The best thing he can do right now is to wish her good health and a good day.

I really mean that. He needs to watch what he says. He is talking about someone who has been voted "Most Admired" woman 20 times.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump was also in attendance at the memorial ceremony and left the service before it ended.
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/hillary-clinton-leaves-september-11-memorial-ceremony-felt-overheated/

It was hot and humid this morning. Both candidates are reported to wear bullet proof vests when out in crowds. That makes for a lot of discomfort to put up with for what was scheduled to be a 4-hour ceremony. Hillary stuck it out for an hour an a half.

I mean, I'm not enjoying anything, I just think that we should run around pretending that everything is hunky dory, when our candidate had to be dragged to her motorcade off her feet.

The video shows her standing at the curb, perfectly upright, unassisted, waiting for the van door to open. Then, as she proceeds to enter the open van door, she appears to stumble and is helped into the van.

Hillary should have a Press Conference with a Doctor declaring her health and then say Trump needs to release his medical records and tax returns.

If you ask me. Which no one did, I grant you. Lol!

But still, I've hit the mat from heat exhaustion and you DONT stand perfectly well until the car's ready for you!

You can keep tight control until you're to safe space, but if you're in bad shape you will NOT be standing perfectly well and straight.

If it were a REPUKE the media would have little to say.

A guy I used to know insisted media was liberal.
The nuance he didn't get is that the "official" entertainment programs are, indeed, "liberal".

So-called "news" shows are CONservative.
Wish I'd thought of that as soon as he said it. Darn.

Trump should be required to present a proper health report from a proper doctor.

Trump should be questioned about his vaccination tin foil hat.

Trump has stupid approaches to infectious diseases.

Trump has ridiculous diet advice.


The article lays this out nicely.

and a woman reporter just said Hillary should've "made a statement." I don't know, she looked mentally alert and physically fine to me, smiling and waving. Was that her granddaughter she was conversing with?

If he goes too brutal on her, he risks doing something rather unusual and thoroughly unintentional: He could turn her into a sympathetic character. I've been wondering how long it's gonna take before that evolution is approached. Could happen! After all, how much else of this election has been predictable or formulaic? It certainly could happen. Stranger things certainly have.

In faaaaaact... come to think of it, we could actually HELP make it happen. Just start planting that seed here and there. In other blogs, and in other conversations both real and virtual. Hey, why not?

Let's plant some seeds...
