EPTI don't know why you link her lack of press conferences as a suspicious for her health, She still goes out and talks in public, she just hasn't done press conferences for whatever reason.

It is especially relevant given that Huma Abedin said that Hillary has trouble concentrating and remembering issues so will she be able to do the job effectively? Hillary's handlers like Abedin and possibly even people like Kissinger might have more to do with government policy then she will. That then raises the question regarding who are these people and are they good? BTW her personal doctor says she's fine I don't trust that when she has a handler following her around with anti seizure meds and needs help just to walk up a staircase.. Its as believable as Trumps 'doctor' saying Trump is the healthiest man ever to run for president.. | ||

A bunch of psychiatrists tried to diagnose Trump and it got to the point that the APA had to send out a memo basically saying to shut the fuck up unless you've actually treated him. https://www.psychiatry.org/news-room/apa-blogs/apa-blog/2016/08/the-goldwater-rule | ||

It appears donald trump is unfit to lead due to mental illness. Given how useful leaked emails and random non doctor celebrity's testimonies were in determining hilary is sick, I think this evidence is enough to force trump to drop out, right guys? | ||

That said, I'm not convinced it's anything super serious that would prevent her from serving but please stop with pretending you all can just wave it away with "but her doctor said" and "but it's infowars an /r/thedonald" Reagan, and Cheney's doctors said they were in excellent health too. Fine if you think Hillary is the best option we have, but can we not pretend that she's in "excellent health" because her doctor said so? Think Michael Jackson proved you can get doctors to say or do just about anything (like anyone else for enough money). | ||

Doing speeches is a different story she just reads it out and that's that so the message is completely controlled. I doubt Hillary would like to be asked questions about how she received bribes to sell Russian business American uranium reprocessing for example (lol).. Hillary doesn't want to do press conferences since her opponent is doing fine destroying his reputation as is. If you're opponent is hurting himself, the best course of action is to let him. She just needs to be visible enough so people know she's someone you vote for to beat Trump. If people liked Trump, then she would need to get out there and get ahead. But with her being 85% favored right now, putting herself out there does nothing but hurt her chances. Its not fear, its strategy. | ||

You are still not getting it: yes the us played a role, they were the 3rd most important country to the reunification. Which is pretty important considering there were like 180 more countries down the list. But your statement that the US reunified Germany is still stupid, and your refusal to drop it speaks for itself. | ||

If you want to be the president of the United States possibly having brain damage is something people should know about. No? I guess its only fair to make an issue about health records if your target is a Republican: | ||

Releasing health records in the name of transparency, meh, I don't really object to that as a principle, with the caveat that only some health issues are relevant. An STD for example should not matter at all, but yeah, I'd like to know about strokes or heart attacks or cancer or diseases somewhat likely to kill or severely impair the candidate within the next 4 years. I do however think that from that angle, tax returns are just as important (and that is an actually established principle, unlike health records), and thus it becomes a bit silly for Trump supporters to be okay with him failing to release those but harping on wanting Clinton's health records. | ||
