Won't anyone mention

Helliary's health issues. After all, wasn't she disabled with a concussion when she was Secretary of State, and had to take a couple of months off. On contrast, because of his age, Bernie has been asked to be checked out by his doctor, and his doctor says that he's fit as a fiddle.
I suppose we can expect to see Helliary's medical report shortly after we see the transcripts.

1. OMG! You'll get a hide as quickly on this one as you will for mentioning Monica and Bill.

Somethings are not appropriate subjects among the Hillary supporters.

2. I didn't post it to any place but here.

I know that they would vote to hide it elsewhere. This is merely a trial balloon.

Other than to point out that Bernie is in incredibly good health and his age/health should not be an issue.

Surely we shouldn't have a presidential candidate who's in poor health, and we know nothing about her.

5. It's a fair question

With CTEs being in the news of late, it's a logical question. Of course a Hillary supporter can call Bernie a m-f'er, and a jury let it stand, but don't be surprised if asking about her health, as a presidential candidate, gets a hide.

I don't see where a Certified Techincal Expert like myself has anything to do with anything here?
Perhaps you can clarify.
Thanks.

11. It has to do with severe concussions

It's called "chronic traumatic encephalopathy" and refers to a degenerative disease in people who have had a severe blow to the head.

It has been in the news lately in regards to football and soccer players who have one or more concussions during their sports careers.

Hillary passed out several years ago from what was reported to be a severe bout of the flu and fell and hit her head. She worked from home for a while, but was hospitalized after a blood clot was found on a follow up visit to the doctor.

The Hillary entourage is on fire and will get anything they can hid.

12. She can't be that badly off if she is keeping to a busy schedule

Still, 69 is no spring chicken, and health questions will come up. Both should have a significantly younger VP, IMO.
