> [@Leaper](#): > > Serious question: how much do/did non-conservative voters really hear about accusations/conspiracy theories about Clinton’s health before this, especially those that would be disqualifying for office? Sure, we know about all the right wing pundits blogs, and Trump has been pushing it to some extent, but it occurred to me that some sense of it is almost necessary for this incident to have maximum impact, and I realized I didn’t know how generally known it was. It goes back to her fall and concussion way back in 2012. They saw an opening and have been tracking her every sniffle since then. > [@Pearl\_Clutching\_Provocateur](#): > > I can’t believe you actually did it. :D:D:D:D Don’t bluff with cites on the SD.

HIllary’s secretive, right. Remind me, when is Trump releasing his tax returns again? ---

It’s the people who don’t feel so strongly that are in play. - 100% 95% of the dopers would vote for any Democrat over any Republican. 95% of the far right will vote for any Republican over any Democrat. These voters are lovers or haters no matter what she does. It’s the 15% of the undecided voters who will determine if this is a big deal. ---

> [@Pearl\_Clutching\_Provocateur](#): > > (5) The young girl was allowed to run up and hug her. It could have been staged but still odd. Of course it was staged. Everything that woman does is for effect. I note also that Hillary didn’t hug her. She motioned (commanded actually) the little girl to come to her. When the little girl got there (seemingly unsure why she was there or what to do) Hillary perfunctorily turned her toward the cameras for a photo op and then turned and walked off without so much as a word to the little girl. #whattabitch.

You can tell because humans don’t want to hug Hillary Clinton – certainly not human little girls. Hillary Clinton (the indestructible lizard version, anyway) reeks of sulfur from the depths of hell. It’s certainly not the case that Hillary Clinton is a human person and some other human people, including some human little girls, might actually like and be inspired by her. That would be ridiculous! ---

> [@](#): > > …walked off without so much as a word to the little girl… At 23 seconds into the clip, she is clearly talking to the little girl. Then she is talking to someone off camera, presumably a parental unit, and poses for a photo. I’m guessing at the behest of said parental unit. You were right about two things, one is Hillary, the other, a little girl. ---

Most people have no problems with Tim Kaine. If there’s anything wrong at all with Clinton’s health, people should still be happy to vote for her because hey! We get Tim Kaine now, the guy who nobody hates! ---

How on earth do you manage to extrapolate all that. I merely pointed out that contrary to what **PCP** said, Clinton didn’t actually hug the girl. This doesn’t mean I think she should have. What ticked me off was the obvious photo op-iness of the encounter and her rudely walking away from the little girl afterward without so much as a word. It was pretty much “Come here, turn this way, smile, get lost”. ---

I’m guessing at the behest of said parental unit. You were right about two things, one is Hillary, the other, a little girl. I didn’t say Clinton never spoke to the little girl. I said that after posing the her for a photo she walked off without so much as a word to her, which is precisely what happened as I elucidated just above. ---

And, for god’s sake, don’t give in to temptation to not interpret a tiny video snippet in the worst possible light for a candidate you hate. It can never be the case that these are actual people sometimes doing what people do and being a tad awkward or something – it’s always either calculated evil or total incompetence. ---

It was pretty much “Come here, turn this way, smile, get lost”. Would you prefer she sat down for a coloring session on the sidewalk with her? You don’t think this family was waiting outside to see Hillary, the little girl or her parental unit made an indication that they’d like a picture, Hillary beckons her over, the little girl runs to her, gets nervous, they snap a picture, and everyone goes about their way? This was most likely a photo op for her parents. How dare her parents want their little girl to get a pic with the first woman to be a major-party nominee! ---
