I am not in the habit of defending Hillary Clinton, but I have slipped down worn stone stairs like that more times than I can count.
Unless you have been to someplace like India, you have no idea how treacherous worn stone stairs can be. The risers can wear away to the point where the whole thing becomes more like a ramp than stairs. On top of that lies a layer of grit, that makes it impossible for a hard leather shoe sole to find purchase.
It is possible to navigate stairs like that with a good shoe that has soft rubber soles and a deep tread pattern. However, in thin leather sandals like Hillary was wearing, you might as well just toboggan down on your belly, because there is no way you’re getting down without falling.
Huma shouldn’t have let her get anywhere near those stairs. Unless of course it was a passive aggressive thing.
THANKS to our President we the people are not quiet any longer. We have seen things before and never said anything AND NOW we are giving it right back and the left is crying foul!
So? She’s fallen down every where in the United States as well. If she’s so ill, she shouldn’t be traveling to countries like India in the first place. Now she’s supposedly fallen in the bathtub and broken her wrist. I doubt it was a flea-bitten motel.
“Unless you have been to someplace like India, you have no idea how treacherous worn stone stairs can be.”
The guys beside her handled it. And having lived in the Philippines & Korea, and having spent lots of time hiking in rocky areas of the West...it isn’t THAT hard. Just as getting in a van isn’t something that makes most people collapse.
Had the media (and Hillary’s campaign) been honest about it, it wouldn’t be an issue for me - provided she hadn’t run for President! But my “gloating” now lies in pointing out the utter hypocrisy of the media that tries desperately to pretend she is in decent health.
Remember - she also falls in places like London, and NYC.
We are not gloating. We are rubbing the media’s nose in their collective refusal to cover genuine and serious issues of a candidate’s health.
