What is epilepsy? Epilepsy is a disorder of the brain in which seizures occur repeatedly. A seizure is caused by an abnormal electrical discharge in the brain. This abnormal "short circuit" can cause a change in behavior without your being aware of what is happening. During a seizure you may fall down, stare off into space, or make jerking movements. Some people get a warning, called an aura that tells them when a seizure is about to happen. You cannot control what's happening while the seizure is occurring. If you witness someone having a seizure, see What to Do During a Seizure. I think Hillary let the cat out of the bag when she inadvertently admitted that she suffered a "Short Circuit".
That is not a phrase you use when you are talking about a miscommunication. It's a phrase you use when talking about seizures.
Short circuit is very telling to me, too.
Trump is running with it.
That said, I think her lies about Comey’s results were simply lies. I didn’t see any seizure type behavior in that Chris Wallace clip that I watched.
I didn’t see the whole thing, though, so maybe right before that she had had a frozen, quasi-catatonic state. I don’t know.
