Feigning illness to get a sympathy vote is an unworkable strategy for a national politician.
On a very primal instinct basis we all want to believe that our leaders are strong, healthy, and wise. The perceived lack of these characteristics is a disqualifier. This holds true for every direction of the political spectrum.
Hillary is in declining health with severe neurological degeneration of some kind.
Her supporters do not want to believe this. They cannot believe this and still remain her supporters. As long as Hillary avoids collapsing on stage, her supporters must rationalize the situation.
Hillary will enter the "debate" on a cocktail of feel-good drugs that can stabilize her condition for a couple of hours. The observations of poor health must then be dismissed as a "clever ploy to trick her opponent".
But inevitably, the mask will slip.
Of course Hillary's major backers and handlers do not care at all. She would be the perfect sock puppet for them as President. They will continue to say anything they can to rally the "true believers".
No. I disagree.
Feigning ANYTHING is “acceptable” to ALMOST ALL of Hillary’s - dare I say “ALL” of Hillary’s voters and supporters?
Until November 10.
After Nov 10, they don’t care. Won’t care. The DNC and their national press corpse can do ANYTHING after November 10. WILL do ANYTHING needed after Nov 10 to keep the presidency.
But they need Hillary appearing alive until November 9 and 10. Or, better yet, they only need Hillary to be still surviving AFTER an assassination attempt by a deranged white gun-owning male (Trump) supporter.
