Hillary Clinton's Health Is Not a 'Real Issue' Because No Rational Person Would Vote on It
New York Magazine ^ | September 12, 2016 | Eric Levitz

Posted on 09/12/2016 9:38:32 PM PDT by Zakeet

Hillary Clinton is a politician with decades of experience in national government. Donald Trump is a reality star with decades of experience in finding ways to profit off of failed business ventures. Clinton has come to represent America's political Establishment; Trump, middle America’s rage at that Establishment. Clinton is campaigning on a progressive domestic agenda that includes higher taxes on the wealthy, a public health-insurance option, a pathway to citizenship for the undocumented, more environmental and financial regulations, and a promise to appoint Supreme Court justices who will uphold abortion rights. Trump is campaigning largely on white identity politics and his own supernatural "toughness" - but also on tax cuts for the wealthy, the abolition of the Affordable Care Act, mass deportation, a moratorium on financial and environmental regulations, and a promise to appoint Supreme Court justices who will render abortion unconstitutional.

There has rarely, if ever, been such a stark disparity between the two major-party nominees in terms of personal experience, political style, and policy preferences.

[Snip]

If the mission of political journalism is to help voters make well-informed decisions at the ballot box, then reporters shouldn't cast Hillary Clinton's health as one of this campaign's "central debates." Because, unlike so many other debates in this race, it's an argument without stakes.

More proof the left is losing their marbles over Hillary’s failing health. How dare we irrational Deplorables and other Hillary hatemongers make her health an issue.

Same thing they said when they demanded Reagan release his health records.

Yes, but did Reagan have a vajayjay? Then it doesn’t matter.

Eric Levitz, who is apparently a Badly Bearded Lefty retard, needs to brush up on his Scott Adams.

Levitz, who makes decisions from deep inside his little lizard brain, would like the Deplorables to believe that his "thinking" is rational.

Eric - a hint: you're an effing retard who should keep his ignorant mouth shut. :)

You mean,like no rational person would,vote for bill clinton because they thought he was attractive?

Or that no rational person would vote for a candidate because his skin was black?

Or that no rational person would vote for a candidate because they had breasts and a vagina?

Long term epilepsy? Potential loss of mental capacity and death with each incident? Worth consideration when voting.

The left wing media is crapping their pants. It will be interesting to see whom goes through the Depends faster, them or Canckles.

NYC dwellers (commonly mistaken for sewer dwellers) of course, who would cheerfully vote Stalin/Satan if that was the democrat ticket.

It is a foreign country as far as most of America is concerned. "NY Values" was one of the few things Cruz got right.

Looks to me like she was making fun of Disabled People, right after she had the Seizure that is.

Not to the true believers.

The hag is the embodiment of salvation and continuation of the leftist destruction Obutthole has started.

Who cares if she’s brain dead and on life-support for 8 years. She’ll still do as good a job as Obama did!

“Hillary Clinton is a politician with decades of experience in national government.”

And what has she got to show for all those years of government paychecks? Can anyone point to a significant piece of legislation, an important treaty, anything that bears her name that can justify her political existence? I’m still waiting for an answer...
BTW, DJT opened Trump International in Washington today. The 500 people that will be employed there are probably more private sector jobs than Hillary has created in 30 years of government service.

The first thing I would ask this buffoon is to name any accomplishments that Hillary can claim as her own. Name one, just one.
