Former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) on Thursday dismissed recent questions about the health of Hillary Clinton and medical treatments the Democratic presidential nominee is receiving.

"I think we ought to recognize that's kind of junk medicine," Gingrich said on "Fox and Friends." "That's not the real deal."

I agree with you. AND - if the Trump campaign and advocates come out too strong on this issue, it will backfire. By soft-pedaling, as Newt did, the media will largely ignore his comments and then be unable to later defend itself and HRC for having “....put those concerns aside long ago....” the next time some legitimate issues comes up about her health.

IMO

Hillary the Pillow Lady seems to have a need for pillows. The article on Drudge was not just funny but implies there is something that is not quite healthy about her.

Then there is her mental health, including obsession with lying. While MSM is outraged about a swimmer telling lies and what a horrible role model he provides, what about all the lies Hillary has told? Where is CNN's outrage?

It’s just that anybody that diagnoses Hillary over the Television sound bites and clips is going to end up a joke.

Yeah, she's just the picture of health...

She had a serious seizure and then tried to make light of it - after scaring the fawning presstitutes.

Hillary: Hail Seizure! Hillary Clinton seizure
"Are you okay?"

She is not well.

Gingrich is 100% correct on this one. Harping on an unknown only looks petty and childish. Like you’re hoping for something to happen.

Let independent voices come out and ask. Don’t drive it from the campaign. Don’t stoop to the level where people consider it dirt or muck; stick with the Presidential attitude like Trump showed with Louisiana.

Very learned men can sometimes be bumbling fools, especially if they’re supremely egotistical. You’ve said what I have thought for a long time. And I really liked Newt once.

Well, Trump could state at the beginning of a debate, “If there are no interruptions...”. But say it repeatedly, throughout! What would the MSM remark about that? ;)

Dr. Drew’s assessment of her treatment was incredibly bad, FWIW.

In Newt’s defense, in answer to a direct question, the other response would be we don’t discuss undocumented health issues.

That answer would draw an identical response of STHU

We sense a significant problem but don’t know what it is

Unmentioned is fear. Mind numbing fear of prosecution by the Trump DOJ would produce sleepless nights and affect all actions.

You are not paranoid if they are really out to get you

Who told Newt to go out and do an interview?

N O B O D Y !

Newt was just being Newt. He did the interview to feed his own ego. He wanted to be seen as a sage.

Instead he came off looking like a witless child.

This guy is hurting our cause. If you care about him, send him a note and tell him to shut the hell up, quit doing interviews.
