I was right: President Elect Trump

[Opti]

First, the GOP nominee was an Obama Birther. Now he's a Clinton Deather.

newrepublic.com/article/136189/donald-trumps-extremely-sick-campaign

The 2016 race has taken an increasingly ghoulish and morbid turn as Donald Trump’s campaign has decided to start making allegations about Hillary Clinton’s health. In keeping with the chaotic nature of the campaign, these accusations are internally inconsistent but they all allege that Clinton is too physically fragile to be president.

Yet by focusing on Clinton’s health, Trump is proving the frailty of his own campaign, not just because these desperate arguments are based on lies (although they are) but also because they show that Trump’s retreating from any sort of political debate with Clinton. Indeed, increasingly shrill speculation about Clinton’s health bolster the idea that Trump is already moving beyond politics and is trying to position himself for a post-election role as a media magnate.

If he does launch Trump TV, as many suspect he will, he could easily devote many hours to a ghastly Hillary Clinton Death Watch. Such a program would, like so much of Trump’s campaign, be not about actual politics or policy but simply an exercise in spite. The stirring up of vengeful emotions is Trump’s true métier; it comes easy to him, while thinking about policy or political compromise bores him.

If spitting a lozenge into a glass of water and then drinking the water makes someone unable to get the image out of his mind, I would imagine some folks with kids never changed a diaper or cleaned up kid puke.

Throat lozenge?  Cough drop?

Meh.  Either way she didn't puke in her "class".

It very weird. At that angle, I think it would be very hard to get something as big as a cough lozenge to just drop out of your mouth into a glass. Both videos I've watched have actually freeze framed and then did a look at the glass a second time. I'm starting to get very jaded this election cycle. What did Trump do recently he wants to take attention away from it, so much so, he'd pay for video doctoring?

Could it really be just to get the Trump kids pics off the media cycle?

Sick and dying? That would describe the validity of that posters current spate of commentary.

You know what the worst moment of the campaign was? When Hillary Clinton puked in her class and then took a swig of it to cover it up. Can't unsee that. 

What the worst thing of any campaign (and the most laughed at and easily disproven) was when someone said the Mobile Alabama stadium was full (42,000 people) and just as many were outside wanting to get in. The biggest hunk of louie swallowed there ever was.

this is from an interview today:

"No, I'm talking about general here," Trump said. "By the way -- She says things about me that are horrible. As an example. The single greatest asset I have, according to those that know me is my temperament. But she came up with this Madison Avenue item about his temperament. It is the single greatest asset I have - my temperament."

well, then you are worthless, because your temperament SUCKS ASS.

Further confirmation that Trump surrounds himself with gutless yes men.

Like Chris Christie.

Everyone is afraid to tell him his hair looks like ass and his temperament is worse than a toddlers.

Crap, I might be right. I just found a Colbert sketch.

He's been told about the hair and disagrees. That's his prerogative. His temperament, well he's a narcissist, he's incapable of acknowledging that it is not his number one strength. Selling BS might be it though.

Poor baby waby Trump. I suppose "Crooked Hillary" and "Lyin' Hillary" are Trump terms of endearment.

Four and a half minute severe coughing fit is not right. Plus, in her own words she was disqualified from working at the State Department due to impairment from traumatic brain injury at one point- yet, she was still there?

And of course we know beyond any doubt whatsoever that she's an undicted felon- having broken at the least, the Espionage Act, and committed obstruction of justice and perjury.

But you know....

my wife has severe allergies.  it is not unusual for her to cough like this.

Lying Crooked (sick and dying) Hillary is officially in free fall. Her campaign has collapsed. There's ZERO interest in her as a candidate, her events can't draw flies, she lacks the stamina to make it through the perfunctory thank you to so and so's and never does really get going. And her staff- and her own running mate can't even find it within themselves to rescue her from what end up being several horrific episodes. And the dishonest Democratic media propaganda machine is discovering the down side of manufacturing double digit leads for Hillary-- the apparent "swing" in the polls is YUGE, and the perception it creates is one they'd tried to create in the opposite direction. Trump's up everywhere. In Ohio-- 10 point swing as Trump pulls away. It's Hillary by two points in VA, two points in PA, down two points in FL (a 7 point swing if you believed she was ever up by 5 points). They can't keep all the balls in the air on these phony polls- and we're still not addressing the monster vote...



Stick a fork in her. She's done.

Coughing is just coughing. I have sinus issues and certain times of the year I could have coughing fits like that too if I had to do speeches. Big deal. Not.

I love how the middle pic in your montage isn't even current. I could show the health of Trump by showcasing all his fast food meals, but eh, so what.

Polls change, duh. I understand though that Trump is actually funding polling to manufacture his own results? Tracking the real ebb and flow too hard I guess? There is no monster vote. The math and the assumptions are horrifically wrong and misguided.

You've made a claim I have to stop you on: backup the assertion that Trump is funding one of the major 'reputable' polls- e.g. one included in the RCP average- to get the results he wants.

The bill had to add and remove so much stuff to finally get past the GOP (and the big insurance companies) that the final frankenbill was just a 'first stab.' Of course there are issues with it.

We can try for a 'second stab' to improve it or we can scrap the whole thing and go back to the sorry ass state of affairs we had prior to the ACA.

100% False.  The only Republican amendments passed were for technical errors in writing the bill.  Absolutely no Replican ideas or methods were incorporated into the bill, and not one Republican Amendment received a vote from a Democrat.

except for the fact that it was a GOP idea to start with, you are correct.

bonus points for Replican.  somewhere between Replica and Reptilian.

Right-wing media has been endlessly dissecting every cough from Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. So it was only a matter of time before this happened: Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich began coughing while criticizing Clinton for coughing.

straw man.  OPT never said "one of the major, reputable polls".  if she is thinking what i think she is thinking, then she is talking about a poll that has little or no reputation whatsoever.

it turned out that the poll showed what the reputable polls showed. 

[Opti]

that Trump is funding one of the major 'reputable' polls

Since I didn't make the assertion he is funding one of the major polls ... nothing to do.

from that same article:

Clinton, who’s been traveling the country for campaign events, has blamed her coughing on allergies. A letter her doctor released last year also noted that Clinton suffers from “seasonal pollen allergies.”

The allergy index for Cleveland on Monday reached medium-high levels of 8.9, according to Pollen.com.

so, now we are picking on people with allergies?  that should go over well.

Actually the GOP first started to use the "coughing of.. "as a reason to suggest there was something wrong physically with  the POTUS that might mean thinking considering replacing him/her  under her husband , Bill..  During a yearly physical at "Walter  Reed Hospital " [now closed] in DC..the door was slightly ajar while Bill was in with his Doctor and he was overheard coughing..and his doctor saying again..then again [cough..cough ]....

Some of the GOP leadership then had the idea that it might be a good idea to make something of this..you all know how they, GOP leadership, where always looking to discredit the Clintons..setting Star on them as a example..up to $80million spent on investigation over four years of it with nothing ever being found as far as wrong doing..my and your $ spent, wasted...[sheesh]

Guess current GOP leadership thought it  might be a good idea to bring this up again when Hillery had a few coughing spells during some speeches...seem they sre aleays after the Clintons for something ot other.....

Even Ken Star has recently apologized for his over done investigations..

[dezailoooooo]

Just to go along with the  semi spoof of the post above..and knowing that there are those who don't want to hear anything positive ,ever, about the Clintons.....

[Obama too but in his case he and his family are basically old news..]

for the rest of us who are not so caught up in the Clinton paranoia ,the following release by the current director of the FBI...

[many of us don't question all government announcements or think there is a conspiracy around every corner ]

I found  interesting.

FBI Director James Comey is defending the bureau's Friday afternoon release of documents from the Hillary Clinton email investigation, saying that "we don't play games" and that the documents were put out when ready.
In a memo to employees on Wednesday, Comey said the decision to not recommend charges against the now-Democratic nominee wasn't a close call.


"At the end of the day, the case itself was not a cliff-hanger; despite all the chest-beating by people no longer in government, there really wasn't a prosecutable case," he said in the memo.

"I expect to see..when Hillery wins the office and is sworn in..[ not saying if..] no 100 day honeymoon period that is normally given to a newly elected potus, especially a brand new one..something both parties seem to have done.     I expect a immediate battle over everything..same as given to Obama..Donald not calling for support of the new President as all previouse unsuccessful presidents have done...basically the party of "no" will continue to say "no.."..especially if they continue to control both houses..

If so, then I would like to see her choose the most left leading justice candidates available when and if the time comes..what does she have to lose if what I feel will happen after the election.

The only thing that might  be different..she has been known to be able to cross the aisle..work with the other side, even been applauded by the other side so if reasonable people are elected as opposition folks..less green party types..then possible my assumption may be incorrect...hopefully.

Also, hoping that the Donald suffers a bad enough defeat so  he can safely be dismissed as a power in the opposition...naturally all this is hoping and assuming there will be a Hillery victory hope a hope a hope.
