• Honestly, the thought of her becoming president makes us feel a little faint, too.
• Hillary Clinton abruptly left a 9/11 commemoration at Ground Zero, stumbled off a curb, and collapsed into the arms of Secret Service agents before being thrust into a campaign van. The wretched moment, caught on the smartphones of bystanders, zipped online, where it reified all concerns about her health. This is the year of the elders: She will be 69 on Election Day, Donald Trump will be 70, Bernie Sanders was 74 when he bowed out. But she has had a concussion, plus three blood clots, for which she takes a blood thinner. The image of a tired and ailing senior citizen reinforces the facts that she has no vital message and that she has been front and center for a quarter century. As bad as the video was the response of her team. First they said it was hot that morning (the weather was glorious). Then they admitted that she had been diagnosed with pneumonia two days earlier. Then Bill Clinton told CBS News that she “frequently — well not frequently, rarely — but on more than one occasion” has fainted from dehydration. The only thing as familiar as Hillary Clinton is the fog of mendacious doubletalk in which she lives and breathes.
