The first week of August was a rough one for Donald Trump's campaign; by coincidence, it was also a busy one for Trump supporters, who see a media coverup protecting Hillary Clinton. Over the weekend, the Trump campaign released a Web ad that mocked Clinton's admission that she "short-circuited" by giving a misleading answer about the investigation into her emails.
"She took a short-circuit in the brain," Trump said at a Saturday night rally. "She's got problems. Honestly, I don't think she's all there."
At the same time, the Drudge Report, WorldNetDaily and a small army of would-be Twitter sleuths tried to build the case that the Democratic nominee for president has serious health issues and only they had noticed. Clinton's age and health had been subject to parody by some conservative media, but the new speculation was completely serious.
None of the evidence, often shared (or sent to reporters) with the hashtag #HillarysHealth, held up. In every case, a Clinton moment that had been captured by the media was reinterpreted and wrenched out of context. The highest-profile #HillarysHealth discovery came at the American Mirror, an obscure conservative news site with what it packaged as a scoop "SHOCK PHOTO" but had been aggregated from Twitter.

This is the deny.
Next will come the delay.
And eventually it will be “old news”.
Classic Flying Monkeys.
Exactly. If/when she collapses, they should be “held accountable” for not having demanded she take care of her failing health first and drop out.
+1.
“Short circuits” are not a sign of good, or even adequate health.
If Trump were exhibiting the same problems, the Washington Post would be trumpeting that he was certainly medically unfit to be POTUS.
To David Weigel, JournOlista:
Wipe your chin. It’s unseemly.
And you thought we forgot about the journOlist.
Silly reporter.
Drudge stated a year ago on Alex Jones’ show that 2016 was the year they were going to go after Drudge with political regulation and possibly making linking stories in itself an issue.
Rush, Hannity, Drudge, Jones and Ailes are all on the chopping block...and they already have taken out one of them....if Hillary wins....
"Any questioning of Hillary's health has to be nipped in the bud! In the bud!"
And eventually it will be old news.
Well, to be fair, the Drudge photo is indeed 6 months old and was taken just after she slipped. I am not saying that she is not sick. I am saying that you cannot distort the facts to make it fit your agenda... IMO.
We know from history, that the media did their best to hide FDR’s health condition. Many didn’t know that he was in a wheelchair.
Of course , back then media events were strictly staged, the cameras weren’t rolling to show FDR in a wheelchair, etc. TV as we know it didn’t exist then.
In retrospect, I have also heard that it was know by insiders by 1944 that FDR was in bad condition, but this was hidden from people. History tells us he died five months after his re-election in 1944.
So, could the same be happening with Hillary now, with the media not reporting bad news they may know about??
With a little help from my friends
I'm in fine shape.
That would be journalism, and that’s not what the Washington Compost does.
“Its something she never low-balled with the American people, never tried to pretend it didnt happen.
Read: She low balled it and lied to the max.
Nobody believes a word be says.
Problem is that the Americans despise Bill Clinton for being a liar.
But the liberals love him for it.
According to the Washington Post, Che Guevara is in ecxellent health too, and his death is just a rumor. Ten years in her grave and the Post will still be pooh-poohing any suggestions Hillary is not at the top of her game.
Clintons’ Flying Monkeys use the term “old news” to refer to negative information which they first denied and then delayed responding to.
Have been doing so since the early 90s.
Not in reference to when one particular photo was taken.
And the comments are non stop and brutal.
Hahaha! The left is talking about junk science?
Oh that’s rich!
THE SKY IS FALLING!!!
