Clinton speaks at a rally in Charlotte, N.C., July 5, 2016. (Reuters photo: Brian Snyder) by Ben Shapiro September 14, 2016 4:00 AM What is she supposed to be good at, exactly? Hillary Clinton is obviously unwell. We don’t know just how unwell she is because she keeps lying about it. Over the past several weeks, here is the chain of explanation for Hillary’s coughing attacks and frequent absences from the campaign trail: She’s fine; she has allergies; she’s overheated; she’s fine again — see, she even hugged a child!; oops, she had pneumonia; there was a bug that ravaged the Hillary campaign, and she was brave enough to soldier it out; she’s fine. Also, Hillary informed Americans that she has only fainted “twice that I can recall,” then added, “It is something that has occurred a few times over the course of my life, and I’m aware of it and usually can avoid it.” Bill Clinton then helpfully added on Charlie Rose, “frequently — well, not frequently, rarely — but on more than one occasion, over the last many, many years, the same sort of thing happened to her when she got severely dehydrated.” If that seems somewhat opaque to you, welcome to the crowd. In the absence of honest information, conspiracy theories have bloomed: Hillary’s got Parkinson’s disease; she’s suffering from a primary disease and the pneumonia is a secondary infection; she’s traveling with covert nurses and doctors; she’s Patient Zero in a zombie outbreak. But nothing is too implausible now that it’s clear Hillary was lying again. Conspiracy theories cannot flourish without a cover-up. And Hillary’s knee-jerk tendency toward Nixonian cover-ups means that her campaign is plagued with hints of scandal. Even the media, forced into a shotgun marriage with her, now feel uncomfortable with Hillary. Chris Matthews of MSNBC, Hillary acolyte and The Man Who Combs His Hair With His Shoe™, stated that Hillary has a “propensity to release news only when releasing it had grown to be the only option,” and ripped her for her strategy of “rolling disclosure, admitting to the truth only when the truth is out in the public already.” Former top Obama adviser David Axelrod lamented, “It’s not health, it’s stealth, that is the problem that she has to deal with.” Even the Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza, who spent last week asking whether we could stop talking about Hillary Clinton’s health, now acknowledges that her health is a real issue, criticizing her “obsession with secrecy driven by paranoia of the media.” Cillizza, a Clinton booster, concluded, “Always a lean toward secrecy and obscuring rather than openness and transparency — amid a bevy of poll numbers that show somewhere between 55 percent and 65 percent of the American public do not believe the words ‘honest’ or ‘trustworthy’ apply to her.” All of this has ramifications beyond the election. Say, for the sake of argument, that Hillary becomes president. Many commentators worry deeply that she’ll be a continuation of Obama’s legacy — an ideologue unchained, free to run roughshod over the Constitution. But the chances of that prediction’s coming true depend not on her radical leftism, but on her competence. She must be good at perverting institutions. She must be skilled at manipulating public opinion. She must be capable of leveraging the public and the media. She isn’t. Poster Comment: Incompetence that the people cannot see and are unaware of could bring the ruination of the country, that is if Obummer does not collapse it before she gets her chance.
