Hillary Clinton's Health Is Not a 'Real Issue' Because No Rational Person Would Vote on It
New York Magazine ^ | September 12, 2016 | Eric Levitz

Posted on 09/12/2016 9:38:32 PM PDT by Zakeet

Hillary Clinton is a politician with decades of experience in national government. Donald Trump is a reality star with decades of experience in finding ways to profit off of failed business ventures. Clinton has come to represent America's political Establishment; Trump, middle America’s rage at that Establishment. Clinton is campaigning on a progressive domestic agenda that includes higher taxes on the wealthy, a public health-insurance option, a pathway to citizenship for the undocumented, more environmental and financial regulations, and a promise to appoint Supreme Court justices who will uphold abortion rights. Trump is campaigning largely on white identity politics and his own supernatural "toughness" - but also on tax cuts for the wealthy, the abolition of the Affordable Care Act, mass deportation, a moratorium on financial and environmental regulations, and a promise to appoint Supreme Court justices who will render abortion unconstitutional.

There has rarely, if ever, been such a stark disparity between the two major-party nominees in terms of personal experience, political style, and policy preferences.

If the mission of political journalism is to help voters make well-informed decisions at the ballot box, then reporters shouldn't cast Hillary Clinton's health as one of this campaign's "central debates." Because, unlike so many other debates in this race, it's an argument without stakes.

These elitist newsers believe that arguments from you Deplorables about Hillary's minor health problems are aggressively irrelevant ... it's an argument without stakes ... and they wish you would shut up ... because it's distracting voters from the important issues!

Which is exactly why America needs to elect Trump.

The real issue isn’t Hillary’s health; its her judgment or lack of it.

It goes to her character. The woman simply cannot come clean with the truth even if her life depended on it.

In short, Hillary is unqualified and unfit to serve as President.

At some point, some comedian is going to do some act where he’s a candidate for President and got rabies....and at that point, after everyone has had a good laugh....they will look at the Hillary situation and suggest that these seizures, fake pneumonia reports, and heath conditions are all a joke.

"Hillary Clinton is a politician with decades of experience in national government."

Decades? Please...4 years as Secretary of State, and 8 years as Senator. I refuse to count her 8 years as First Bitch.

I noticed they clearly left out the Beast’s avowal to take on gun owners and the NRA.

Hillary is so experienced she can’t even manage her own campaign.

Sheesh

The leftist media is out in full swing tonight I see. They are so full of it; it makes me wonder if they actually ever use the bathroom.

Well, since the Repubs are “Deplorable” .. I guess that would assume we’re already NOT RATIONAL.

They deny reality and they to spin away and rationalize Hillary’s lies.

That’s the only way they can keep on believing in Hillary.

This NYM piece was meant to be a joke, right? Because no person with a modicum of intelligence would take it seriously.

Hillary bobbing her head is the same in both videos. The old one and the new one from yesterday. What the heck is wrong with her? This is NOT pneumonia!
