St. Ronnie was showing signs of Alzheimers and Bush I vomited & fainted at a state dinner

Yet, Hillary Clinton gets overheated and leaves an event and the MSM will harp on this as a "health scare" so that they can push their agenda of having a horse race.

Anybody recall the first Reagan-Mondale debate in 1984? He was incoherent and re-telling stories. We'd still be on the Pacific Coast Highway if the moderators didn't stop him.

Here's Bush I:



Then there was this fellow who kept falling down all the time:

1. Dubya choked on a pretzel...

[tanyev]

2. Yes, but they never had to run agains the healthiest presidential candidate EVER.

[procon]

3. But... but they were MEN... and Republicans, so that sissy stuff doesn't count.

Next, watch a He-Man Republican scratch his yuge manly bits and spit on the floor.

12. We had a president already who did that.

[lpbk2713]

4. Shit-for-Brains wasn't always well composed at public events either.

[pintobean]

5. So... It's not news?

[book_worm]

6. Major news that will be the leads for days on end?

Do you think so?

[pintobean]

9. It is major news today.

It depends on how serious it is, as to how long the story lasts. Right wingers will try to make it an issue for the rest of the campaign, regardless - just like we would if it was Trump.

7. DD has a breathing problem

DD = deplorable don
deadbeat don
dementia don
dimwit don
dufus don

[Ron Obvious]

8. Reagan really HAD Alzheimer's

Is this really the analogy you want to go with?

[lpbk2713]

10. And that should not have been a surprise.

The voters elected the oldest man to ever serve as president.

[Ron Obvious]

11. It was obvious to many of us...

His continually pretending not to be able to hear questions put to him by reporters when caught unprepared, Nancy's "Say goodnight, Ronnie", his dithering look of confusion, his claiming to be there to free the concentration camps when he had merely seen footage of it and spent the war years in Hollywood.

No, it certainly wasn't a surprise. Bush I and his neo-con cabal were really in charge during most of those years.
