She’d take a bullet for the team.
I have heard the same stories.
She is consistently rinoesque.
Not that it needs confirmation, but the biggest story out of the DNC Wikileaks hack not covered by the MSM is the direct collusion and cooperation of the DNC with the MSM. Chuck Todd has emails leaked there along with a Politico reporter clearing his stories with the DNC before sending them to his editor.
The MSM really didn't cover the Wikileaks hack of the DNC because they were implicated. Not even Fox has done any real in-depth stories. I guess as out of professional courtesy.
Naw, I’ve just been lurking. Other things on my plate that cannot be ignored.
As for posting awards, you are standing out these past few weeks. Way to go bud. You’re hitting on all fours.
