Clinton Campaign Marching Orders: Portray Her As Vigorous, Not Old And Sick (Which She Is)

Matt Vespa:

Pass the aspirin. That’s probably what many on Clinton’s team were either asking, or taking, after the fallout from the former first lady’s medical episode at the 9/11 Memorial in New York City over the weekend. A presidential candidate was whisked away in full view of the public, she was taken to her motorcade, she wobbled as she entered the van, and then disappeared for 90 minutes. What’s wrong with her? Where did she go? What’s her condition? All legitimate questions, as is the true state of Clinton’s health. At 9:30 a.m. on September 11, the Clinton camp added another headache to their list. This is after not fully quelling the narrative surrounding her email fiasco and the Clinton Foundation.

Now, Politico reported that after the collapse, a new memo was issued to surrogatesto portray her with vigor:

Hillary Clinton wanted to “power through” her pneumonia, but after Sunday’s overheating episode, it “seems like the smart thing to do” to take some downtime, even though she is “raring to get back on the trail.”Those phrases, projecting strength, prudence, and vigor, were among the six bullet-pointed talking points about Clinton’s health the campaign distributed to its army of outside surrogates Tuesday morning.

[…]

The memo — which sought to underscore Clinton’s famous stamina and to argue she had been transparent about her health — was distributed a day after Clinton’s top campaign officials assured voters that the Democratic nominee had no undisclosed medical conditions, that she’d be back on the trail within the week, and that more medical records were forthcoming.

[…]

The surrogates were guided to say they could “understand why she wanted to attend the 9/11 memorial on Sunday, as a Senator from New York when the tragedy occurred.” And they were instructed to note that even after her diagnosis, which was shared only with a small handful of aides in her inner circle, Clinton attended “a working session on national security, taking questions from the media and attending an evening event.”

As for Clinton’s decision to take a few days off the trail, resting at her Chappaqua home? No cause for concern. “It seems like she’s doing the smart thing by taking a few days off to rest,” the memo continued, “and I’m sure she’s raring to get back on the trail.”

Well, she plans on returning to the trail this Thursday. Again, I’m not complaining over this trip up. Anything that makes Lady Macbeth’s presidential ambitions more miserable isn’t a bad thing, folks.

The woman’s ”doctor,” is claiming Hillary has come down with ”nothing NEW” since we all saw her out-on-her-feet and stuffed into a van like a sack of potatoes.
So, all of this was caused by something(s) that she already KNEW she had long before 9-11-16.
Meanwhile Chelsea is going to have to get her lies straight.
On the one hand she was running around the place chasing her grandchildren.
On the other hand Chelsea had NEVER seen her mom look more exhausted.
So, which is it?

At 70, Donald Trump—assuming he pulls off the greatest con job of all time—would be the oldest person ever to be sworn in as president. He’s 24 years older than his third wife, who is only 6 years older than his daughter.

Other all-time records or firsts would include Trump’s involvement in over 3,500 lawsuits in federal and state courts, a First Lady whose nude photographs can be found online, and the avowed fan of a Russian dictator and aggressive adversary of the United States in the White House.

At last! The Triumph of Conservative Values!

@Greg:

So age is an issue now, Greg? And choice of spouse? And being involved with the legal system?

@Pete, #3:

The title of this thread suggests that republicans consider Clinton’s age to be an issue, and there’s reason to believe they also consider her choice of spouse to be an issue.

Personally, I’m far more concerned with matters such as this one: Trump Is Already Helping Putin Consolidate Control of Ukraine. Unfortunately most republicans don’t consider the Putin question to have any relevance to Trump’s suitability, so we wind up talking about the implications of things such as Clinton’s sunglasses. I’ve never seen an election like this one. One way or the other, I’ll be glad when it’s behind us.

You can see from the two-page letter presented today by Hillary Clinton’s doctor, she has been diagnosed with “mild non-contagious bacterial pneumonia“. However, there’s a problem….
The International Classification of Diseases (ICD), an ObamaCare standard, is designed code all medical diagnostics. According to ICD-9 codes, and the more current ICD-10 coding, there’s no such diagnosis as “non contagious bacterial pneumonia“.

Dr. Bardack apparently made it up.
How many people will throw themselves under the bus for Hillary?
How much do you pay a doctor to ruin her career?
Of course, it’s other people’s money, so who cares?

Dr. Bardack put Clinton on antibiotics Friday, September 9. The most common forms of bacterial pneumonia are not highly contagious to begin with, and even that low risk is greatly reduced within 24-48 hours after antibiotic therapy has begun. There’s actually not much chance anybody would “catch it” from her. But don’t let such inconvenient facts get in the way of a good accusation. Donald Trump certainly never does.

What did he say when he announced his child care plan?

For many families in our country, childcare is now the single largest expense – even more than housing.

Yet, very little meaningful policy work has been done in this area – and my opponent has no childcare plan.

Many Americans are just one crisis away from disaster – a sick kid, a lost job, a damaged home. There is no financial security.

That middle part there would be a bald-face—uh—“stretching of the truth.” Clinton has had a detailed discussion of her child care proposal up on her campaign website for well over a year.

@Greg:

CNN’s “The Lead,” CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta said the release of medical documents by Democratic presidential nominee former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is “certainly not a release of medical records by any means.”

@Greg: Well, you make such a thorough, detailed and technical case against Trump and for Hillary that it is obvious everyone should simply overlook Hillary’s long record of incompetence, failure, corruption and lies and vote for her… because Trump’s young wife showed her titties.

Yeah… who could argue with that?

Hillary has been comfortable with blaming her mishandling of national security on her own ignorance, assuming her followers will never make the connection between being ignorant as Secretary of State and be ignorant as President of the United States; why doesn’t she blame her failure as Secretary of State on poor health? Her sycophants will never know the difference.

And somebody needs to let Boll which lie they are using today; he said she had the flu.

What an absolute joke. Anyone that believes Hillary and considers voting for her should be institutionalized.

@Bill:

Greg has fallen in line with the vast left wing media. If they are talking they are lying. If she he are typing they are lying.

The media has failed at what they have been given as their role in our civil society. They have chosen a team to be on and it is quite obvious. It would appear that the majority of Americans no longer believe them either and therein lies Greg. He is an extention of the media.

@July 4th American:

Dr. Milton Wolf: Hillary’s Doctor Claimed Hillary Got a Perfect Score on TEST THAT DOES NOT EXIST
A “CTA” is a CT (or cat scan) angiogram. It always requires contrast. Always. It cannot be included in a “non-contrast CT scan.” /2

— Dr. Milton Wolf (@MiltonWolfMD) September 14, 2016

In fact, there is no such thing as a “CTA calcium score” study. A CT calcium score study (of the coronary arteries) MUST be non-contrast. /3

— Dr. Milton Wolf (@MiltonWolfMD) September 14, 2016

If you gave contrast, then the coronary calcifications would be masked by the contrast in the arteries. This is Radiology 101, folks. /4

— Dr. Milton Wolf (@MiltonWolfMD) September 14, 2016

So Hillary’s doctor —who says #HillarysHealth is “excellent”— just claimed Hillary had an imaging study that doesn’t exist. Oops. /5

— Dr. Milton Wolf (@MiltonWolfMD) September 14, 2016

As you can see, Greg got a copy of memo too…straight from his boss at the DNC.

@July 4th American, #10:

It appears your Dr. Milton Wolf is either lying, or doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about:

Cardiac CT Angiography and Calcium Scoring

Cardiac Computed Tomography (cardiac CT) is a painless, non-invasive test that allows high-resolution, three-dimensional visualization of the heart coronary arteries and other adjacent structures.

The two main types of cardiac CT are coronary artery calcium scoring and coronary CT angiography.

Coronary calcium scoring:
In this test, which does not use X-ray contrast, pictures are taken of the heart to look for the presence of calcium deposits in the blood vessels of the heart or coronary arteries…

That, of course, doesn’t keep his bullshit comment from being picked up by every right-wing propaganda outlet on the continent, and unquestioningly believed and parroted by every low-information Trump supporter who reads it.

@Greg:

Hillary Clinton’s Nonexistent Diagnosis – No Such Condition As “Non Contagious Bacterial Pneumonia” in ICD-10…

There’s something very odd about the diagnosis that Dr. Lisa Bardack has presented for her patient Secretary Hillary Clinton, it doesn’t exist.

As you can see from the two-page letter presented today by Hillary Clinton’s doctor, she has been diagnosed with “mild non-contagious bacterial pneumonia“. However, there’s a problem….

hillary-health-14The International Classification of Diseases (ICD), an ObamaCare standard, is designed code all medical diagnostics. According to ICD-9 codes, and the more current ICD-10 coding, there’s no such diagnosis as “non contagious bacterial pneumonia“.

Dr. Bardack apparently made it up.

Dr. Milton Wolf was the first to notice the issue:

hillary-health-15

(Source Link)

Dr. Wolf is entirely correct. Here’s a link to ICD-10-CM Diagnostic coding. There’s no such diagnosis.

An infection such as bacterial pneumonia is considered non-contagious when it is no longer transmissible through routine contact. With common forms of bacterial pneumonia, that’s true following 24-48 hours of antibiotic therapy.

Dr. Milton Wolf is a Tea Party activist. He’s pitching this bullshit because he thinks Hillary Clinton is the devil. He has also probably gone totally insane as a result of learning that he is, in fact, Barack Obama’s second cousin, once removed.

Maybe you missed this: Hillary Clinton, September 15, 2016, at the 39th Annual Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute Public Policy Conference.

Does she seem like she’s ready to fall over? Do you think she’s not ready to debate Donald the Trumpster? The guy is unbelievable. He just patched over one long-standing lie with a new lie. Trump couldn’t tell the truth if his life depended on it. Lies are his business.

@Greg:

Doctors See Inconsistencies In Hillary Clinton’s ‘Bacterial Pneumonia’ Diagnosis

Drs. Elizabeth Lee Vliet and Jane Orient are finding inconsistencies in a letter written by Hillary Clinton’s doctor that claims the Democrat presidential nominee is recovering from “non-contagious bacterial pneumonia.”

Though neither Vliet nor Orient have personally examined Clinton, they’re giving Breitbart News some insights into a letter written by Dr. Lisa Bardack, the chair of Internal Medicine at CareMount Medical in Mount Kisco, New York, who said Clinton was being treated for “a mild non-contagious bacterial pneumonia” after becoming “overheated” during a 9/11 Memorial event when the nominee appeared to collapse and had to leave abruptly.
