Hillary Clinton and her health problems.

[Scott Mayers]

In reading an article on him years ago, he does not shake hands. It struck me because as a germanphobe I actually admire that and wish I knew how to do that without looking awkward, but to get back to your point - no he doesn't.

He awkwardly even shook one of the celebrities' hands on his "Apprentice" show I recall. You notice that you said, "germanphobe" right? The spell checker doesn't correct it and why I took that out for being uncertain.

I think a politician might have to be forced to NOT shake hands or have direct contact if only for the potential risks....especially when some will inevitably use this as a tactic to harm others.

I had pneumonia when I was much younger. I couldn't get out of bed for three days, was barely conscious for two of those days, and missed a full week of work because I was just that weak.

Of course it could be, and hopefully she is not suffering from anything serious. Not because I think she is a better candidate than someone who can replace her, but because I truly feel bad for her and her family.

Having said that, I think there are just too many coincidences to believe the official story. It's looking very bad for her at this point.

Even if it turns out to be true, the fact that she was so secretive about it is going to do damage to her campaign.

It would make sense for them not to shake hands but I could've sworn I've seen McCain, Obama and Romney shaking hands with voters and a quick Google search did confirm that.

And good catch, I'm not a germanphobe, lol. I'm on an iPad.

At least she certainly has access to the best possible medical treatment. If her doctor's can't get her well nobody can.

The sickest time I have had in my adult life was when my children were young and entering school. I think there is a lot to say about the Japanese practice of greeting* someone with a bow. I don't blame Trump for being a germaphobe, he hasn't taken it to the extreme like Howard Hughes and live as a recluse.

*similar to a handshake, a bow is often used for saying hello and goodbye. It is also used to thank, apologize, or congratulate. Probably the main difference is a bow also works in a group setting, where a handshake is obviously only one on one.

You are right, she is copying the Trump style of campaigning.

But Trump doesn't have the health issues that's being said about Hillary.

Furthermore, Trump is like Harper. No love lost between him and the press.

No, syncope. While it is difficult to tell much from the video, I doubt if she was having a seizure she would have been slumped on the pylon first.

I've heard that a doctors says she could be having the first signs of Parkinson.

Had he examined her personally?

I don't know. That's what I just heard from someone who saw it online.

She's got strange facial expressions.... video time: 1:37 - when the balloons came down.

One candidate not physically fit and allegedly the other one not mentally fit. Take your pick.

[msj]

She was at 66% yesterday, it's down now to 57%. Earlier today it was 61%.

http://www.cnn.com/specials/politics/predict

When this health thing blows over either she will be back at 70% where she belongs or someone like Joe Biden will be at 75%.

Sadly, Trump ain't going to win so we will not be amused for four years.

[Hal 9000]

Ok, so lets put aside the lies, the litany of scandals, the pay to play, Benghazi, mysterious deaths and all the other things that would make every other politician in the free world ineligible to run a democratic country.

Her health; what we know is this, she won't travel with media. She has her handlers carrying auto injector syringes (and at the ready), she travels with a medical team, Leaked emails show she has been researching Parkinson's medication...also emails on how to deal with confusion, top doctors including doctor Drew are all worried that she has brain damage, Parkinsons or rare types of dementia (which come with bouts of pneumonia). Her medical records show very serious symptoms of something bad or even terminal. She has cancelled more events than she's attended and most that she's attended were small affairs.She has continual coughing fits and periods of weakness that are largely unsatisfactorily explained.

Now, most supporters will write of the medical records as fake, and talk about right leaning doctors who are instilling fear, but c'mon people (Hillary people) have a look for yourselves. This woman has some serious neurological issues - ones that won't be going away, but will progressively worsen - and fast. The Democrats know this and are playing the public for fools. Every one of them from Obama on down know she is terminally ill and are still lying about it. What is gonna happen when the truth eventually comes out - and it will. Are we gonna watch this woman quickly deteriorate in front our eyes or is the plan to have her win (yay! first woman), then get the diagnosis and (wink wink) have to step down. At this rate, she can't last till next summer let alone 4 years.

You people might elect the first woman president, but lets face it, she'll never be able to govern a country.

[DogOnPorch]

And good ol' what's-his-name becomes President.

That's not how it works....it ain't Canada. The succession process presumes that a president will be assassinated before they die of natural causes.

Next "man" up.....

It's democracy in action. Put your freedom to the test. A big fat turd or a stupid douche. Which do you like best!?

But you will agree that she simply cannot govern the United States in the condition she's in - right? So, is the end game one of sympathy; "lets grant her one last wish and vote her in as president"? Are they gonna let it go on for a while and drop her in favour of Biden (what I think they should do), ride it out until Kaine has to take over?

You're always talking about Canadians interest in US politics seemingly thinking we're somehow envious of your country - What the democrats are doing is a fracking joke - and a bad one at that. This is truly embarrassing that they would stump for a woman who is clearly in major distress and should be treating a very real problem.

Neither...but the "grueling" process has a way of winnowing out the pretenders. One really has to want it badly to put up with all the pressure and nonsense, raise money, travel. kissing ugly babies, etc. Some people here forget that Ronald Reagan was elected...twice !

[Bob Macadoo]

.....why not submit an amendment.....>35 and <60 ? Old people can get sick and it affects them differently than the middle aged and that of the young. She walked out of her daughter's rez that afternoon, awake and posing for selfies. Do you all not think; pneumonia +warm morning +heavy fall jacket +9/11 emotion = weak kneed Hillary.

Wait I got it.....that was a double that came out of Chelsea's.....like "Paul is Dead"......she's been replaced by a Hillary look-a-like from Vancouver! Breitbart....hold the presses.

As I have stated before, it doesn't really matter. The United States is far bigger and more robust than any single candidate or president. Just ask JFK or RFK....

She isn't dead yet.....FDR had polio ! The only Canadian angle now is their even more elevated fear that Trump could win.

Was it heat or pneumonia? I'm not sure they got that figured out yet, but then again, they never took her to a hospital which is what they would normally do for a presidential candidate - I would think.

No, they took her somewhere close and private, administered whatever medication she needed, rested, borrowed some shoes and was back to normal - for at least long enough for a photo op.

No, this is a bad reality show! It's a train wreck hitting another train wreck.

Agreed, but the train wreck Clinton is hitting the garbage train wreck Trump. I predict it will smell for 4 years.
