Hillary healthy?
Legal Insurrection ^ | March 1, 2014 | Professor William A. Jacobson

Hillary seems like a fighter in the Tenth Round of the match.

Alternative title: Is Hillary sick in the head?

FWIW, I’ve notice Hillary lately having a vacant, sickly appearance. Not enough to have done a post about it, but I noticed.

Alex Pappas at The Daily Caller writes that others have noticed, too. Whispers persist that Hillary won’t run: Health may be worse than disclosed.

"If you listen to the chattering class in Washington, D.C., Hillary Clinton is a virtual certainty for the 2016 Democratic nomination, and the front-runner in the next presidential race.

But in private, rumors persist that the former Secretary of State may not even be capable of making it to Iowa and New Hampshire. Clinton, these skeptics often say, will not run for president again because of health concerns….

Asked about her health on Thursday, Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill said in an email to The Daily Caller: ”To your question, very caring of you to ask. She’s 100%.” …

But the rumors suggesting otherwise date back to the end of 2012, when Clinton’s health made headlines as she finished her term as secretary of state: aides explained then that she developed a stomach virus, hit her head, suffered a concussion and subsequently developed a blood clot in her brain but was being medicated and was expected to recover.

But skeptics say there is much more to the story of her health, which has recently been the subject of increased speculation in Washington.

Because of these rumors, some on the right have been convincing themselves that Hillary is sick and therefore won’t run — a bombshell that would upend the 2016 race.

Roger Stone, the GOP consultant, wrote on Twitter recently that Clinton is “not running for health reasons,” telling followers to “remember you heard it first” from him."

Media Matters, defender of all things Hillary, sees deep conspiracies behind the rumors:

"The phony concussion “rumor” has faded away, so the Caller has made up a new one. And Pappas apparently did the job his employer is looking for – his story got a Drudge Report link, and Caller reporters are paid in part based on traffic. This brand of conservative rumormongering is shoddy, but apparently it pays."

Who knows what the truth is.

I don’t think it’s just a matter of age, or even the medicals. Hillary is just 2 years older than Elizabeth Warren, but they have very different energy.

Warren seems like a fighter in the first round, Hillary a fighter in the tenth round.

Hillary seems tired, someone going through the motions, who is fighting not because she wants to, but because it’s expected of her.

Sounds like she is having mini-strokes.

Right now, with the exception of Joe Biden, there haven’t been any Democrats talking about running in 2016. If Hillary is healthy, nobody will challenge her for the nomination. If, however, we begin hearing about others putting their name out there, it’s a good bet they are doing so because they know Hillary is too ill to run.

TIA.... transient ischemic attacks

They come announced on no schedule and for indeterminate time. We must not have a president with such a problem

Worse, the person may have no memory of the event.

She fell off her barstool.

And then accidentally dropped a six-pack of breakfast on her tongue.

I’ve suspected a small stroke for a while. The sudden need for thick glasses...and the puffiness and weight gain could be from strong medication.

The MSM likes to call what she had "a blood clot". But search "transverse sinus thrombosis"; that's a little more serious.

Beyond observation, the only way to know if she has sustained permanent brain damage is if she releases her medical records (As was the case with Bill Clinton's and Obama's full medical records -- the chances of that happening are absolute zero.)

(The MSM seems to have little interest in brain pathology when it comes to Democrat candidates. Joe Biden had two brain surgeries, often exhibits quite bizarre behavior and there's been no interest as to why that might be the case.)

The fall was faked so she wouldn’t have to testify. Doesn’t matter if she’s truly sick or not, nothing will stop her from running.

If anyone is looking sick these days it is lurch. Talk about death warmed over.

She's a blood clot in the heart of America.

I think she is hiding away trying to “dehydrate” herself from alcohol. Where ever she is I do hope she stays there permanently.

What if the game is to have Hillary run, then if she wins very quickly resign due to health problems. That makes the choice for Vice President suddenly very, very important. Hmmm.

I think this is all wishful thinking. If she is in a hospital bed, they will wheel her up here to NH and she could still win.

What ever happened in 2012, was fake.
She was just delaying her testimony.

Double vision can be a result of a blood clot.
The Democrats will run whoever they think will win.
