Sure, it's the National Enquirer that few people admit reading ("the maid reads it"), but the article claims that Hillary Clinton is in such poor health that she cannot survive into the 2016 election. Six months to live, maybe.

LOL.  Torie and pbrower2a in the same sling!  Tongue It's just reporting the news dude. Don't shoot the messenger. I actually take the NE somewhat seriously (not that they cannot be totally wrong, and admittedly the article was rather carefully worded, and did not quite live up to the headline). Call that shrill, call that what you will, but that is my opinion.

The National Enquirer is not news and is wrong 99.99% of the time. Being right about John Edwards doesn't excuse the other 10,000 times they've been wrong. Just recently they said Hillary was a lesbian. I assume you're going to believe that too? It's been sad to see how you've become unable to discern between valid and invalid sources as the years have progressed. I noticed you started linking to Fox News, and then Breitbart and finally you've arrived at the National Enquirer. Not even the biggest hacks on here would even think of seriously using the National Enquirer.

 You are a mod (and widely considered to be the "Lead Mod") and want to seriously post articles where your source is the National Enquirer? You make the whole site look bad. So why don't we raise the stakes? If Hillary Clinton is dead in 6 months, as you and the NE suggest, you win and can post NE articles to your hearts content. However, if she is not dead then you resign as a mod. Deal?

It is not a poll, but any valid news that suggests that someone running for a high office who is in deep medical danger and might not make the election is relevant to the polling. But that it does not appear elsewhere suggests that nobody sees any credibility in it.

If it appeared in a legitimate newspaper it would be gigantic news.  

Do I trust the National Enquirer? Of course not. It has about the same credibility as some complete stranger in a bar telling you a story as if he should know while sauced.  It is easy to manipulate. There might be no fact-checking. For all I know it may not even insist upon the minimum standard of journalism of requiring two sources. But know this: practically everyone has seen the headline on the cover.  

Politicians have the right to keep their medical diagnoses private.

I posted basically a synopsis of the headline. Admit it -- we all saw it in the grocery store.  What I say of a broken clock applies to that infamous rag -- a stopped clock is right twice a day.

I don't know about the National Enquirer and if they're right or wrong, but I posted some months ago that Hillary looked ill to me. It's just my impression.

Nice to see pbrower abandoning the Hive Mind and awaking to reality.


The reality, simply enough, is that the National Enquirer printed the story and nobody seems to have followed up.
