Why People Will Keep Asking about Hillary’s Health

 

Hillary Clinton started her Labor Day speech in Cleveland with one of her signature coughing fits.

Sure, it could be an allergic reaction as she claims, but she must also be allergic to the House of Representatives, New York City studios, Des Moines, Phoenix, and every third place she gives a speech. Maybe Huma can carry a backpack full of Claritin-D everywhere the completely healthy 69-year-old gives a speech.

    Probably just a dry throat resulting from having too many press conferences.

    That’s not good.

    She needs to see a doctor. Holy cow.

    Or she may be over-salivating and inhaling carelessly.  We know she can be careless.

    For people who generally agree with left-wing principles but finds Clinton’s lack of integrity to be unsavory, these reports of Hillary’s ill health could move the needle in favor of voting for her instead of the Green Party.  After all, if she’s only got a year separating her from the grave, you’d have Tim Kaine who many would find less objectionable that Hillary Clinton.

    It’s not necessarily something fatal. In fact, it’s probably not. It bothers me that she is not solving this problem somehow. It bothers me that there’s no one in her inner circle who cares enough about her as a person to talk her into seeking medical care. The entire picture is not good. It has gone on for a while, and it is getting worse. If you can’t inspire any other human being to care about you as a person when you are surrounded by and are interacting with thousands of human beings, what does that say about you? And is everyone using her for their own purposes? It doesn’t look like there’s any affection for her anywhere.

    If you worked for CNN, that statement would get you fired.

    She may be talking from her throat and straining her vocal cords. Coughing isn’t helping, then. Speech therapy or voice lessons!

    If the coughing fit is what it takes for her to moderate her tone, to stop shrieking, and to give a speech in a reasonably conversational manner, I’ll take the coughing fit every time over her usual rancid delivery.

    I think it’s odd, since this is known to happen often, that she doesn’t have a drink of water anywhere handy.  Mightn’t that help?

    I think it’s odd too. Why isn’t there water by her side?

    Not every medical condition is treatable.  Some things a person just has to live with.

    If there had been water, I trust that the unbiased media would have mocked her like they did Marco Rubio.

    Good lord. It’s a cough.  People have coughs sometimes, you know.

    The woman is pure evil, but even I’m not going to get bothered by a cough.

    No, Jon. She’s just allergic to people.

    Saying to Hillary “You should…” would likely have only slightly less danger involved than saying the same thing to Kim Jung Un. She is not known for appreciating input involving “You should.”

    I’m thinking the conclusion of War of the Worlds, only where this alien has been simply more resistant than the first group of invaders to earthly bacteria.

    She joked she was allergic to Trump which is unfortunate since she will have to debate him in person. Does that mean one of these prolonged coughing fits will occur at the debates?

    Is she coughing, without covering her mouth, right into that microphone?  Disinfect it right now!

    Beating a dead horse but I remember the press in 1980 trying to make an issue out of the age of the perfectly healthy and robust RR who was riding horses in his free time. She can’t stop coughing, can’t walk up two steps or remember anything about anything and  the press attacks anyone who questions her health as crazy.

    Or bad allergies – she could use something to prevent a dry mouth and have a coke on hand to clear her throat.

    It is debate practice. On the off chance the DNC shills the RNC let be debate moderators ask her a question that is not a complete softball, she has conditioned us all to let her cough for ten minutes and ignore the question.

    You really need to shut up about this, it’s one of the few legitimate reasons to pull her from the race at this late date and insert a Warren or a Biden, both idiots, yes, but both more formidable candidates. Careful what you wish for.

    Shush! This is a big secret on Progressive Democrat websites and in the main stream media. No sign of it anywhere. Please don’t spill the beans to the American people.
