After dismissing calls from the Clinton campaign to release his medical records as “vile and desperate,” Democratic primary candidate Bernie Sanders on Sunday promised to do just that.

“Of course we’re going to release our medical records,” Sanders said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

the same way that Secretary Clinton has gotten her medical records out,” he added. “It is not a problem.”

Clinton surrogate David Brock, founder of the pro-Clinton Correct the Record super-PAC, reportedly planned to call for the 74-year-old Vermont senator to release his medical records.

1. There were no "calls from the Clinton campaign".

The Sanders campaign is getting this feigned outrage act down like a pro.

5. hillary has medical problems. Bernie I think hasn't. Brooks is a scum sucker reverting to his old

anita hill days. He's blowing whatever cred he has gotten back by becoming a pug-style hit man again. But its okay. bernie got 3.1 million in donations in response to these things and probably will top 5 mil shortly. I gave him some myself. Go, Bernie. Brock, just go home.

CHARLESTON, South Carolina – The Hillary Clinton campaign Saturday night publicly rebuked one of its top outside allies after reports that he planned to make an issue of rival Bernie Sanders’ health – reports he now denies. Meanwhile, the Sanders campaign said they would release a letter testifying to his health in coming weeks.

“Chill out,” Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta tweeted at David Brock, who runs several pro-Clinton groups. “We’re fighting on who would make a better President, not on who has a better Physical Fitness Test.” Politico first reported earlier Saturday that Brock was planning to go on TV to call for the 74-year-old Sanders to release his medical records.

6. Podesta probably remembers that hillary has clot problems in her health history and none of them are

confidence making. She should never have gone there.

7. This is just a self-made controversy by the Sanders campaign. Funny how...

....the "vile and desperate" calls are only spoken about by people in the Sanders campaign, but not a single person can come up with what was actually said by the "Clinton campaign".

The excerpt above says it all:

"Clinton surrogate David Brock, founder of the pro-Clinton Correct the Record super-PAC, reportedly planned to call for the 74-year-old Vermont senator to release his medical records."

He "reportedly planned", but he never did it nor has anyone been able to say who was behind the "reported" plan.

This is 2004 all over again.

13. “Of course we’re going to release our medical records,” Sanders said on CNN...

"We"? "Our medical records"?

What's with the use of the royal "we"? Or is he releasing his campaign staff's medical records too?
