Its the right thing to do,**** Sanders said told NBCs Chuck Todd in November when asked if he would release his medical records. The American people have a right to know whether the person theyre going to be voting for for president is healthy.******
I think we have released, its not just a few letters, as I understand it, we released two letters from cardiologists who are quite well known and one letter from the capitol physician, Sanders said, adding So I think we have done everything that, plus, what other candidates have done.*****
Asked again if hed be releasing more information, Sanders said I think probably not.
Sanders is correct that his release of letters from his doctors is roughly in line with what other candidates have released. Former Vice President Joe Biden released a detailed medical summary several weeks ago that concluded he is a healthy, vigorous, 77-year-old male, who is fit to successfully execute the duties of
the Presidency.

No promise there ****
Fact there. *****
We know that's true because of the summaries his doctors released ****** The same thing the other candidates released.
The problem comes in when people believe everything Chuck Toad, a notable republican hack, pushes is not twisted. Because most Dems know Toad has an agenda and he is a sneaky fucking weasel who stirs his cauldron of shit on a daily basis. YMMV
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
