Is Hillary being honest with us?

-

Anyone who has had the misfortune to experience, and recover from, pneumonia will be aware that the process takes weeks, not days, before one is able to exert oneself in the full rudeness of health again. This will be especially true of a woman of almost 69 with a recent history of health problems, such as Hillary Clinton.

Yet we are asked to believe that after keeling over last Sunday with what we were told was pneumonia, Mrs Clinton was able to be back on the campaign trail by Thursday. This medical miracle is rather like breaking one’s leg but turning out to play football four days later.

I suspected Mrs Clinton was in big trouble against Donald Trump even before whatever she has wrong with her became public knowledge last week. This is another nail in her political coffin – and undermines still further her already threadbare reputation for honesty.
