Reply #29: There was a lot of speculation after the 3rd debate

[s-cubed]

(I think it was the third, where his face looked like that, and where he had some spittle on his mouth), that he had had a stroke. Some MDs said, yes, but that there were a few other things as well that could do that, such as Bell's palsy.

If you put together the different speculations and facts: the drug and alcohol abuse, the bulge, the falls, the pretzel, the family history of Graves disease and heart problems, the recent pics of him strugling to get out of a vehicle, the degradation of his mental abiilities from 10 years ago, etc., it is pretty likely that he has a heart problem and that he has been wearing a portable defibrillator for quite some time. Since I'm not an MD, I can't remember quite how the causality works out, but I think it is that both alcohol & drug abuse as well as the heart problem can cause these mini strokes, the heart problem is hereditary (no pun intended). Also, he has been observed "geeking" a term used to describe a peculiar lower jaw motion which is characteristic of cocaine abusers. In orther words, not only do we have a heartless bastard in the office, we have one is probably losing mental capacity everytime he gets on of these mini-strokes: and he doesn't have much to spare.

I don't have the links, but a little googling on * bulge, would get you stated. I saw an article not too long ago by a doctor that discusses all this a lot, but didn't bookmark it. That ought to keep you busy for a while!;)
