During a campaign
rally Saturday in New Hampshire, Donald Trump accused rival Hillary Clinton of
being "pumped up" during their last debate, saying they should both
be tested for drugs before the next one.
Trump said, "Athletes,
they make them take a drug test, right. I
think we should take a drug test prior to the debate. Why don't we do that? We
should take a drug test, prior, because I don't know what's going on with her,
but at the beginning of her last debate, she was all pumped up at the
beginning, and at the end it was like, 'Oh, take me down,'" imitating his
opponent.
"She could
barely reach her car.”
After a shocking
video showing her collapse during the 9/11 ceremony emerged, scores of
political pundits and news agencies began to question her stamina and strength
to serve as president.
Drug testing?!? You have to wonder if @HillaryClinton will/should reconsider next debate, given the depths to which this has sunk.
Granny Clinton
emerged from her sick bed today after her “collapse” which forced her to leave a
9/11 memorial event in New York City.
She attended a campaign rally in Greensboro, NC.
After finishing her
speech, the Clinton campaign played James Brown’s classic “I Feel Good” instead of her sickeningly overplayed “Fight Song”.
CNN’s Jake Tapper
noticed the change as well noting, “You can hear the subtle message there from
her campaign.”
Granny’s campaign is in
the dumper. Their message is no longer
theirs to control and they know it.
The AP has deleted a tweet of video of Hillary Clinton after the 9/11 memorial ceremony as we no longer have distribution rights.
The original video,
posted by apparent passer-by Zdenek Gazda, went viral earlier in the day as it
was the only source
of proof of what happened to Clinton.
While the AP may not
have express distribution rights, nothing stops them from tweeting a link to
the amateur video—except maybe bias or an effort to limit the damage to Granny’s
presidential ambitions.
Note the time when
the AP deleted the video—11:46 PM the same day the video was taken.
The video gained real
exposure on Twitter, but first appeared on Gazda’s Facebook timeline at 9:32 AM
ET. Fox News reporter Rick Leventhal
broke the news of Clinton’s ill health on Twitter at 9:37 AM.
As Levanthal’s tweet
circulated members of Clinton’s press pool noticed her absence and speculated
about her whereabouts. At 10:04 AM ET, NBC’s Monica Alba, tweeted that Clinton
had left the event about 30 minutes before, just around the time Gazda first
posted his video to Facebook.
It wasn’t until 11:31
AM ET that the now famous video made its way to Twitter where it was retweeted
over 37,000 times.
Gazda didn’t have an
audience of his own, but other people with bigger numbers of followers
discovered the video and retweeted it. According to Sysomos, one of the first
accounts to give it the biggest bump was @WHPressCorps, which has about 59,000
followers, including plenty of mainstream journalists.
Google searches for
“Hillary Clinton collapsing” spiked after 11 AM ET. Searches for “Hillary Clinton 9/11” also
peaked around that time. The situation
had already spiraled out of the control.
Within 12 hours of the video spiking on social media, cable and broadcast
news, someone pressured persuaded the AP to take the video down.
Desperate to change
the optics for Granny, her handlers decided that James Brown’s “I Feel Good” would be just what the
doctor ordered as she returned to the campaign trail. Mind you she was dressed
in a long-sleeved, thick material pantsuit for a temperature of 86°F in
Greensboro. Hardly a wise decision for
someone who easily gets “overheated”.
She’s got to show
stamina, vigor and endurance every single day from now until Election Day. Her honest and trustworthy ratings are a
dumpster fire for which no counter-strategy can combat the revelations from the
hacked emails of former Secretary of State Colin Powell who noted, “Hillary has
not been covering herself with glory. For good reason she comes across as
sleazy.”
Her health is now a
bona fide concern. Blasting “I Feel Good”
over a gymnasium’s speakers isn’t going to convince anyone. You want to convince me? Do like the “Godfather of Soul”. Get on the good foot and give us your best “Funky
Chicken”.
Oh, and one more
thing…Granny’s people might want to rethink the James Brown connection. The first female nominee for president
shouldn’t be touting an artist who recorded a song titled “It’s A Man’s World.” Hee hee.
UPDATE: The Gazda video is still on Twitter and can easily be found elsewhere on the Internet
including on YouTube™. The man who shot
the video on his iPhone merely wanted to profit from its licensing.
In an interview with
Charlie Rose of Clinton Broadcasting System News, “Bubba” Clinton caught himself. Asked if the wobbliness of his wife in New
York after a 9/11 memorial event was reflective of something more grave, he
drolly answered:
“Well, if it is, it’s
a mystery to me and all of her doctors because frequently—well, not frequently, rarely—but on more than one occasion, over
the last many, many years, the same sort of thing’s happened to her when she
just got severely dehydrated."
The network deceptively edited out “well, not frequently”
from the clip which aired on CBS This
Morning for their evening news segment cutting to a reverse shot of Rose
nodding to
cover up the jump.
Choosing to edit out something that newsworthy brought a
firestorm of criticism for the network forcing them to issue a statement:
The clip in question from former President Clinton’s
interview with Charlie Rose ran in its entirety on CBS THIS
MORNING, CBSNews.com and on CBSN, CBS News’ 24/7 digital streaming
news service. One clip that ran on CBS Evening News was edited purely for time
while on deadline for the live broadcast.
Do go on CBS. Tell me
more about how two, maybe three seconds, were crucial to your deadline.
The network could have employed the magic of the “greenscreen”
superimposing the office window and the little side table seen in the clip to
obliterate Hillary in the background slopped up on the couch in her PJs
drinking plenty of vodka fluids to rehydrate herself.
One thing’s for certain, Bubba got a frying pan upside his
noggin when he got home that night for blabbing the wrong thing.
Granny is supposed to return to the campaign trail
today. With Granny out of the house Bubba
can get back to “dicking bimbos at home.”
You may recall Sen. Marco Rubio’s official Republican
response to The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer’s State of the Union
Address in February 2013 during which he dove for a water bottle
to quench his thirst. The video made
it across the threshold of several news cycles and became fodder for the
Democrat Party and late-night TV mockery.

The worm always has a way of turning.Granny Clinton’s Ministry of Truth is burning
the midnight oil since her “collapse”, but they’re going to need a shitload of
better liars to overcome the alarming optics of her “medical episode”.
Democrat VP nominee Tim Kaine just said, "Hillary's energy level is staggering."
Granny Clinton’s paid
liars just had an epiphany; a whack upside the noggin. Since time in memoriam everyone has learned,
sooner or later, there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed and nothing
concealed that will not be brought out into the open.
The connivance of the
press in keeping grave medical problems secret from the public is nothing
new. Presidents such as Woodrow
Wilson, Franklin
Roosevelt, and John
Kennedy cloaked their infirmities in carefully staged subterfuge.
When Tsongas ran
unsuccessfully for the Democratic nomination the 1992 presidential campaign, he
made an issue of his survival from a form of cancer known as non-Hodgkin’s
lymphoma. But Tsongas and his doctors at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in
Boston, Ronald W. Takvorian and George P. Canellos, repeatedly said he had been
cancer-free when he had not. In so doing, they implied that the cancer was
cured when indeed it was not curable.
[SKIP]
In 1996, after Bob
Dole released all of his health records and challenged the president to do the
same, the White House released 11 pages of letters from doctors summarizing
laboratory tests. President Clinton sat down for a lengthy interview with
Lawrence Altman of the New York Times, who was also a medical doctor.
Bill Clinton told Altman he didn’t
think of the interview as an invasion of privacy. “The public has a right
to know the condition of the president’s health.”
It is not
unjustifiable, given Granny’s very disturbing “medical episode” during the 15th
anniversary of 9/11, for Americans to demand she, her handlers and her
complicit press enablers start telling the truth. A complete record of her health, including
her 2012 “concussion”, is what we are entitled to lest they cede their credibility
to our cynicism and hesitation to accept even so much as a word that comes out
of their mouths.
The Democrats can no
longer sit in their ivory towers snickering their elitist snickers at a “basket
of deplorables”. The jig is up and they know it.
