Why Trump campaign will not try to make an issue of the "deplorable" comments or the health episode?

Because if they go on and on about not being racists and xenophobes, that would only put the focus on them. Similar to when LBJ called his opponent a "pig f***er". Let 'em deny it.

Also, if Trump or his campaign make a big issue of Hillary's health "episode", it would only focus attention on Trump's health report and the "strange" doctor that he visited. Something tells me he doesn't want his health to be an issue. But, if he makes Hillary's health an issue, there will be demands for his own medical report.

Also, if he were to go over the line in his questioning of Hillary's health, it could backfire on him in a big way. There could be a major backlash, in my opinion.

And each of them will need to be examined by an independent physician, but not the crazy guy that did Trumps 5-minute examination.

Dehydration is the culprit and they can shut this down right now.

I'm not going to look at the video.

nearly falls it appears and they catch her. It looks pretty awful, especially the near fall. THREE major things stood out for me. Heavy looking clothing in a pretty humid mid-80s day, no hat, no bottle of water. Her people should have been on her with at least, at minimum, ONE of those things. She looked fine and dandy after leaving Chelsea's place. Watch that video.

I think she's fine, but she's older and needs to be careful, secondly, if Trump or his operatives make an issue of her health, and they will, then he needs to release his med records and be seen by someone who's not just a gut doctor who writes up a silly sounding letter that is laughable to real doctors!
