I raised this a couple of days ago: IF she had on a “normal” press conference come out and announced Parkinson’s, I said she might get a big sympathy vote. My wife didn’t buy it (my wife has MS and is familiar with attitudes toward people perceived to have serious disabilities). She said it would be a major turnoff for voters.

They just want the WH - that’s worth another $200 Million.
I’m guessing she’s got 18 months.
First off, I’m sorry to hear you’re wife has MS. We will include her in our prayers, if that’s all right with you.
You’re wife is quite correct - on a personal level. People’s reactions and behaviors toward people with virtually any disability is astounding. I don’t know if it’s ignorance or fear or what.
But I tend to disagree in the political arena, such as with Hillary. I’m willing to bet she would not only get the sympathy vote, but any other candidate would avoid confronting her and appearing to be ‘mean’ or ‘bullying’.
