I'm a Sanders' supporter. I make no bones about that. But this video and entire line of questioning is shit. Just utter and empty shit. Especially when you consider he gave them the reason. But, and the press will do, they fucking ignored it.

This is from old age. I'm 50 and my hands will sometimes shake. It's usually when I'm having to hold something above shoulder level but still, they shake. I been tested and it's nothing. Just a little earlier sign of aging. Bill is fine. He's just getting old. And we all will one day. Thanks.

Edit: "This is bullshit" is no way directed at bigdarryl. Just the fact that the press ignored Clinton in search of a controversy. It's just another example of the problems we bitch about everyday.
