Comments at Steve Sailer<\/a>:<\/p>\n

* That\u2019s an awful big risk, Steve. The first day (night) she emerges would be on live TV, in front of about 100 million viewers. Anything, like say, repeated coughing fits, sudden jerky movements, having to abruptly leave to go to the bathroom, etc. would be badly interpreted. Couldn\u2019t really spin or explain those things away.<\/p>\n

AND\u2026.if she were to say, fall down or sway back and forth while gripping the podium and its noticeably apparent that she\u2019s having difficulty in maintaing her balance? How would that look in front of the whole world? First day back and she falls down\/<\/p>\n

100 million viewers, and with constant tweeting and facebook posts. On live television. Makes Al Gore\u2019s sighs totally forgettable and those sighs perhaps cost him hundreds of thousands of votes. How many votes would she lose if she fell down? Or coughed for repeated amounts of time? On live television.<\/p>\n

Awfully big risk.<\/p>\n

* The only image for the Clinton campaign worst than her going all syncopal on the debate stage is her going syncopal and Trump rushing to catch her, doing so, lowering her to the ground, and calling for help.<\/p>\n

That is the election right there, folks, if that happens.<\/p>\n

* Contrast Hillary\u2019s schedule with Trump\u2019s:<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.donaldjtrump.com\/schedule<\/p>\n

Five events in five states in the next three days. How does a 70 year old man maintain that kind of energy?<\/p>\n

* Melania.<\/p>\n

When the woman who crawls into bed with you is 24 years your junior and an ex-model \u2026 it\u2019s gotta help.<\/p>\n

* No tobacco or alcohol products. Also, he\u2019s used to the stress of running his own business. He\u2019s known to work up to 16-18hrs per day. He only sleeps about 4-5hrs per night.<\/p>\n

* That\u2019s nothing. Hillary schmoozed at eight Hamptons mansions, feted by four senescent rock stars, in three days.<\/p>\n

* Thomas Wictor wrote in his blog<\/a> on August 8 that he could see she wore a defibrillator under her clothes.<\/p>\n

Go to the last item of that post for the pictures.<\/p>\n

Wictor claims this is why she wears the clothing she wears \u2013 to hide it.<\/p>\n

Hillary Clinton\u2019s vest uses the anteroposterior placement of the pads. The posterior pad is in her right infrascapular region.<\/p>\n

\"defibrillator_vest-1\"<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

* Whatever happend to left-wing critiques of television? I remember in the 80s, people on the left were always talking about the pernicious influence of television. There were books like Neal Postman\u2019s Amusing Ourselves to Death, a fairly influential book when it came out in 1985. Then there were all the \u201cKill Your Television\u201d bumper-stickers, and the endless critiques of \u201cIf it bleeds, it leads\u201d local news broadcasts. Even Don Henley got in on it with his song Dirty Laundry.<\/p>\n

But nowadays, polite, middle-brow liberal opinion seems to think that TV is just swell. NPR, Slate, Huffington, etc. are always going on about the latest shows \u2013 Game of Thrones, Mad Men, etc. Tuning into Dallas every week, and caring about the character arc of JR Ewing made you a square and a philistine, but binge-watching Mad Men, and caring about the character arc of Don Draper makes you a hip sophisticate.<\/p>\n

Now that TV reflects their opinions 24\/7, liberals just love TV, and any notion that it might be a corrosive influence on society has been seemingly discarded.<\/p>\n

* Look here\u2019s the thing if anyone else say your family member or friend collapsed in front of you the way Hillary did, you\u2019d call 911 and have them taken to a ER, you would not take them home.<\/p>\n

Hillary didn\u2019t do this, they threw her in her medi-ride van like a sack of potatoes and disappeared for two hours. Guess what they told the press they were not allowed to follow. Excuse me, when the f**k does a private individual get off telling the press it can\u2019t cover them?<\/p>\n

They can\u2019t, but the press is so docile they\u2019ll do whatever Hillary tells them to do.<\/p>\n

That said, any doctor or nurse worth their salt would freak if their saw their patient collapse like Hillary and call 911. This is medicine gone bad, very bad.<\/p>\n

BTW reviewing the video, I think she had a seizure. Initially she looked stiff as a board then collapsed.<\/p>\n

* Hillary most likely has Binswanger\u2019s Disease, a progressive degeneration of the white myelinated matter that surrounds the cerebral cortex. This is usually caused by multiple hemorragic strokes to the tiny blood vessels of that area. Hillary\u2019s symptoms of impaired coordination, gait, fixed pupils and sudden freezes of her musculature fit Binswanger\u2019s Disease to a T. Usually, it is caused by chronic high blood pressure due to consistently being angry, or due to amphetamine abuse \u2013 which increases sytolic blood pressure by being sympathomimetics.<\/p>\n

It is pretty obvious that Hillary, being a ruthlessly ambitious woman who has endured a great deal of frustration in her life, such as having to put up with Bill\u2019s cheating and losing the nomination to Obama simply because he is black, has severely affected her health.<\/p>\n

The interesting thing about BD is that it does not affect general intelligence, as the grey matter of the frontal lobes is not affected, and is very well-nourished by it\u2019s own supply of blood. However, several areas of the brain are affected, as well as the ability to integrate information wit emotion, which is one of the functions of white matter. People with BD have their logical and abstract thinking unaffected, but they become more erratic, less emotive but at the same time more impulsive, with poor judgement and with decreased ability to put their own emotions in context.<\/p>\n

Hillary is still relatively young to be suffering from Alzheimer\u2019s. Besides, her reasoning skills and memory do not fit the diagnosis of someone with dementia. Her symptoms are mostly motor, which indicated compromised functioning of her myelinated nerves.<\/p>\n

* The best issue for Trump is crime. He should be accusing Hillary of siding with criminals over the police and put her in the no-win situation of endorsing or disavowing BLM.<\/p>\n

* Clearly, Hillary is part of that Dying White Majority.<\/p>\n

* The fact of the matter is, the video clearly shows she didn\u2019t \u201cstumble.\u201d She completely lost her ability to walk or stand. Her legs turned to jello, and she was dragged into the van like a rag doll.<\/p>\n

The more news organizations attempt to redraw what can be watched over and over on a video, the less confidence the public will have in that new organization\u2019s favored candidate. If any news organization is undermining national security with it\u2019s draconian politics, it\u2019s CNN.<\/p>\n

They say families in denial self-destruct. The same goes for political parties.<\/p>\n

* His superpower is that he transforms the adulation he gets in his rallies into something akin to the fountain of youth- so powerful that it defies death and sickness. It\u2019s a positive feedback loop really. The crowds are invigorated by Trump\u2019s violation of taboos and they unwittingly provide him with a weird energy that enables him to keep going. Like Dracula thriving on his victims\u2019 blood, so Trump thrives on his followers\u2019 adulation.
\nIt\u2019s like we\u2019re witnessing something supernatural when I\u2019m wearing my tinfoil hat. But I\u2019ve always believed he is the incarnation of the mythical Trickster, like Bugs Bunny and Satan.
\nHillary lacks this power. Poor woman, her body is betraying her just when the prize is in sight.<\/p>\n

* But it\u2019s still completely hilarious to watch the media sputter and grope for an angle where Hillary somehow doesn\u2019t look worse than Nixon with the obvious, repeated lies about critical points of contention. And after every new round of shoveling her shit, something even more dramatic happens to blow up the house of cards they just built. At this rate, she\u2019ll die of a brain hemorrhage live in front of 100 million people during the first debate.<\/p>\n

* What\u2019s intriguing is the rumor floated by David Schuster that the DNC was looking for options to dump her. Replacing her with someone less ill and more charismatic (assuming you can get both) is still a risky move at this stage. Trying to replace her and failing would be a disaster for the Dems. I\u2019m guessing they\u2019ll sit tight and sweat it out, but if Hillary is elected it\u2019ll be in spite of herself.<\/p>\n

* Trump is staying pretty quiet about her health, not hammering it. So it wouldn\u2019t be him raising expectations of her falling apart at the debates. But you\u2019re right, anything short of Hillary projectile vomiting blood will be perceived as debunking health-related conspiracy theories by the MSM.<\/p>\n

* Haven\u2019t we seen DT dissolve into uncontrollable coughing fits many times? Wasn\u2019t he thrown into a medivan like a sack of potatoes just yesterday? Hasn\u2019t he been wearing funny glasses after his concussion? All of these things are deeply concerning.<\/p>\n

* According to what I\u2019ve been reading, about half her senior staff have been pretty sick too, so their illnesses have been keeping Hillary sick and running down her energy for the past several weeks. Frankly, this is great news for Trump. At Hillary\u2019s age, you don\u2019t recover quickly from pneumonia. She\u2019s got about 8 weeks before the election. She cannot afford to be down for the count at this time period, along with much of her campaign staff, because we\u2019re heading into the final sprint. In military terms, you can\u2019t lose your general and officer corps if you want to win the battle.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s fitting that a set of people who thought nothing encouraging mass emigration of unaccompanied children from Central and South America, bringing diseases like Enterovirus 68 into the American population, should themselves be flattened by disease. They need to face the reality of why you don\u2019t want the Third World here.<\/p>\n

* Team Trump can\u2019t figure out why The Donald insists on doing wind sprints the exact distance of the podiums as part of \u201cpre-debate prep\u201d but he says that it\u2019ll all be worth it.<\/p>\n

* Spin, spin, spin. On front page of NYTimes, it says right now \u201cHillary Loses Balance at 9\/11 Memorial\u201d. Not \u201cLoses Consciousness\u201d but \u201cLoses Balance\u201d \u2013 you see the poor woman just stumbled a bit (right before her handlers heaved her into the medivan like a sack of potatoes).<\/p>\n

And then it says \u201cWatching, and Wincing , as Hillary Stumbles\u201d. Again, she just stumbled -maybe her heel got caught on a imperfection in the pavement (right before her handlers heaved her into the medivan like a sack of potatoes). I\u2019m sure if it was Trump who stumbled, the reported would have winced in exactly the same way (right before she started cheering).<\/p>\n

And then more good news \u2013 \u201cClinton to Offer More Detailed Information on Medical History\u201d. However, a spokesman said the records would show \u201cno other undisclosed condition.\u201d Nothing to see here folk, move along.<\/p>\n

Nothing but good news for Hillary today! Any more good news like this and she is undone. Trump may be Scottish and German but the man has the luck of the Irish.<\/p>\n

* So far, I haven\u2019t read a single word from the media about the possibility that Clinton\u2019s pneumonia \u201cdiagnosis\u201d is a lie. The rumor that it\u2019s a lie is everywhere, but the media don\u2019t know nuffin. They\u2019re treating the cover story as Gospel Truth, and won\u2019t even mention alternative possibilities.<\/p>\n

Which means, it\u2019s probably a lie. This explanation seems more consistent with the facts, anyway; no politician in her right mind would touch a child for the cameras if she\u2019d just been diagnosed with pneumonia, never mind enter the same apartment with her 2 year old granddaughter. In fact, no pol would do that if her cover story was going to be pneumonia, meaning, the pneumonia story was fabricated by Clinton hacks after it became apparent they\u2019d need a cover story better than \u201coverheating,\u201d because some ignorant peasant concerned citizen recorded the whole thing with his cell phone camera.<\/p>\n

C-note says this thing unravels on Clinton.<\/p>\n

* My best guess is that the problem behind her pneumonia \u2014 if that\u2019s indeed what it is \u2014 is a chronic one, and isn\u2019t going to go away by taking a few days rest. Once she goes back on the campaign, she\u2019s going to run into the same issue.<\/p>\n

One piece of evidence of this being a chronic and serious condition is that she basically took all of August off \u2014 except, of course, to show up at the homes of friends\/donors who would hardly represent a demanding audience. Why would she reduce her schedule to such events if she were in robust health? If all that near vacation time didn\u2019t enable her to come out vigorous in September, and instead left her in the wasted condition we have seen, then she very likely has a pretty serious thing going on that will flair up as soon as she returns to a genuinely challenging schedule.<\/p>\n

What is her staff going to say when she has still another bout of \u201cpneumonia\u201d? And if she goes missing as she did in August without any explanation, how is that going to be spun in a way that won\u2019t be hugely damaging?<\/p>\n

My guess is that Hillary \u2014 with Bill at her side \u201cencouraging\u201d her \u2014 is in some deep denial about her health. I think she\u2019s just hoping against hope to make it through to the end without a big problem, but that there\u2019s high likelihood she\u2019s going to fall apart before she gets there.<\/p>\n

* Trump has finally found handlers who will protect him from his own worst enemy, himself. He is firing on all cylinders and knows that the election is his if he can just control his mouth, which apparently he can. Watch the polls because once they tip in favor of the Donald, Democrats will be abandoning Hillary like rats off a burning ship.<\/p>\n

* Her staff were strikingly unflustered. They didn\u2019t seem to treat anything that happened to her as a unique crisis, just as another day at the office for them all.<\/p>\n

* If you watch the video a few times ignoring Collapsible Hillary, and instead watching the faces and manners of her handlers, their nonchalance is pretty shocking. They\u2019ve been there; done that, for certain.<\/p>\n

A look inside that back of that van would also likely be fascinating.<\/p>\n

* I thought Wag the Dog was a cynical movie but Hillary thought it was a \u201cHow To\u201d show.<\/p>\n

* I wonder if Bill, Hill, and Chuck Schumer were ever talking and somebody brought up how Imam Gulen had taken over the police in Turkey by controlling the Test Prep business and suddenly it occurred to them that they\u2019d missed out. Instead of undertaking a long march through the institutions by scratching backs, they could have just bought out Kaplan and Princeton Review and ETS and taken over directly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
