AAPS Doctors Run Survey On Hillary Clinton's Health (prnewswire.com)
schwit1 PR Newswire: Concerns about Hillary Clinton's health are "serious -- could be disqualifying for the position of President of the U.S.," say nearly 71% of 250 physicians responding to an informal internet survey by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS). About 20% said concerns were "likely overblown, but should be addressed as by full release of medical records." Only 2.7% responded that they were "just a political attack; I have confidence in the letter from her physician and see no cause for concern." While more than 81% were aware of her history of a concussion, only 59% were aware of the cerebral sinus thrombosis, and 52% of the history of deep venous thrombosis. More than 78% said the health concerns had received "not enough emphasis" in the media, and only 2.7% that there had been "too much emphasis." Nearly two-thirds said that a physician who had a concern about a candidate's fitness to serve for health reasons should "make the concerns known to the public." Only 11% said a physician should "keep silent unless he had personally examined the patient," and 10% that the candidate's health was "off limits for public discussion." A poll of 833 randomly selected registered voters by Gravis Marketing showed that nearly half (49%) were not aware of the "well documented major health issues that Hillary Clinton has." Nearly three-fourths (74%) were unaware of Bill Clinton's statement that Hillary suffered a "terrible" concussion requiring "six months of very serious work to get over." The majority (57%) thought that candidates should release their medical records.
Part of me perversely hopes you Trump fans get what you want. Because you're not going to get what you think you're getting, and it mildly bugs me that you are all so fucking stupid.
I do not want your cheap brainburning drugs. They are useless for work. And I am a working man today.
"Think for yourself", meaning take your unattributed quotes as fact without question? Your quote doesn't appear anywhere in that article, only appears in the Wikipedia article (taken from a Time magazine article) and is apparently part of an ongoing revision-debate on the article.
So anyone who doesn't take you at your word is a lazy unthinking fuckwit?
You sleazy overly-political types should really be the first up against the wall.
You mean you don't trust a neocon "physicians" group? Here is what AAPS is:
"The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) is a politically conservative non-profit association founded in 1943 to "fight socialized medicine and to fight the government takeover of medicine"
==================
Is your doctor a member?
Are membership lists public?
How would you know?
but even if he (Trump) doesn't go senile in office,
Why wait to worry about that. He (conveniently) can't remember saying things that are -- literally -- on video tape *now* -- like supporting the war in Iraq (video w/Howard Stern) and military intervention in Libya (video w/Matt Lauer). Though, to be fair, even Matt Lauer didn't remember Trump supporting the latter, despite The Daily Show Uncovers Video with Trump Telling Lauer He Supports War on Libya
Rush Limbaugh apparently forgot that he, himself was strung out on oxycodone while he was bashing drug abusers on his radio show. Or, maybe that's just the conservative way: "do as I say, not as I do."
Well that settles it then. Trump's own physician for the past 39 years stated, "Mr. Trump has had a recent complete medical examination that showed only positive results", and that, "If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency". I'm sure this AAPS survey is completely unrelated and has no part in any campaign plans.

That thing reads like something Trump would have written himself. Try reading it while doing an impression of him - it's "astonishingly excellent". "His physical strength and stamina are extraordinary".
I'm no fan of Clinton either, but I don't think she'll have any problem surviving another 4 years. Then again, I was hoping to vote for Bernie, so my bar is a tad low in that regard.
he's successful, in large part, because he knows what to sell, how to sell, and how to get it done.
He's "successful" because he started out with an enormous pile of money and hasn't burned through it all yet. If he had stuck it in an index fund and done nothing at all creative with it, he'd have seen better returns than any of his actual endeavors.
