Hillary's Coughing and the Debates
American Thinker ^ | August 25, 2016 | Bruce Walker

Posted on 08/25/2016 5:47:14 PM PDT by Kaslin

Hillary's flacks maintain that she has no serious health problems, but there is an increasingly public amount of evidence that they are lying. Her coughing fits, for example, have gone on for minutes during interviews and speeches and debates. The leftist establishment media has totally ignored this running story, but there is one venue in which her uncontrollable coughing and hacking cannot be hidden from the American people: the presidential debates.

Because her health seems to getting worse all the time and because she has never appeared in a nationally televised presidential debate (indeed, even her few debates with Bernie Sanders were scheduled to avoid large audiences) the stress of standing before 100 million or so Americans watching her live should make the chances of her descending into minutes of coughing, gagging, and hacking while the world watches very real.

What happens then? Well, consider if she keeps coughing for two or three minutes, as she has several times. It will interrupt whatever point she has been trying to make and focus instead on her inability to speak. A debater affects audiences as much by his demeanor and voice as by what he actually says.

Images matter, as the haggard-looking Nixon proved in the 1960 presidential debates. He looked tired. He looked old. He had five o'clock shadow. Those who heard Nixon and Kennedy on the radio actually thought Nixon won the debate, but those who watched them on television thought Kennedy won.

The last time she spoke at that venue in Reno she spoke at today she barked, now she is coughing...

Has she morphed from a dog to a cat?
Hairball?

Can’t wait to hear Trump’s comment when her coughing fit starts.

She can’t stand for any length of time, can’t walk well and does not breathe easily.

1969 NBA Championship. Wilt Chamberlin ‘injures’ a knee and takes himself out while his team is losing the final game-gave up. Bill Russell claimed he was faking it. “Shoulda’ played even with a broken leg.” In his book Russell said to himself “Don’t take this away from me man.” Trump should do the same if it happens.

I wonder if she has the same thing that I have? I have HX off OA and spinal stenosis. Plus I have no strength whatsoever in my right leg. I have to walk with a cane and when I go in my car I have to lift my leg up to get in my seat. I have no problem driving though

He’ll let her coughing do the talking for him. Best for him to say nothing.

Trump should ask, “Is that a hairball Mrs. Clinton?”

I was originally going to comment that she could certainly get some powerful prescription anti coughing medications. Then I realized that most of these also act like intoxicants - i.e. truth serum. That could make for a quite lively debate.

“there will be no debates”

I tend to agree. If that coughing can’t be controlled, it’s too risky.

Besides, her buddies in big media will provide cover.

She’ll have a deal with the liberal networks that when her handlers say the word the candidates take a break.

Hillary was able to get through a long and continuous speech at the Dem convention. So what’s the deal with the stump speaking where she chokes and coughs? Difference must be drugs, with them and without them?

Are you for real? What an idiot (Bill Russel)

Does anyone have the pic of Hillary with the wet fart Mark on her pink pants suit? I cannot find it and I have a number of people that want to see it.

After Hillary's crazy speech today, I won't be surprised if she pulls some kind of stunt to get out the debates.
