Remember this: The political media has no idea what real news is, because the view everything through the lens of political tactics. That's how you end up with moronic stories like this, in which it's treated as a basis for controversy that someone thinks a candidate's health might be a relevant point of concern in a presidential race.
But that's how political reporting is in America today. Someone questions whether Hillary Clinton is healthy enough to be president, and the story is not about whether she is or isn't, but about the fact that the question was asked in the first place, and how everyone feels about that, and what everyone is saying about that, and how that's playing, and whether that will come back to bite the question askers . . . because basically we're a nation of morons so this is how we talk about things, which explains in part why we make moronic decisions when we elect people to office.
Anyway. If you want to really get a sense of how moronic this story is, ask Sarah Palin:

A post earlier this week showed Franklin Roosevelt walking.We all know the story now about how he fooled the American public,but I have talked to numerous people who recall when he was president.Not a single one of them knew how severely disabled he was,or that he was disabled at all.Each and every one of them said that they would have voted for him regardless.A secret of that magnitude could not be kept with today's technology.Fortunately for all of us some things are simply meant to be.
