80. So...we're supposed to ignore what's actually in this thread

Nov 2015

and instead go by your opinion of the poster....that does not match her behavior in this thread. Where's the not-shying-away from confrontations?

Again, one candidate has actually been hospitalized with a life-threatening problem in the last 3 years. It isn't Sanders. If you want to talk health, we can talk health, but it won't just be Sanders's health.

Or we could notice that all of the candidates seem to be in very good health, and move on to something actually important.

Your call.
