Sitting it out and letting Trump self-destruct was a solid strategy we were told.

What campaign lets up on a challenger in trouble?

What politician pulls back from utterly destroying their seriously wounded opponent when the opportunity arises?

It is not as though Clinton is known for a low energy style of functioning. A review of her detailed calendar of events when she was Secretary of State shows an exhausting, packed, and demanding schedule prior to her fall and head injury.

This raises very serious questions in the implications of her collapse on September 11.

Clinton is campaigning by not campaigning. Her behavior today raised serious questions about her general health given the deliberate absence of public and press contact. Her response today was dismissive as the chorus of proxy supporters rolled out excuses.

Since Clinton's health is in question and she will not talk about it, she should withdraw from the campaign. It's that simple.

There are, of course, other compelling issues that present an overwhelming case for Clinton to withdraw:

  • She voted for the Iraq invasion.
  • She supported the occupation of Iraq.
  • She led the policy that resulted in the coup in Ukraine and the disasters that followed.
  • She spearheaded the effort to turn Libya into a failed state under President Obama.
  • She spearheaded the ongoing effort to destroy Syria, an anti terrorist, religiously tolerant regime.

Those who glibly say I'm with her need to realize that they're supporting a candidate who has demonstrated that she is a true danger to international stability and world peace.

The Kaine Hedge

The Clinton collapse and the ongoing stories about her foundation and her email scandal (see Clinton Scandal Timeline) explain the next big event in the 2016 presidential campaign.

The selection of Senator Tim Kaine as her vice presidential runningmate was clearly a hedge against the probability of a Clinton collapse through scandals or health. The ruling elite was unable to get a scandal free candidate to assure continuity of war and wealth friendly policies. They were able, however, to put in a back up in the form of Kaine who they think will do their bidding.

UPDATE: Clinton camp admits she has pneumonia.
