There are quite a few revelations from the email hack that hit Colin Powell, some ugly for Trump, some ugly for Hillary. Here’s an interesting one
(Mediaite) In a leaked email, Democratic megadonor Jeffrey Leeds said that a Democratic senator had told him Hillary Clinton had difficulty even climbing a podium when they did a joint event.
Leeds has donated large amounts to Democratic candidates and the Clinton Foundation over the years. In a 2015 email that was leaked after the hack of former Republican Secretary of State Colin Powell‘s email account, he told Powell privately that one of Clinton’s former Senate colleagues was concerned about her health.
“[Democratic Rhode Island Senator] Sheldon Whitehouse, who is a huge Clinton supporter, said they were both giving speeches at the same event a few months back and she could barely climb the podium steps,†Leeds told Powell.
Interestingly, one of the leftist pundits on MSNBC responded to a question on her falling poll numbers by saying that her campaign was limping.

Powell also makes a comment about her not looking good on HDTV, and that she’s working herself to death. And, that she and Bill loathe Obama, who she always calls “that man.”

Rather puts that photo in a different light, wouldn’t you say?
Both Hillary and Trump released “medical records” Wednesday. Trump released the details of his most recent physical to Dr. Oz, for broadcast Thursday. It will supposedly say that he is overweight (shocking) and takes Statin for cholesterol. Several Democrats, such as Harry Reid and David Plouffe, are taking shots at Trump for being fat.
Hillary similarly released only the details of her most recent exam post-collapse.
Dr. Lisa Bardack said she examined Clinton several times this week following her pneumonia diagnosis on Friday and said “the remainder of her complete physical was normal.”
Bardack, Clinton’s personal doctor, said she found a “mild, non-contagious bacterial pneumonia.”
Then why was everyone in her campaign catching it?
The rest of the physical exam “was normal and she is in excellent mental condition,†Bardack said in a letter released to the press. The entire letter is posted below.
Um, she had pneumonia (supposedly): why would she to comment on her mental condition? Regardless, you can bet people (meaning “not the compliant press corps”) will be looking to get pictures of her stumbling and not able to walk stairs. Will it all matter? Well, Trump is rising in the polls and Hillary is falling. What will the next round of big polls be? The big ones will be the battleground states and those that Trump should carry.
Crossed at Right Wing News.
Doesn’t really matter what these “physical exam” results say. We can see things with our own eyes. Trump campaigns almost every day giving speeches, visiting churches, all the usual things a presidential nominee would do.
Hillary takes extended breaks, needs help using stairs, getting into a van and who knows what else. She’s had what look like seizures and if they aren’t, then she looks like a complete idiot at times. She’s frozen up on the podium.
And yes, it is rather strange that her personal doctor had to say that “she is in excellent mental condition.”
I don’t recall anyone even questioning that. This is admission by denial.
FDR had trouble with steps too.
And President Roosevelt, with the willing assistance of the media, took steps to keep evidence of his physical limitations out of the public eye. Al Gore hadn’t yet invented the internet in the thirties and forties.
Donald Trump is 70 years old, but at least appears in very good condition for a man his age; Hillary Clinton is almost 69 years old, and appears to be in poor condition.
A Google search for DNC plans if Hillary drops out returned 2,470,000 hits. You have former DNC officials at least musing about the possibility that she is too infirm to finish the campaign. Even people who support her are getting worried that she can’t finish the race.
I had to laugh at CBS news yesterday.
They had a WOMAN CARDIOLOGIST on to tell us all about the candidates health.
They posted clintons numbers…..
THEY WERE ALL PERFECT NUMBERS….I just rolled my eyes and of course understood fully what a fuking spin job they were doing.
HELL I didnt have perfect numbers when I was 40…….let alone nearly 70 and a drunk.
Trump on the other hand was OBESE and had a 35 percent BMI and should lose weight or he most certainly was going to have a heart attack……
Whereas Hillary had a perfect health blood work up and the fact shes way overweight herself was not even mentioned.
America has fallen so far…so fast…when the press refuses to be the protectors of
ALL
THE
PEOPLE…..
NOT JUST LEFTISTS COMMIE PINKOS.
We see what you did there!
Uh, stumbling, collapsing, buckling, crumpling, caving,…
Here is what I have been able to glean from what the Hillary camp and pictures show:
1. Hillary admitted to having chronic, progressive brain disease. She freely admitted that she can not remember basis duties of her job a State. So, serious brain disease is present.
2. Hillary had a major event in 2012. That event was described as a fall with concussion (explanation for her memory loss, no). We were told that the fall resulted in a clot on the brain. Now we know that she had a cerebral venous thrombosis, the first symptom is most often loss of consciousness and falling. This type of thrombosis does not occur secondary to trauma. For this issue, Hillary takes Coumadin, a very dangerous drug.
3. Hillary has to wear blue glasses. These are not fashionable glasses, they are a treatment. They used to be prescribed for the symptoms of cerebral syphilis. There is always the chance she has this disease due to old Bill. But the likelihood is that they control much of the problems with tremor and gait.
4. Hillary has an unknown amount of paralysis of her legs, especially her right leg. Her gait is wrong and she dropped a metal object from her pants that would go to an appliance and that would likely be present for control of foot drop.
This would also explain her need for excessive help in entering cars and climbing stairs.
5. Her staff says she was dehydrated and does not take in much free water. That may be secondary to inappropriate ADH secretion. This can be secondary to severe brain injury as she experienced 4 years ago. IADH is associated with hyponatremia and if you excessively lower sodium then you get fainting, weakness and sometimes death. The only treatment is modification of water intake.
6. Hillary has had a series of seizures for which she is closely observed by a very large black guy that intervenes and helps her through the events.
7. Pneumonia. A CT scan demonstrated a consolidated pneumonia that was described as non-bacterial. Viral pneumonia is more generalized. What she had and what explains her chronic cough with speaking is aspiration of secretions into her lungs. This is seen with sever brain injury and is caused by paralysis of the throat muscles that control the complicated process of swallowing and breathing. Her cough is not a normal cough and definitely is associated with trying to clear her bronchi.
8. Hillary did not stumble getting into her van on 9/11. She was experiencing a syncopal episode either secondary to her brain disease, secondary to IADH, or even a cardiac arrhythmia.
In sum, Hillary has severe brain injury that adversely affects her abilities. Jeff, mentions FDR (who was a terrible president and made very bad decisions) but FDR had spinal issues secondary to polio, not major problems with cognition that could adversely affect the US. Hillary is very ill and reviewing her treatment protocol would not suggest the best of care from her physician. She is not competent to be head of the US.
SHHHHHHHHHH……we dont want them replacing Hillary…..
They will bring in Bernie and he will wipe the floor with trump.
