Hillary Clinton Tells Jimmy Kimmel Health Rumors Are 'Wacky Strategy' Against Her
Variety ^ | August 22, 2016 | Ted Johnson

Posted on 08/22/2016 9:46:40 PM PDT by Zakeet

Hillary Clinton, appearing on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on Monday, said that rumors that she is in ill health are part of a "wacky strategy" against her.

"Back in October, the National Enquirer said I would be dead in six months. So with every breath I take I feel like I have a new lease on life," Clinton quipped to Kimmel, according to CNN and other reports. "I don't know why they are saying this. I think on the one hand it is part of the wacky strategy - just say all these crazy things and maybe you can get some people to believe you."

Kimmel had Clinton open a can of pickles to show that she was strong.

did she walk out onto the stage or did they just cut to her on the couch after a commercial break, I wonder if there was a full audience in the studio (distracting noises), was it all “pre-taped” and not live?

If people think she has health problems due to wacky theories, it is because those wacky theories are totally based on her odd and strange behaviors recently, amd her clear medical problems of the recent past.

Hardly wacky.

Unfortunately, this whole Health thing makes poor Hillary look like a Victim.

Remember Reagan was said to be too old by the Democrats, they he survived getting Shot and recovered in no time.

Things like this only stick to the Republican.

This is classic Clintonian response.

They ridicule anyone who might bring up Hillary’s health. They mention a tabloid story, which turned out to be false because she is still alive.

They question why anyone is bringing it up, and call them crazy.

But, there is no denial of health problems mentioned here.

Just as Bill Clinton deflected rumors of infidelity going back to his 1992 campaign, by saying he caused pain in his marriage, and that Jennifer Flowers and others told stories because of being paid to speak, questioning their motives, etc. Bill Clinton never actually denied allegations of infidelity. He brought up other subjects instead.

This is exactly what Hillary is doing here. She’s questioning the motives of anyone speculating about any of this, she’s saying it’s crazy to think that way, but she’s not denying anything; she’s not saying she’s in perfect health.

The Patriots ball boys loosened it then pumped air out.

I don’t know about the water heat jars but I hope they provided her with towels to sit on to save the furniture. I’d hate to have her leak all over the place.

That 60 minutes interview with Steve Kroft was classic Clintonian parsing, but few knew it at the time.

Steve Kroft asked him if the rumor that he had a 12-year affair with Gennifer Flowers was true.

Clinton said that that rumor was false. Of course, he did not add that it was really a 12 and a 1/2 year affair.

You're right. Although why wouldn't she just lie? She lies about everything else.

If Hillary were way down in the polls there would be a press conference in which her doctors would describe in extensive detail many serious health problems with Hillary and announcing that she is withdrawing in favor of Joe Biden.

Worrying about age is nothing compared to worrying about serious illness. Admittedly, I think being a female candidate is going to make her health problems an even bigger issue.

She definitely has physical issues. She will lie to your face even with all of the evidence.

It is clear that she is avoiding being in public as much as possible. She is trying to avoid public scrutiny concerning her medical equipment and lack of strength and stamina.

Her winter clothing in 95 degree weather is just too obvious. It’s just like her to hide the truth as with everything else in her life.

Something is going on with her health and I believe the Trump team knows this.

“And quit complaining about her failure to hold a presser ... cause she just did one with Jimmy Kimmel! “

They’ll count it as one, too. No chance of him asking her any serious questions.
