That's actually good advice, but I still lean towards Hillary Clinton being unfit. Why. Because whatever is ailing her, her and her campaign have deemed it to be damaging to her run for president if it were ever broadcast. Therefore what-ever she is sick with, it disqualifies her. This is someone who was being held up like a Jim Henson puppet, a Raggedy Ann doll, and literally tossed, tossed, into her car like a slab of beef. I've never seen anything like it, ever. She has got to be kidding.
Nah.
Reagan was showing signs of Alzheimer's in his final years in office. Some have even pointed out signs of it early in his presidency. According to some that were around him, he was forgetting a lot of basic things that healthy people his age wouldn't forget. We're talking the leader of the free world here.
It turns out Kennedy was very sick in the 3 years he was president.
FDR, who many historians believe was the greatest leader in the history of the free world, was sick most of his presidency.
Having serious health issues only lines Hillary up with other legends. It'll add a nice touch to the campaign. It'll show toughness and perseverance. It will embolden her base and draw admiration from swing voters. Americans like that. Overcoming illness. Overcoming odds.
A. It's debatable that Reagan had Alzheimer's during his presidency.
B. Yes, Kennedy was very sick, but he kept it hidden from the American public.
C. Likewise, FDR kept the severity of his disease from the public and became very sick in 1944 and looked it. He was dying and finally passed away in 1945.
Today people expect transparency and voters believe they have a right to know if their candidate has a serious illness. If the public knew about JFK's conditions in 1960 he wouldn't have been elected or would have dropped out, same thing for FDR in his 4th term.
No, it doesn't show toughness and perseverance. That's a fantasy.
