What if Hillary had been doing the sniffing?

If Hillary had done that, it would have been headlines on every news station, along with the right wing screaming drug abuse allegations and demanding drug tests. It would play into their Hillary is sick routine.

To me, that video is probable cause. If he had been acting like that and had been pulled over by police, he would have been taken in and tested.

Additionally, if he was applying for any other job that requires clearance, they would require a drug test. The GOP expects welfare recipients and everyday workers to be drug screened.

I think we should all be demanding a drug screen for him. I'm sure Hillary has nothing to hide, so what's the harm? She'd almost certainly say ok. So make it fair and drug screen both candidates!

I'm actually not joking here.

we need to put this to rest for his benefit. You know like how Trump forced Obama to produce his birth certificate.

For all publicly elected officials. Why should we allow them to get off without testing, while they demand it it of everyone else. I get what you are saying, and I'm trying to see this from a broader perspective. If Trump gets caught in the net, that's the breaks, but in the meantime, should we not be confirming we don't have any Toronto mayors (isn't he the one, I can't recall) in the midst of our government

I really believe that's all it is, maybe sinus infection. But he looks like a fool to deny having a minor illness. Keep it up, Donald.

Note, I didn't say he was or was not using drugs, I am advocating for drug screens for candidates to the highest offices in the US, to eliminate that question.
