Does Hillary have a body double?

While we’re at it, does Trump have a brain double? After all, the guy who met with Mexico’s president managed to go the entire meeting without spouting racist, xenophobic or misogynistic BS. Clearly that Trump and the usual one must be two different people.

Also, Paul McCartney is really William Campbell aka Billy Shears

Dude, you do realize this sort of thing is why Hillary is winning, right? I’m still voting for her, but her campaign did stall and hedge about the pneumonia disclosure in ways that raise legit concerns about transparency. A sensible opposition party would focus their message on that point, and hammer it hard. Instead, what we’re getting are proliferating (and mutually contradictory) theories about body doubles, robots, catheter bags, and whether the pneumonia is a cover for MS / a seizure disorder / a stroke / Parkinson’s / end-stage syphilis / all of the above. It makes Trump supporters look, from a normal person’s perspective, like a pack of wacky conspiracy-mongers who are totally disconnected from reality. Pretty much all they had to do to make hay from this was sit tight and NOT start going wild with the conspiracy theories, but apparently they just can’t help themselves.

I think this is a whack-o conspiracy idea, but I will address it point by point, taking it seriously, just in case someone reading actually takes it seriously.

Different clothes, jewelry: people change clothes. She probably showered after lying down for a while, and even sleeping. I’d want a shower too. When you change clothes, you put on jewelry that matches it. There was no Steadicam shot of the car, so we don’t know where it stopped, how long it was stopped, or how long she was out of it. Obviously, she stopped and went some place for a while. She was certainly examined by a doctor, and that’ll make you want a shower as well.

lips: shower and change of clothes. Either one will provoke re-application of make-up, and different clothes may mean a different choice of lipstick color.

lips, thinner: if she had pneumonia, chances are she was given diuretics (Lasix is one that is used for pneumonia sometimes), so she lost some water weight. That will change the look of her face, and make her appear thinner-- I mean, she is thinner, but she hasn’t lot fat, just water. Edema can go away pretty rapidly. I had serious edema in my legs after my c-section, but as soon as I was allowed to walk around, I did 15 minutes up and down the hall, and it resolved visibly over 1/2 hour just due to improved circulation.

where is her usual secret service detail?: just out of the shot. They do not always make themselves obvious, especially during photo-ops. Besides, if the argument is “You know it was a double because there was no secret service,” that’s pretty dumb. If the idea was to fool people into thinking the double was the real thing, there would be secret service in the exact formation as usual, otherwise, it’d be a dead giveaway, not to mention that the double would be in just as much danger as the genuine item, and need real secret service.

Then, there is the problem of coming up with a decent look-alike in a pretty short amount of time. Granted, there are casting houses that specialize in providing look-alikes for famous people, but they are in Hollywood, and flying a double out ASAP with no one noticing the machinations has its own problems.

If she does, she ought to have some fun with it. Have the double walk out of her house, grab her chest, and collapse to the sidewalk. Then have Secret Service impersonators throw her into a limo and whiz off to the hospital. Press swallows it and follows the limo. Real Hillary sneaks out and goes to an event, walking up to the podium just as the press is speculating about her death. Even better if she can do a cartwheel up to the stage.

I can confirm that Hillary employs a battalion of body doubles, because I am one of them.

I need to be padded strategically under the pantsuit, because I am a guy. I wish the pay scale was better.

God, I hope so.

I hope there’s a dozen of them.

Be afraid,** Urbanredneck**. Be very afraid.

That’s enough. No more personal shots from anyone.

Yes she does. It’s Kiera Knightly.

Too bad she doesn’t get one with a Kim Kardashian butt and Dolly Parton boobs. No one would ever look at the face or hands that closely.

In the video, Hillary is the first person to emerge from the front door of the lobby. A police officer is behind her. Anyone could have had a clear shot at her. In fact, Pharma Bro, Martin Shkreli, was outside shouting at her. If anything, the secret service was negligent in the protection of Clinton. Photo ops are well staged and planned. Given the circumstances, there was no way that it could have been possibly planned. The photos show that anyone off the street could have easily gotten to Hillary. If something had happened to Clinton, I think her supporters would have a different attitude.

POTUS is the most powerful position in the world. The stakes are high enough to warrant having a body double ready. Yeah it’s far fetched. But I dare say there are people out there who would undergo plastic surgery to make themselves look like Hillary for the cause.

It’s as weird as getting all worked up over a cartoon frog.

Even if she had a body double for security purposes, which I doubt, there’s no way she’d let a double go out and speak for her.

It just seems that way because of her ability to astral project.

Your appreciation of amphibian porn is entirely your own business, and I will not make an issue of it.

Why does everybody insist on using the term “body double” when they mean simply “lookalike”? Hillary doesn’t have a “body double” unless somebody is taking her place for nude scenes in a movie somewhere.

And of course it was completely outside of the realm of possibility that the Secret Service was already outside before she emerged. I’ve witnessed and actually been a part of these types of security details. The detail directly around her are only a small part.

Why is everyone (and I mean on the internet not just here) saying body double? A body double is specifically someone who stands in for the body of another, mostly for nude scenes in a movie. They don’t have to look like the primary they just have to have the same type of body. Its just a double. Or doppelganger if you want to get fancy.

The stupidity of this is that they would need to find someone who looked exactly like Hilary. Like closer than a twin. Pretty much impossible to find someone who will stand up to scrutiny.

See? :slight_smile:

In my head I keep hearing Michael Caine saying “He’s using aDOUBLE.

Well, perhaps that’s why it’s been discovered!

That was her double’s double.
