Remember the whole Obama birth certificate debacle? Now there's this:

Debunking the Hillary Clinton health conspiracy

"From Donald Trump and his top surrogates to the right-wing media and its engine rooms of outrage in the blogosphere, Hillary Clinton's opponents are ramping up efforts to sow doubt over the candidate's health."

Maybe someone should troll Trump for his looks, too. The way he does with people. For instance, are we sure this thing on his head isn't a dead rare animal? When will he take responsibility for the rare species that he's been exterminating in order to maintain that toupee of his?

These are all pressing issues of great importance for society. You know, serious stuff for serious times.

Why, Elizabeth Warren has been doing a great job there so far.

My take is that they're missing the mark on this one. Mr. Trump's VP, you know, watzhisname, seems like a better candidate than either Mr. Trump or Mrs. Clinton. I expect they'd see a bump in their poll numbers if they set out and then confirm rumors that Mr. Trump only has six months to live.

No, just pointing out that dying would be about the best career move for Mr. Trump could make at this juncture.

I actually think if he wins the election, then goes to Capitol Hill and instead of taking the oath says, "I was pulling your leg all this time, folks! I quit!", this would be the MOST EPIC moment in US history! It'd be written down in golden letters in all trolling manuals, which he'll then tweet and re-tweet over and over, and make profit from book sales for eternity!

Not that any of these numbskulls are right, but...

Any person running for President of the US who is over, say, 65 deserves extra scrutiny. They are taking on arguably the most high pressure, round-the-clock meat grinder of a job in the world, at an age when most people are fading into a quiet retirement.

She is 68.

Trump is already 70, he would be older than Reagan was when he was inaugurated. He deserves the same scrutiny, if not more since he is a man and more likely to drop dead suddenly.

I wouldn't want to spend my final days being hated by half the country, with the other half heading in that direction too - and it's hard to understand how anyone else would - but that's just me.

Back in 2008, the right (in the primary) and the left (in the general) questioned McCains health, and he's stlll going.

I wasn't a big McCain fan though....when it comes to 2008 Republicans - I liked that Fred Thompson fella, no questions about his health at all (but still, if Republicans had to go through a semi-celebrity phase - why didn't they do it then?)

Sure Alex Jones and his ilk are tinfoil-hatty but you cannot deny that Hillary has definitely been seen having a seizure and has spaced out on video. Desperate? Sure. But when she can get away with lying to congress and deleting classified information. Get away clean after wiping her sever "You mean with a cloth?" and been called by the FBI to be basically either an idiot not worthy to have a security clearance or a criminal not worthy to have a security clearance. Not even going into "Pay to Play" and the shit that is the Clinton foundation you go with what you have. Watch the video. Make up your own mind.

No more like "look with your own eyes and make your own decision". But by all means bury your head in the sand and be dismissive.
