Hillary Speech Disrupted by Coughing Attack in Iowa
Seems to my uneducated eye that she may having intermittent problems with the muscles related to swallowing and keeping her esophagus and trachea in sync. Could this be the effect of a stroke?
The leading Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton, was hit with a "coughing attack" midway through remarks today in Iowa.

Clinton is in Iowa, where a CNN town hall is scheduled for tonight. Clinton is 68 years old.

New York Times reporter Amy Chozick wondered on Twitter whether Clinton would even be able to finish her remarks.

".@HillaryClinton has coughing attack at West Des Moines event, may be unable to finish remarks," Chozick said on Twitter.
Choking on the truth?

Clinton vows to win nomination to keep Bloomberg out of race
[Iran Press TV] US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as the Smartest Woman in the World and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Henry L. Stimson ...
has vowed to win the Democratic Party's nomination to "relieve" former New York City mayor and billionaire Michael Nanny Bloomberg of any thoughts of running for president.
The race is wide open. Anybody with a few billion can get in.
"The way I read what he said is if I didn't get the nomination, he might consider it," Clinton told NBC News on Sunday. "Well, I'm going to relieve him of that and get the nomination so he doesn't have to [run]."

"He's a good friend of mine, and I'm going to do the best I can to make sure that I get the nomination, and we'll go from there," she added.

According to a report, Bloomberg is considering a third-party White House run if race comes down to Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders
...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords...
and Republican frontrunner Donald Trump.

The billionaire has advised friends and associates that he would be willing to spend at least $1 billion of his own money on a campaign for the November 2016 election, the New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
reported on Friday, citing sources briefed on the former mayor's plans.

#1  The billionaire has advised friends and associates that he would be willing to spend at least $1 billion of his own money on a campaign for the November 2016 election...

Trump's also a billionaire, and he hasn't spent squat so far. A rational person with no chance whatsoever of winning would do no such thing, which is why I'm hoping he gets in!

#2  Bloomberg does not have serious name recognition on the west coast. Thats gonna be a problem.

#3  Clinton vows to win nomination to keep Bloomberg out of race

Selfless sacrifice.

#4  If Bloomberg weren't filthy rich and I weren't filthy poor I'd make a donation to buy him a condo on some nice mediterranean island like Elba.

#5  Maybe Clinton needs to look up the definition of "3rd party".

#6  Bloomberg is worried about his investment in the establishment candidates who are all floundering!

Sanders maintains slim lead over Clinton in Iowa
[Iran Press TV] US presidential candidate Bernie Sanders
...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords...
has a slim lead over his rival, Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as the Smartest Woman in the World and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another John Foster Dulles ...
, in Iowa only a week before the caucuses there, a new online poll shows.

According to the CBS News "Battleground Tracker" survey, released on Sunday, Sanders has a 1 point lead over Clinton, 47 to 46 percent.

Former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley
...former Democratic governor of Maryland and aspiring presidential candidate, known locally as The One-Man Economic Wrecking Crew. O'Malley was elected to his second term driven by union support and near-Stalinesque vote margins in Baltimore city (82%) and Prince George's County (88%). He presided over more than 40 tax or fee increases, including a rain tax and a flush tax...
has only 5 percent support.

In New Hampshire, Sanders, however, maintains his wide lead, 57 to 38 percent, according to the poll.

Meanwhile,
...back at the Senate, the partisans of Honorius went for their knives and the partisans of Stilicho went for the doors...
Clinton has a commanding lead over Sanders in South Carolina, 60 to 38 percent, the survey showed.

In a Democratic primary that appears to be tightening, Clinton has escalated its attacks on Sanders over his perceived inexperience with foreign policy.

In an interview with NBC on Sunday, Clinton acknowledged that her competition with Sanders for the Democratic presidential nomination has become intensely personal.

#1  Democratic presidential nomination has become intensely personal

Really? Personal? Has anyone attacked her daughter's boyfriend's/husband's mother's past drug problem?

#2  Sanders has said yesterday that guns designed to kill people should be illegal and confiscated. Only hunting g guns should be allowed.

#3  Sanders will disarm the government?

#4  Sanders has said yesterday that guns designed to kill people should be illegal and confiscated.

Divide and conquer.

#5  "guns designed to kill people".

You're not real smart, are you, Bernie?
Posted by: Frank G || 01/25/2016 13:01 Comments || Top||

#6  Does this mean that Sanders will dispense with the Secret Service detail given to all viable candidates during his campaign?

Didn't think so. Hypocrite.

#7  Sanders actually said, "pander, pander, pander."
Posted by: rjschwarz || 01/25/2016 13:50 Comments || Top||

#8  Whoa, yokay, what did I miss - I'd just read on the Net of Pro-DemoSocialist Bernie/Sanders being ahead by 16 points of Hillary, which is not slim at all???
