Yes, think about Roosevelt...the burden of the office killed him.

How do you know he wouldn't have died when he did anyway, even if he was never president? For all I know, the burden of office is what kept him alive for over 12 years as president. I know of no medical records that claim the burden of office killed him. Do you?

Meanwhile, despite his handicap he was one of the greatest presidents the USA ever had. He was elected president 4 times. Now the limit is two.

If you dislike both current candidates, you are at liberty to write in whoever you want.

When FDR was president, the job was much different from what it is like nowadays. Think about all the summits they have to attend, in different timezones all over the world. Quite possibly, being Secretary of State didn't do any good to Hillary's health. And now that she's so frail she still wants to grab the top job... It boggles the mind...

Well, apparently it's boggling yours anyway . . .

Although I would agree that a wiser move would be for a younger nominee, however there have been notable exceptions in recent history:

Winston Churchill was Prime Minister of the UK at age 66 and later at age 77 until 81.

Konrad Adenauer (Der Alte) was Chancellor of Germany at age 73 until age 87.

FDR was relatively young, age 51 when elected President and died at age 62.
A long time chain smoker he was suffering from significant heart disease near the end of his life. (courtesy of Wikipedia)

Good grief! I accept that you don't like the woman, but where do you get the idea she's "so frail"? In spite of the current bout of pneunomia, she seems to have boundless energy. Hell, I get exhausted after a day trip to Bangkok, I can just imagine the state I'd be in if I was traipsing across the country for months on end. And, let's not forget she has released her health report and nothing was amiss while the Donald has only provided that one page hand written note provided without an examination and by a bizarre appearing doctor. I won't even mentioned the report that he is reported to being supported by daily doses of amphetamines.

Hogwash :!:

The Donald is playing it smart by not saying anything about Clinton's current health issue as he knows that this fire has been lite and will blossom by itself.......This will be her downfall I predict.

You won't, but yet you just did.

It's a pretty stupid theory, I think. Have you ever seen someone on daily doses of amphetamines who is obese? I haven't. Amphetamines are powerful appetite suppressants, after all, yet The Donald seems to gobble down ungodly amounts of food on a regular basis - and it shows.
