Trump’s Health Perfect, Except That Day He Got A Military Medical Deferment
When Donald Trump’s doctor released the Republican frontrunner’s medical report this week it caused quite a stir. Not only is Trump’s health exceptional, Dr. Harold N. Bornstein opined that “If elected, Mr. Trump … would be the healthiest individual ever elected to the Presidency.”
The doctor is not alone in his confidence of Trump’s robust fitness. The candidate himself went so far as to correctly predict his medical report would show “perfection“. Naturally, he even took to Twitter to boast about his superior genetics which, he believes, results in his unbelievable health.
This October, Donald Trump went on the Opie and Jimmy radio program and went so far as to claim he has never even had the flu! Clearly, we are looking at a potential world leader with superhuman capabilities on par with the legendary Kim Jong-un of North Korea. (We can only imagine what would happen if the two of them met on a golf course!)
So how is it possible that someone so healthy, who was a star student athlete and who has never even had the flu suddenly had disqualifying medical issues when the Vietnam War rolled around? What bad luck bestowed our Donald that day when the military, so desperate to find young men to send into war, had to turn away someone so genetically and physically superior? Perhaps Trump can have Dr. Bornstein scribble us a little note about that medical mystery.

If Trump wins the nomination, his most likely opponent will be Hillary Clinton. Hillary, a female, was never subject to the draft, but her husband, Bill Clinton, was, and he got several deferments. When Bill ran out of deferments, he wrote a letter in which he explicitly stated his unwillingness to serve in the U.S. military. So I don’t Trump’s using a medical deferment to possibly avoid the draft will become an issue in 2016.
William December 17th, 2015 at 09:06
The fundamental difference is this. Clinton maintained his fundamental aversion to using military action as basic foreign policy. The draft dodgers like Trump and Cheney became warhawks.
Alek Kolchak December 17th, 2015 at 09:10
Clinton didn’t use the military? Tell that to the Serbians. It would be more to the point to say that Clinton wasn’t very good when he did use the military, as Somalia would attest. And there’s a dead janitor in an aspirin factory in Sudan who, if he could, would testify in opposition to the argument that Bill was a peaceful man.
Obewon December 17th, 2015 at 09:16
How many combat deaths under Bill Clinton? “0” According to the CRS, during the Clinton administration, one person in uniform died as a result of hostilities and another 75 died as a result of terrorist attacks. By contrast, during the first six years of the Bush administration, 2,596 troops died from hostilities and 55 from terrorist attacks. http://www.factcheck.org/2008/01/military-deaths-under-clinton-and-bush/
Alek Kolchak December 17th, 2015 at 09:41
Really? How many sailors were killed on the U.S.S. Cole? And I guess you’re not counting the Marine (or the 11 CIA personnel) killed in the embassy attacks in 1998. But, oh, I’ve forgotten that Clinton was the guy who made famous the concept of “definitions.” At all depends upon what “is” is–remember that? So, depending on how “combat” is defined, you could say that no one was killed in “combat” while Bill was in the WH. (Just as you could say that no Muslim has ever killed an American, because no real Muslim can, by Obama’s definition, be a jihadi.)
William December 17th, 2015 at 09:46
Typical right winger. Post anything about Trump and they’ll pull Bill Clinton out of the box. These guys were marginally more interesting when they wanted to chat about FEMA camps and death panels.
So now the real subject comes up. Islamophobia. You could have saved everyone a lot of time if you had just gone ahead and skipped to your real agenda.
Alek Kolchak December 17th, 2015 at 09:50
Without Bill Clinton, there would have never been the possibility of a Hillary Clinton presidency. Bill Clinton will be part of the 2016 election. You know that, and you want to use Bill Clinton to your advantage. But that won’t happen, unless the Republicans are incredibly inapt in the arts of political campaigning. Get used to having to cover for Bill.
William December 17th, 2015 at 10:01
Well when one considers the shape the last Democratic President left this country compared to the way the last Republican left it (a smoking ruin). I hope and pray that Bill lends as much to the next administration as possible. Of course we want to use Bill Clinton to our advantage. …and..*snicker* You guys are of course free to use George W. Bush, to YOUR advantage. *giggle*. After all, fair is fair.

BTW please point out where I ever wrote “Clinton didn’t use the military” If you think you’re going to try that Limbaugh shtick of telling people what they really, mean or think, be aware this is a liberal web site, and we’re not stupid enough to fall for that sh*t.
Alek Kolchak December 17th, 2015 at 09:32
Okay, I failed to understand you. What you meant, it seems, to have said is that “Clinton maintained his anti-war views, even as he waged war against Serbia, messed up big time in Somalia, blew up rocks with cruise missiles in Afghanistan, and murdered a janitor in an aspirin factory in Sudan. Even as Bill rained down bombs and missiles, he ALWAYS said he was a ‘man of peace.'”
There, William, have I clarified your position? (Oh, I forgot to mention that Clinton also maintained the northern and southern no-fly zones over Iraq.)
William December 17th, 2015 at 09:42
No you have not. The subject is Trumps draft dodge. If you want to talk about Presidents blowing up sh*t and murdering people, that’s another subject, and I’ll be happy to discuss it. BTW. You really need to look up the definition of murder.
Alek Kolchak December 17th, 2015 at 09:45
You are the one who is arguing that Bill Clinton, who wrote a letter in which he admitted that he detested the U.S. military, remained a pacifist while in the WH. You simply are p.o.’d that I’ve ruined your argument. You’re angry because, in your mind, this is a liberal website, and you think being a liberal means never having to say, “I was wrong.”
William December 17th, 2015 at 09:52
Um..no. This is a posting about Trumps draft dodging.
To defend him you have so far bought up
Syria, Serbia, an aspirin factory, Somalia, Hillary Clinton, Muslims, Jihad, the USS Cole, an Embassy, Afghanistan, missiles and rocks.
Not once have you offered a plausible argument to the subject.
…and yet you likely wonder why nobody is taking you seriously
you have trolled poorly
Alek Kolchak December 17th, 2015 at 10:00
No, to defend him, I’ve pointed out that Trump’s most likely opponent is not free of draft problems herself. First of all, Hillary who champions women’s rights was NOT required to register for the draft. And 2ndly, Hillary, who is half of the Clinton team, is yoked to a partner who was eligible for the draft but also got deferments. So trying to paint Trump as a draft dodger is not a consequence-free tool for Hillary to use against Trump. A big consequence, in fact, should Hillary broach Trump’s prior draft status, is that it might–and should–open the door for a discussion as to whether or not women should be required to register with the selective service. I wonder how Hillary would respond to that?
William December 17th, 2015 at 10:03
I’ve pointed out that Trump’s most likely opponent is not free of draft problems herself
Really?
Hillary Clinton has draft problems.

Part of the protests back in the day, was about these wealthy white folks being able to use their privilege to dodge the draft….Mitt, Donald, Bush…all used their lucky births to not go to war, and lead pampered and privileged lives while the the “poor” fought and died in that nasty war…I sat on that bench waiting for my “orders”….while these fucks did not….I piss on them….
Alek Kolchak December 17th, 2015 at 09:12
If Trump’s deferment comes up, the best counter-attack would be to question why American women still are not subject to our select-service law. Since the U.S. military has now opened up all combat fields to females, why aren’t females subject to registering for the draft. That’s a question that should be put to Hillary.
William December 17th, 2015 at 09:17
How does one use a current policy concerning draft registration to defend a draft dodge four decades ago?
Alek Kolchak December 17th, 2015 at 09:19
The topic is “answering the call to the draft.” Women can’t answer the call because they are exempt from being called. And why is that? The feminist–invariably a Democrat–DEMANDS equal treatment. Don’t you think, William, that women should be required to register for the draft, just as ALL 18-year-old American males are required to do?
Obewon December 17th, 2015 at 09:29
Even Bozo the KKK clown knows everyone is exempt from the draft since Jan. 27, 1973.

You don’t get to dictate the topic. Scroll up. This is title of the article.

I answered him. But he kept deflecting.

Alek Kolchak December 17th, 2015 at 11:49
If the election becomes a Trump v. Team Clinton contest, the discussion cannot consider Trump’s response, back in the day, to the draft without considering Team Clinton’s response to the same situation. The old witch, being a helpless, little female, was not subject to the draft, and Coke-Nose Billy did everything he could to avoid the draft. Those are facts, mistlesuede.
OldLefty December 17th, 2015 at 11:51
Nobody cares.
Alek Kolchak December 17th, 2015 at 11:52
I think you’re probably right: nobody cares what Trump did about the draft 40-plus years ago.
OldLefty December 17th, 2015 at 13:27
He’s just a big phony all around, and those who like don’t care and those who don’t won’t vote for him anyway.
Alek Kolchak December 17th, 2015 at 14:13
It’s the same with the old witch. Those who don’t care that she used the Sec. of State’s office for her personal gain, won’t care about her other criminal activities. They won’t care that she compromised national security in order to have an e-mail system which she could control and, thus, conceal that she was selling influence worldwide and laundering the money through the Clinton Foundation. They won’t care that she was so indifferent to her responsibilities that she slept while the Libyan ambassador and others were murdered; and that, afterwards, she was so flippant about the murders that she actually thought she could pass the incident off as being the result of an Internet video. But Hillary has always assumed that her “fans” are morons. And who could argue with her?

Alek Kolchak December 17th, 2015 at 12:54
You mean, “it prompts the question.” Begging the question occurs when the questioner assumes the answer resides in the question itself. For instance, a question such as, “Since we’re all progressives, I’m sure we all agree that our old witch is a shoo-in the 2016 presidential election.” The questioner “begged the question,” when assuming that “…we’re all progressives” is a true statement.

No, it “begs the question”.
WYNEMA GONZAGOWSKI December 17th, 2015 at 19:16
HELLO!!! The difference is that Clinton did not have to register for the draft and Trump did… IF he bought his way out of military service (which it is looking more and more like he did) then HE BROKE THE LAW and HE should face the consequences… HOW FREAKING HARD IS THAT TO UNDERSTAND!!!
tracey marie December 17th, 2015 at 11:24

Alek Kolchak December 17th, 2015 at 11:31
Every American male and resident alien is required to register with the Selective Service. American men must do so within 30 days of their 18th birthday. Assuming you are a female, t.m., don’t you think that women should also be required to register?

William December 17th, 2015 at 10:43
Wait..what? I thought you were “done with me”
OK
Now you want to defend Trumps draft dodging by asking me about the Presidents draft registration?
Really?
Obama registered for the draft on Sept. 4, 1980, and was given registration number 61-1125539-1.
Worth noting is that nobody in the U.S. has been drafted for military service since 1972, the year Obama turned 11. Obama, like other young men turning age 18 since then, was required to register on a standby basis, in case Congress ever resumes an active military draft. Failure to register is technically a crime, and disqualifies a man for federal student aid or from holding certain federal jobs.
You can look it up for yourself on Factcheck.org. Anything else you need?
I can point you to the birth certificate if you want.
mistlesuede December 17th, 2015 at 10:47

Chris December 17th, 2015 at 16:04
He’ll never address you when he’s wrong.
Just like the Donald, he deflects, deflects, deflects. That’s why he brings up Hillary not pushing for Selective Service registration when you ask him about Trump’s deferment.
It has nothing to do with anything. But it sounds to him like it does since he apparently holds up Trump and Palin as paragons of speech.
William December 18th, 2015 at 09:13
Yeah I did think that his deflection to Hillary not registering for a draft that didn’t exist for women was a bit of a stretch. He was poorly equipped to troll here. Sadly his argument would have been considered lucid on one of the right wing Trump blogs.
Larry Schmitt December 17th, 2015 at 09:17
Since the draft is not active, with no plans to change the status quo, it’s really a moot point.
Alek Kolchak December 17th, 2015 at 09:25
The draft is not inactive. There are severe penalties for failure to register. Educate yourself–look it up. And it’s not moot. Russia is now in Syria. If we institute a no-fly zone in Syria (as Hillary has proposed), we run the risk of a direct conflict with the Russians. If we send combat troops to Syria, women will surely be among those troops. Women are now allowed in the U.S. military’s combat-arms fields. That women should register for draft has the potential of becoming a big issue in 2016. If the Democrats want to dig up Trump’s 40+ plus year draft deferment, I would urge Trump’s people to question Hillary as to whether or not she supports having women register for the draft.
Obewon December 17th, 2015 at 09:33
What’a dope. All of us who didn’t register for draft in the 1970’s were excused. The draft ended January 21st, 1973. D’oh!

Alek Kolchak December 17th, 2015 at 10:24
This poster doesn’t know that Carter reinstated the Selective Service. Here’s an a portion of a Wikipedia article. Obewon might want to read up:
“On July 2, 1980, President Carter signed Proclamation 4771 (Registration Under the Military Selective Service Act) in response to theSoviet invasion of Afghanistan,[20] retroactively re-establishing the Selective Service registration requirement for all 18- to 26-year-old male citizens born on or after January 1, 1960.[21] As a result, only men born between March 29, 1957, and December 31, 1959, were completely exempt from Selective Service registration.[22]
“The first registrations after Proclamation 4771 took place at U.S. Post Offices on Monday, July 21, 1980, for those men born in January, February and March 1960. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays were reserved for men born in the later quarters of the year, and registration for men born in 1961 began the following week.[23]
“In 2014, due to a clerical error at the Pennsylvania Department of Transport, information about 14,250 men born in the years 1893–97 (in addition to 1993–97) was provided to the Selective Service System. Draft registration notices were then sent to the men.[24]”
Larry Schmitt December 17th, 2015 at 11:07
Yes, the Selective Service System is alive and well. No one here disputes that fact. But once again, in big letters, just for you, THERE IS NO DRAFT. Got it? No one is being conscripted into the military service, and hasn’t for over 40 years. The Selective Service System does not equal a draft. It is the machinery that would be used if they have to activate the draft at a future date, so they don’t have to start from scratch. Any other questions?
Alek Kolchak December 17th, 2015 at 11:42
The question is whether or not women should be required, within 30 days of their 18th birthday, to register for the draft, as that is required of every American male and resident-alien male. Why are you opposed to uplifting the status of the American woman? Aren’t American women entitle to be treated equally with American men?
Chris December 17th, 2015 at 15:59
The troll won’t answer because, like his personal savior Donald, he can’t be wrong. That’s why he’s trolling with his proposed nonstarter issue of the draft. Some Republicans like treading water on inconsequential crap.
William December 17th, 2015 at 09:33
So your defense to Trumps draft dodge is a question that has never been posed to Hillary about a draft for women that has never existed?
Nearly as weak as Trumps slithering and skulking response to being asked about his birther crap the other day.
highwaterjane60 December 17th, 2015 at 12:16
It’s about lying to dodge the draft. SMH
Larry Schmitt December 17th, 2015 at 09:35
Registration for the draft is mandatory, but no one has been drafted since 1973. Therefore, the draft is not active. Simple English.
William December 17th, 2015 at 09:37
Yeah..but but..I there was a draft..and um. and if there was one in the sixties and if butter was actually pointed and Hillary didn’t register, then Trump would be your best bet because of Bill Clinton and Serbia.

The penalties for failure to register still exist. And why shouldn’t women have to register, too?
Larry Schmitt December 17th, 2015 at 10:19
Registering does not equal being drafted. And there are way more serious problems to deal with than whether women have to go through the motions of registering for a non-existent draft.

The mainstream media has yet to ask the old witch about her position on females registering for the draft. But, then again, the mainstream media hasn’t asked the old witch many questions about the Clinton foundation, her e-mails, Benghazi, or her health, either.

Hillary Clinton is not a witch. Since I am married to a witch, I know a thing or two about the subject the same way someone married to a Deacon or a Pastor or Reverend or Rabbi would have some insight into those spiritual roles.
So your attempt to present the word “witch” as some kind of negative tells me that your opinions do not deserve further consideration from me.
I will add that after countless hours of Congressional testimony on emails, Benghazi etc etc etc., no sane person can honestly believe that these issues have not been thoroughly investigated.
Bottom line, blaming the media is about the lamest excuse I can imagine for your own inability to demonstrate that Mrs. Clinton is somehow hypocritical on the issue of women in the draft. You are entitled to your opinions. I will stick to facts.
And the fact is that there is no record of Mrs. Clinton opposing the drafting of women, if we have to have a draft at all.
arc99 December 17th, 2015 at 13:18
incidentally, Donald Trump is a year older than Hillary Clinton
I would certainly prefer the old “witch” (if she were one), to the even older a$$hole Trump.
Alek Kolchak December 17th, 2015 at 14:27
The old witch does have a method for extending her life. At least, she thinks she does. Every three days, she drinks an elixir composed of ground-up 24-week-old fetuses laced with the shredded tissue of a human male’s testicles. I understand she’s been using Vince Foster’s testicular tissue since July of 1993, but that source has almost been exhausted.
WYNEMA GONZAGOWSKI December 17th, 2015 at 19:10
Now that is what is legally called libel… But then you would likely not have known that…
granpa.usthai December 17th, 2015 at 14:47
BENGHAZI?
the same BENGHAZI that republican continuous hearings have uncovered “NOTHING!”
that (yawn) BENGHAZI?
I think it’d be much more exciting to continue the search for Obama’s real birth certificate – something your boy had been barking about …..
Chris December 17th, 2015 at 15:56
And you haven’t told us whether you had that pilonidal cyst taken care of, either! Why are you holding out on providing us with this information?
mistlesuede December 17th, 2015 at 10:36
Still difficult for a teatard to comprehend. :)
tracey marie December 17th, 2015 at 11:22
hahaha…trump, christie, rafael have recommended and promised a no fly zone…you really are a pathetic troll.
Alek Kolchak December 17th, 2015 at 11:35
Wrong. Trump and Cruz have not proposed a no-fly zone; however, both have proposed resettling Arab refugees within the Middle East. Krespie Kreme and the old witch, Hillary, have proposed the establishment of a no-fly zone in Syria. The NJ Fatboy even proposes to shoot at Russian aircraft that enter that no-fly zone. I don’t believe the old witch has yet indicated whether or not she’d be willing to shoot down Russian aircraft that enter her no-fly zone. If she hasn’t, I don’t expect the prog-Dem media to press her for an answer.
Chris December 17th, 2015 at 15:54
You truly do not know what the draft is, do you?
Yes, you must register with Selective Service if you’re a guy.
Yes, the draft IS inactive now.
NO, the draft does not exist now. Registering for the draft and having an active draft present are two different things.
Educate yourself. (I can dream.)
mistlesuede December 17th, 2015 at 10:36
I’m sure he does not understand the moot word. It’s above his grade level along with Trumps fourth grade language skills.
tracey marie December 17th, 2015 at 11:21
Deflection Alert.
Alek Kolchak December 17th, 2015 at 11:38
It’s the natural expansion of the topic of the draft. Why limit the discussion to something that might have happened 40-plus years ago? We still have a draft, and that draft still only pertains to males. Since the draft was reinstated by Carter in 1980, the military has changed its policies regarding homosexuals, transexuals, and women in combat. It’s time to discuss whether women will be included under the nation’s draft law. Don’t you agree, tracey?
Chris December 17th, 2015 at 15:50
You should ask Trump to make this part of his policy positions. Push him on it. I’m sure he’ll get a lot of traction out of this.
Seriously, you Republicans can think of wasting time on more nonstarters than anyone. How about voting to upend Obamacare again? Yeah!!!!!
Gina Bousquet December 17th, 2015 at 16:18
There’s this absolutely obvious answer every government on earth knows for your question. At the same prime age men are expected to register to serve their country in the eventuality of being drafted, women are in their best reproductive years, a capability no nation disregards, as they usually prize the bearing of future generations.
Alek Kolchak December 17th, 2015 at 19:06
So the 14th Amendment’s equal-protection clause has a gender-bias in it?
Gina Bousquet December 17th, 2015 at 19:09

That practice goes back to at least the Civil War. You could pay someone else to take your place in the Union Army for only $300. I think that was the amount. Not much has changed, really.
Buford2k11 December 17th, 2015 at 11:07
every time I hear one of these chickenhawks talk about war…I think of my High School friends, with whom I sat with while the draft lottery was on the teevee, Four of the Six, we had to bury…One, disabled and just died from Agent Orange exposure, and One never made it back mentally….I think of these guys and of my other friends who sacrificed in the military, protecting the American Way of Life…None of these candidates will ever be worthy of being Commander in Chief…
rostee67 December 17th, 2015 at 10:03
This is the same Donald (Bone Spur/BS) Trump (R) that when questioned he could not even remember which foot had the Bone Spur/BS, think all Americans know now this is just more of Trump the republican…BS. Wonder if Trump and “Krispy Kreme” Christie (R) share the same doctor, because after all now that “Krispy Kreme” Christie (R) has now joined a slimming club, he has finally found and seen his feet! This guy even had Fat reduction surgery, couldn’t even control his own food intake, just like he couldn’t control a traffic jam (bridge gate).
mistlesuede December 17th, 2015 at 10:31
His equal Kim Jong-un went missing for months a while back. No one knew where he was and what happened to him. He was bloated and obese and limping before that extended vacation from the limelight.
Stephen Colbert did a piece on Trump’s so-called “doctor” last night. Tried to find it for everyone to see, but no luck.
Alek Kolchak December 17th, 2015 at 10:34
In case you haven’t heard, no one is watching Colbert. Probably, Colbert can’t find an audience because he can’t adjust to a Late Night Talk-Show TV format. Colbert thinks he still on the comedy channel.

Trump’s health excellent, except for:
WYNEMA GONZAGOWSKI December 17th, 2015 at 19:07
Indeed… If he is prescribed 81mg of aspirin a day it is likely one of two things… He is either having issues with his blood where an aspirin needs to be taken daily to prevent blood clots or he is having heart issues…

Alek Kolchak December 17th, 2015 at 12:08
The old witch is pushing 70, but she doesn’t look grossly overweight. However her fainting spells rightfully raise concerns about her health.
Larry Schmitt December 17th, 2015 at 12:42
Let me get this straight. He turned 69 in June, and he’s in perfect health. She turned 68 in October, and she’s an “old witch pushing 70.” Double standard much? And remember, women statistically outlive men.
Alek Kolchak December 17th, 2015 at 12:47
He’s an old man and she’s an old witch. Does that help with your confusion?
Julie G December 17th, 2015 at 20:49
For you, why is witch synonymous with woman? You call Trump a man. Why not warlock? Or pr*ck?
Alek Kolchak December 17th, 2015 at 14:30
Not when they’ve been having a series of strokes and have to be prescribed glasses to prevent double-vision, they don’t.
KJB007 December 17th, 2015 at 15:48
Hillary never had a stroke. She had the flu, but kept working through it and fainted. She hit her head and got a contusion (bruise) in her brain behind her right ear. Alex–you’re just plain ignorant. Quit making shit up. But then, your idol is the fabulous liar, Donald Trump.

true, which is why the donald is no match for the leader of DPRK.
not only are the Korean leaders experts at ‘reading facial gestures, they also know how to sedate cowardly screaming girlie boys on or off the golf course.
Alek Kolchak December 17th, 2015 at 12:03
This article is trying to pose the question: “Can Trump be Commander-In-Chief since he might have dodged the draft.”
But in posing that question, another is raised: “Can a woman be Commander-in-Chief who was, herself, exempt from the draft.”
And, in turn, another question comes up: “What is the rationale to continue to exempt women from registering under the current Selective Service Act?”
highwaterjane60 December 17th, 2015 at 12:14
Illogical assumptions, all of them.
Alek Kolchak December 17th, 2015 at 12:49
Only for those with warped thinking.

You answered previously when you said they were “helpless little girls.”
Care to take it back now?
WYNEMA GONZAGOWSKI December 17th, 2015 at 19:04
There is a HUGE difference from being exempt and LYING!!!!!

Either way, the trash was taken out, much too late though. :)

kinda immature for 12, I think – more like in the 5 year old range where he’s so proud he can count to 19 with his shoes off.
here’s a little pop quiz for the screaming girlie boys of the donald:
what’s 1 + 1 = to (hint).
if you guessed 2 (or waited to have your nannie read this to you) – you are correct.
and the secret of the number 2 is that’s exactly how many votes I, and another granma, will be casting for granma POTUS2BHRC come November, 2016.
Boltorama December 17th, 2015 at 15:19

The secret of the Number 2 is not a secret: crap is crap!
Alek Kolchak December 17th, 2015 at 12:16
Of course, helpless little girls have always been exempted from the draft, so Hillary never went through a draft physical. But that raises a question as to whether any woman who has never registered for the draft or ever served in the military has a moral right to be America’s Commander-in-Chief.
And then there’s the question about Hillary’s health. Trump’s health might have legally exempted him from the draft back in the late 1960s (Hubert Humphrey was exempted from military service during WWII because he was color-blind). But Hillary was just recently hospitalized with a serious medical condition involving the circulation of blood within her brain.
Considering that Hillary and Trump are basically the same age (Trump is about 6 months or so older), do the Democrats really want to bring up the issue of the relative health of Hillary versus Donald?
Larry Schmitt December 17th, 2015 at 13:18
One year, four months and twelve days older to be precise. So you’re off by more than 150%.
Alek Kolchak December 17th, 2015 at 14:29
Well, then, I stand corrected, because Trump is much … much older than Witch Hillary.
Danny McNabb December 17th, 2015 at 13:45
We liberals are not worried about Donald Trump’s health he is probably very healthy. We are worried about his cowardice in finding a way to avoid military service himself yet he is fine spouting off on how he is willing to send your kids and mine to war if elected.
Alek Kolchak December 17th, 2015 at 14:05
You’re either a bald-faced liar or totally ignorant. Trump is one of the peace-niks. Trump is fine with letting the Russians kill ISIS. Trump wants to deal with Putin. It’s the Democrats old witch, Hillary, who is a neo-con, and the Republican neo-cons, Rubio, Krespie Kreme, Snarly-Carly and JEB!, who are talking about establishing no-fly zones and punching Putin in the nose.
granpa.usthai December 17th, 2015 at 15:08
my thoughts exactly. What none of the donald’s screaming girlie boys want to comment on is that William Jefferson Clinton wasn’t elected because he was ranting and raving about America’s superior military power being used to crispy fry anyone who refuses to bow down and worship the republiKon potus as god of the world. the donald can go around making bigass statues of himself for his followers to stick their nose in the crack – but that too will fade away just as fast as the donald’s investigators.
Alek Kolchak December 17th, 2015 at 15:29
I’m a bigger man than you anytime, anywhere. You little sissies need a safe space–a blanky where you can suck your thumbs and pretend that all the right-thinking people are with you. You’d better hope I and my people win in 2016, because we are through of putting up with you g.d. scum. If the old witch steals the election in 2016, it comes down to blood. There is no way in hell we will stand for another 4 years of prog-dem stupidity.

“If the GOP loses the presidency through the democratic process for the third time in a row, we Republicans will stamp our feet and threaten secession, showing that we have no respect at all for the Constitution.
“Of course, we would never actually secede because that would interfere with watching ‘Dancing With The Stars.”
FIFY.

It has to do with allowing an OBVIOUS megalomaniac to hold the highest office in this country!!! A man who has openly admitted he won’t follow law or protocol!!!

Why not? Dubya never “served” in the military. And one of our most embarrassing presidents was a third-rate actor starring in blockbusters such as “Bonzo Goes to College”.
.
And we’re not questioning Trump’s health. We just find it extremely coincidental that Trump’s in perfect health – except for the day he went for his draft physical. Kinda reminds me of how Dick Cheney always had some excuse to avoid serving in the military.
Chris December 17th, 2015 at 15:38
Who was comparing Hillary’s health to Trump’s? You brought this up out of thin air.
Everyone was laughing about Trump’s physician and his over-the-top comments. Again, YOU were the one bringing it up. Nobody else.
And, BTW, attacking 1/2 the population as being “helpless little girls” reveals your misogyny. This is a classic example of why the GOP, in its never-ending quest to insult everyone not old, white and male, is going to lose again next November.
granpa.usthai December 17th, 2015 at 15:39
it’s a lot easier for blood to circulate through the cranial cavity when there’s no mass involved.
then again, the USA usually elects (unless it’s a selected republiKon) a VP, just in case of an emergency. All we’ve seen on the donald’s side is a Melanija Knavs Trump. A little Sevnica Slovenian zat speaks mit a hokey zick zerman AK-sent, whereas, most of US already know what a perfect First Gentleman POTUS Willie will be (seeing as to how he’ll only be allowed to enter the Oval Office at the expressed invitation of POTUS2BHRC and always under surveillance by those selected by POTUS2BHRC).
granpa.usthai December 17th, 2015 at 14:36
astonishing that anyone could have fought back and overcome such a genetic blip. He must truly be the world’s healthiest COWARD. (possibly afflicted with the Nugent oopsie syndrome).

A xenophobe from the US. I take it you’re a Trump supporter?
bpollen December 24th, 2015 at 03:20
You intuited xenophobia! That’s amazing! Not only are you obscure, opaque, and – ahem – deeeep, you are able to determine that somebody you have never met nor seen nor actually conversed with suffers from phobias. And also you can determine that somebody is a Trump supporter just because you were labeled a European troll.
Is there no limit to your awesome powers? You’re like a Keith Ablow that makes obscure statements in a semblance of profundity!
Bob Papadazzio December 26th, 2015 at 19:23
Intuited? Actually, no. When someone throws in where you’re from with the implication that it controls your opinion, that is fairly apparent xenophobia clearly illustrated… at least to people who can… you know… read.
But, again, do continue.
bpollen December 28th, 2015 at 01:22
Since Texans are from the same culture and country, it’s not xenophobia. Xenophobia is “intense or irrational dislike or fear of people from other countries.” Unless you a positing that Texas is a separate country. In which case, you also are wrong.
You DO continue to be wrong. Got a streak going, eh?
bpollen December 18th, 2015 at 04:52
So you are saying that if Trump served, he’d kill babies?
Well, if you can’t trust what a Trump drone says, who can ya trust?
Bob Papadazzio December 23rd, 2015 at 16:34
No, that was actually more a commentary on how Vietnam vets don’t get the same respect as, say, WW2 vets.
But please, do continue.
bpollen December 24th, 2015 at 03:11
But thankfully you made your point wonderfully opaque.
How could I have not seen that it was a comment about, say, WWII, when you said that if Trump had served, he wouldn’t have gotten the respect as, say, WWII vets. Since you never mentioned ‘Nam, never mentioned WWII, never mentioned respect. How could I not see what you never mentioned was the actual intent or your post. My bad – I should be able to freakin’ intuit what you intended.
But please, continue with your apparent non-sequiturs that you, post facto, imbue with great meaning. That took you nearly a week to come up with. It’s tap-dancing, but exceptionally SLOW tap-dancing.
Bob Papadazzio December 26th, 2015 at 19:19
Apparent non-sequiturs? You mean like assuming someone is a Trump supporter because they make a comment about the difference in attitudes regarding war vets?
Again… do continue. This is entertaining.
bpollen December 28th, 2015 at 01:24
That’s not a non-sequitur. You are talking about an assumption. A non-sequitur is an entirely different animal. But this one you can look up for yourself. Two posts, two misused words to make points the words don’t support.
Still wrong.
burqa December 18th, 2015 at 21:30

I’m still wondering why he’s on aspirin and a statin if all his labs were “astonishingly excellent.”

At-risk for heart issues and high cholesterol count?

Based on what, if his labs were “astonishingly excellent”?
It doesn’t add up. The doctor has a credibility problem. If he thinks the patient is at high enough risk of a heart attack to justify having him on an aspirin and statin, maybe he should tell us why.

They try to put EVERYONE over 50 on statin and aspirin for the rest of their lives. That way the drug companies get their guaranteed income from millions of people every day. Not defending Trump, he’s a draft dodging hypocrite, just sayin…

Any of you draftees ever got a blood test during the physical ????????? One thing for sure ,if you showed up with two feet ,two hands ,two eyes and could carry a gun ,they didn’t give a damn about cholesterol or any future medical risk ! They knew that you could be killed ,long before any future medical risk ,ever caused a problem !!!!!!

In those day they gave a 2S deferment to draft-aged men who went straight from hs to college and maintained a C average. I think that ended in 1971 or ’72. He may have had a 2S draft status. Not that I’m making any excuses for Herr Trump.

That’s Amerika-Reichsführer Trump to you!
Joe Blow December 17th, 2015 at 20:07
The Reichsfuhrer was Heinrich Himmler, the analogue of whom would be Ted Cruz. Ted, as VP, would report to Der Fuhrer, that’s Der Donald!

And he couldn’t remember which foot…

You mean it was on a foot and not his head?

Well, he’s in good company. Rushbo had a cyst on his butt and avoided serving. OTOH, Randi Rhodes had the same thing and became the Air Force serviceman (servicewoman) of the year.) The difference between liberals and conservatives in a sentence.
