CNN Hosts Doctor Who Hasn't Examined Clinton To Speculate She Could Have Cognitive Impairment From

...this is supposed to be a news show? M$M: what would we do for disinformation without corporate media?



CNN Hosts Doctor Who Hasn't Examined Clinton To Speculate She Could Have Cognitive Impairment From A 2012 Blood Clot

BROOKE BALDWIN (HOST): Let me pivot back to the health records, Dr. Tiffany, and ask you this. As we talked about Hillary Clinton's additional medical records to come out this week, also we're hearing from the Trump camp that we should get some more information on his own health. When people pour through that, what do you expect to learn?

DR. TIFFANY SIZEMORE: One of my concerns, actually, is -- and I want to be very blunt -- pneumonia, which she has now, and what happened in 2012 are two distinctly separate things. However, the medical problems that Hillary had in 2012 are still significant medical problems. Having a blood clot in a vein in your brain is a pretty significant issue, especially when there's been studies out that there's a small subset of people who, when they have this problem, have chronic cognitive and decision-making impairment. So I do think --

BALDWIN: But what about [Donald] Trump? Sorry, I don't know if I spoke --

SIZEMORE: I'm getting there. It's OK.

BALDWIN: OK, OK.

SIZEMORE: I think it's difficult with Trump because we really don't know much, right? I mean, he hasn't been in the forefront. There was no video out there. Do I think that Americans have a right to kind of know the general health of who potentially could be our president to make sure they're going to have a minimum of four-year term, God forbid something acute happen? Sure, I do think that.

and disseminating that diagnosis on cable news, should be grounds for revoking one's medical license. I hope it happens immediately. I would not let this so-called doctor anywhere near me or my loved ones.

He slurs his speech, rambles incoherently, face gets puffy, flies off the deep end easily (bipolar), and basically always looks and sounds as if he's going to pop an artery and keel over.

Hillary has been on the campaign trail for a year and half, and has shown herself to be in top cognitive form, especially in the debates (where you have to think on your feet), sharp and detailed in her answers, probably better than anyone in either party.

She's also been very patient and calm under fire, dealing with the media's ridiculously biased coverage of her.

Trump flies off the handle for even the smallest of slights, classic signs of bipolar disorder, in addition to the fact that he doesn't seem to sleep, up all night tweeting obsessively.
