Trump is reacting to the Democrat accusation that Trump was high on cocaine at the 2nd debate. They would also like to have an excuse for Mrs Bill to not have to go through a 90 minute standup again. It gets progressively harder for her to do that. If she does abjure debate #3 Trump will have a big issue and it will revolve in part on her reluctance to be drug tested. I am sure she will be full of L-Dopa which would not be tested for but also on some sort of upper like methamphetamine which will set off sirens. If she has to forgo the meth then there is probably some serious concern that she cannot get through the 90 minutes without some bizarre “Medical Moment.”
I think a male Presidential candidate could possibly get away with not debating. However, the first female candidate who refuses to debate would be perceived as weak. Just think of the commercials and talking points that would come if Hillary skipped on the debate. One talking point would be “ if she is afraid of Trump, how is she going to deal with Putin?”
Man, if she does have Parkinson’s and they are “trimming her sails” with Sinemet AND amphetamine, well that is just a balancing act I would not try in public. She must have one hell of a Dr Feelgood. Anyone with any experience in this knows that it would be very tough. As long as the patient decides “what is enough” it is gonna be too much.
