More often than I would like to admit, I see something that I dismiss as silly hype and then later it turns out to be a big deal. e.g. The kerfuffle over Hillary’s stumbling on some stairs and speculation that she may not be firing on all synapses.
I don’t really know what to make of this, but then again, I’ve chosen to just spectate this horrid election.
This country has a history of First Ladies effectively running the country for their invalid husbands. Do you think some particularly cynical Democrat bigwigs are banking on Bill quietly stepping in if Hillary gets too ill?
@Sean…
Hillary is already too ill to be President.
Nothing to see here! Pay no attention to that senile, frail, old, doddering Grandma unable to make it up a couple of stairs on her own power!
Oh, and #troopergate has been replaced with #stuporgait!
Hillary blamed getting busted in repeated lies on “short circuiting,” and we all know it ain’t pretty when that happens. Like when she’s navigating stairs, for instance.

Even bigger deal she has a medic with her at all times with an auto injector of diazepam https://voxday.blogspot.com/2016/08/hillarys-handler.html
There’s already been some chatter about another Two-For-One should she proceed to her coronation, though not as intense as it was in 1992 when it was first mentioned by Bubba.
We could very well have a Reverse Wilson situation for at least the next 4 years, come January of 2017. I think the quickest way to shut her up about The Donald’s tax returns would be to have him release his medical records and demand she do the same.
@ RSG: Hopefully there’s nothing concerning mental health issues in his medical records.
Yes, well, any release of his records would presume nothing that would stand out, or could be picked apart by ravenous media types. And I certainly wouldn’t release any records that had evidence of a mental health examination (nor would I advise having one, as long as he’s a candidate).
Matt Drudge seems to have been working this angle (questioning her health) for quite some time, and doing it in a sort of drive-by fashion. Which is not to say the questions shouldn’t be raised, or that they have no merit, but his not-quite-whisper campaign seems to keep getting gifted with photos like this one. People made Reagan’s age a campaign issue, so I think hers is fair game, too.
I’m reminded of the episode of Doctor Who where the Doctor, having seen the British PM commit genocide, warns her that he could “destroy her career with seven words”. He then casually whispers to an aide, “Doesn’t she look a bit tired?”, causing a spiral of rumor and denial about her health that ends with her being ousted from power just as he said. If only it were that easy.
Short circuited = benzo brain.
With her history I am sure she is on the benzodiazepines.
I have my doubts about her honesty to begin with and also about her health. That said, as we look at the alternative, sad to say, this will be the biggest blowout since Reagan beat Mondale. I keep asking, how did this happen? I shudder when I think about the debates. My vote will be an anti-Hillary vote. As for the majority of voters, they do not seem to care about issues other than one; “what’s in it for me?” They channel the Clintons…
i think 2 things, one she is ill from something, and theres the hole in the tongue, but also i think shes med ed up OR drinking. the 2 debates clearly she was on something. I watch body language for fun, and it told me she had something in the drink she kept referring to how good it was and people should try it. Come on i say. You might as well kiss the US goodbye no matter who is elected. Unless you understand the NWO/Zionists you will never know why we are in the spot we are, and then, throw i Obama and his Islamic Agenda.
Benj, if you are thinking that Shrillary will carry 49 states, then I have a bridge to sell you.
Granted, Trump isn’t my favorite choice. But he’s the only logical one. And don’t give me the old “the polls show a big lead” meme. That’s nonsense. Look at the crowds each one is attracting. The media actually have to photoshop Shrillary’s to make them look big! Here’s proof: http://www.infowars.com/media-photoshops-hillary-crowd-to-make-her-audience-look-bigger/
And don’t shudder during the debates. Everyone thought Trump was going to collapse in the crowded GOP field. Please tell me how that turned out. (Jeb! was unavailable for comment.)
No, I’m NOT a Trumpster. I’m a realist. A vote for a third party is a vote for Cankles. Just ask Bush ’41 and Dole. (Ross Perot was unavailable for comment.)
Plus, three months is an eternity in politics. Just ONE major terrorist attack before November, and Trump has it in the bag.

And you refuse the possible opportunity to throw a monkey wrench into the the political establishment by not supporting Trump. Well you know what they say about evil to do nothing is to give it the chance to flourish. You will have allowed a continuation of the ruining of our lives by paving the way for Hillary. Shame on you.
As I have noted before, t’ain’t necessarily so. It all depends on where one lives. My thoroughly red state has not voted for a Democrat as a presidential candidate in 52 years; it is extremely unlikely it will do so this year, particularly given who the candidate of that party is. I can vote for the most obscure candidate and it won’t affect the outcome one whit. (But not voting for either the R or D candidate will make me feel better, and less in need of a shower afterwards.)
Very true. I’m rather amused by all the one-time and current Republicans (and often self-described conservatives) who are wailing and gnashing their teeth about a Hillary landslide in November. It’s only the second week in August and most professional campaign operatives (save for those working this year’s two major campaigns) will readily tell anyone that any professional poll is meaningless until after Labor Day. August is a slow month normally and would be slower without the news provided by the presidential campaign and the Summer Olympics.
The general consensus is that the average voter who each campaign needs to win won’t be paying attention until after the fall routine has set in. The fanboys and fangirls who are touting their particular candidate—and in this year, opposing their least-favorite candidate—aren’t the ones who will be making the difference as to who the next President is. The Donald still has a few weeks to get his personal act together and become a professional candidate and start to mount an effective fall campaign. Possibly assisting him are continuing revelations about Corrupt Granny’s misadventures as Secretary Of State, her health issues, and her shadowy foundation. Add to that the traditional October Surprise, and the most unusual election year in modern history could continue to astound.
