Would anyone actually accept Donald Trump's accountant if he made a statement as to the status of Donald Trumps tax returns? Of course not. Every one left of Rush Limbaugh would demand to actually see the returns and have other accountants look them over.
So why is it that we are supposed to "accept" that Hillary Clinton is in perfect health, just because her doctor says so? Shouldn't she also be required to actually release her medical records (all history, medications, test results) and have other doctors look them over?
Btw: Donald Trumps accountant made no such statement. But he could. Hillary could be hiding her medical records as often reported. But is she?

no one has tried to hide poor physical health this hard since FDR.
His taxes are being hidden for a reason. If they weren't harmful, he would have already
But what's really going on in the background, is that there is increasing pressure on the RNC to no longer support Trump and try and find a way to to keep control of the congress.
Now i have to see the new letter that's being released now, one that says they might want to prosecute for indict Clinton.
Roger
By the exact same logic... then you would also have to conclude that Hillary's medical records are also being hidden for a reason. If they were not harmful, then she would have already released them.
Or are you being hypocritical again?
Holding Trump to a different standard than you do Hillary?
Her doctor said she's in good health. Medical health is private. This isn't FDR. Nor is it the press ignoring JFK's pool and sex parties. They got to participate. Go figure why.
I don't think it's nearly as important than the taxes.
Every candidate since Nixon released their taxes. You know darn well he doesn't want to release them. It would blow up in his face.
Oh, and John McLaughlin passed away today. He was 89.
No Roger...
The health of two candidates nearing 70 years old who want to be President... is not "Private". If either of them want that sort of Privacy, then they can drop out of the race and they can have all the privacy in the world.
And whether or not someone is healthy enough to be President is infinitely more important than what percentage of taxes they paid to the Government. Health has an actual real tangible effect on their ability to actually do the job... Taxes have nothing to do with it.
I am pretty sure John McCain released all of his medical records. Everything from his war injuries, to colon problems, to melanoma, to all of his medications.
I remember the media combing over them...
Hillary gave $1,000,000.00 dollars to her fav Charity, yep, the Clinton Crime Family Foundation, and the kicker, She took that cool $1 million as a tax right off.
Sticking it to the little guy/gal is what the Clintons do.
John McLaughlin passed away today. He was 89. "
Finally some good news.
I never have understood the releasing of tax records to the public. They are one of the most private matters one has, yet, some put it out and are completely embarrassed by it.
Remember when Hillary deducted her used underwear, I do, they have zero shame and the left loves them for it, but , really tax sheltering a Million dollars by giving to yourself, no shame, zero.
I remember the media combing over Hillary's medical records too...
or do I remember it?
Hillary gave $1,000,000.00 dollars to her fav Charity, yep, the Clinton Crime Family Foundation, and the kicker, She took that cool $1 million as a tax right off.
And the million dollars was used to pay salaries of their friends, pay for big galas, and pay for Private Jets.
McLaughlin passing away is good news?
Clinton tested negative in a full cardiac evaluation, and in her cancer screenings, the letter said.
Past Health Issues
Clinton suffered from a deep vein thrombosis in 1998 and in 2009, and an elbow fracture, also in 2009, Bardack wrote.
In December 2012, while Clinton was secretary of state, she suffered a stomach virus after traveling. She became dehydrated, fainted and sustained a concussion.
Follow-up evaluations found that Clinton had transverse sinus venous thrombosis, which occurs when a blood clot forms and prevents blood from draining out of the brain. She then began anticoagulation therapy to dissolve the clot, Bardack wrote.
Clinton also experienced double vision after sustaining the concussion, and had to wear glasses with a Fresnel Prism. Concussion symptoms and her eyesight problems were resolved within a couple of months and she no longer had to wear the special glasses. In 2013, testing revealed that she had completely recovered from the effects of the concussion, as well as the dissolution of the thrombosis.
Medication
The presidential candidate is on medications including Armour Thyroid, Vitamin B12, and Coumadin, which is for blood clots, Bardack wrote last year. Clinton tested negative for all clotting disorders, but is taking the medication as a precaution, the letter explains. In 1998, Clinton was advised to take Lovenox, a short-acting blood thinner, which she took during long flights. She stopped taking Lovenox when she began taking Coumadin.
Lifestyle
Overall, Clinton “participates in a healthy lifestyle,” Bardack wrote. Clinton is a non-smoker, occasionally drinks alcohol, does not use illegal drugs or tobacco products, the letter says. The Democrat maintains a healthy diet which is rich in lean protein, fruits and vegetables. She workouts regularly by doing yoga, swimming, walking and does weight training.
Family History
Clinton’s father lived until his 80s and passed away from a stroke, while her mother lived into her 90s and died from congestive heart failure. One of her two brothers had premature heart disease, and her daughter, Chelsea, and granddaughter, Charlotte, are both healthy.
Clinton’s health check-ups, which included a normal colonoscopy, gynecologic exam, mammogram, and breast ultrasound, were up to date, the doctor said.
“She is in excellent physical condition and fit to serve as President of the United States,” concluded Bardack.
I watched McLaughlin for years. I enjoyed his show on PBS. R. I. P.
Read the letter right here CH. It's detailed and signed by her doctor.

We know she suffers from Hypothyroidism
Symptoms include
Fatigue
Weakness
Weight gain or increased difficulty losing weight
Coarse, dry hair
Dry, rough pale skin
Hair loss
Cold intolerance
Muscle cramps and frequent muscle aches
Constipation
Depression
Irritability
Memory loss
Abnormal menstrual cycles
Decreased libido
So a irritable constipated balding 69 year old person who cannot remember her abnormal menstrual cycles due to depression and fatigue, should in her weakened state of muscle cramps be the person we want running the country?
Just curious...
Ronald Reagan had Alzheimer's in his second term, and they knew it. It was evident in one of his debates. The possible problems are in this report, but they are not guaranteed. She does not exhibit insane, compulsive and irrational statements as Trump have. So yes, she is a person I can support. Everyone has possible problems. Trump has symptoms of several mental conditions that have been documented by psychiatrists. Does that bother you?
Just curios.
Roger read my comment from 6:05 and the last part of the post.
You were defending her "not" turning over her medical records as being "private" - when in fact, she had actually turned over at least a summary of her health.
I was very curious if you would still defend her. In fact you did.
I was more expecting Indy or WP to actually do the research you didn't.
Btw: Donald Trumps accountant made no such statement. But he could. Hillary could be hiding her medical records as often reported. But is she?
Ronald Reagan had Alzheimer's in his second term, and they knew it.
Actually he wasn't diagnosed with Alzhemers till 1994 when he was 83. Unless they could see into the future, I don't believe "they knew it".
Fellow billionaire Warren Buffett said, “Donald Trump, at one point, said that he can’t release his tax returns because he is under audit. Now I’ve got news for him, I’m under audit too! And I would be delighted to meet him anyplace, anytime, between now and election. I’ll bring my tax return, he can bring his tax return, nobody is going to arrest us. There are no rules against showing your tax returns, and we’ll just let people ask us questions about the items that are on there.
Buffett continued,
“How many of you would be afraid for your tax returns to be made public? No. You’re only afraid if you got something to be afraid about. He’s not afraid of the IRS. He’s afraid because of you. So send the word to him if you will.”
Buffett didn’t stop there, he went on to attack Trump’s business record,
“You know the history of his enterprises where he was borrowing money. Where one time after another where he went into bankruptcy.” Buffet continued to laughter by the audience, “I’ve really never known another businessman who brags about his bankruptcies. To tell you the truth, why not, it is his claim to stardom.”
‘Have you no sense of decency, sir?’ and I ask Donald Trump, ‘Have you no sense of decency sir?’”
Seriously it doesn't matter?
Actually he wasn't diagnosed with Alzhemers till 1994 when he was 83.

to paraphrase a familiar quote -
the think progress/move on/daily kos/occupy democrats lies make it halfway around the world before the truth even gets its pants on.
if you were to watch the pbs american experience program on reagan last night like i did, you'd know that reagan's manner of speaking in public slowed, became more deliberate, and his words chosen more carefully after he was shot. the near death experience drove his closer to his religion, and had a profound effect on his demeanor in the aftermath.
the piece in it's entirety was not kind to reagan, and was condescending with the subtle snark that liberals just can't resist thrown in for good measure.
Note Roger ignored the fact he was caught making up shit about Reagan's alzheimers.
What explains cankles vertigo issues?
She "could" be hiding her health records. "Could."
He "is" hiding his tax records. "Is."
He is not hiding them, by US Law he reports to the IRS, which he has.
To tell you this might be news to you given you think the USA is not a Republic.
HB, you have looked on the internet and actually found Warren Buffets tax returns?
Buffet is easy to understand IF you know about business at all, which you don't, he wants Hillary because he is heavily invested in trains that transport OIL from Canada to the USA, he is very much about getting richer, you supporting the Elite rich is a turn, you turned as Obama became a multi-millionaire and while Hillbillies went from "Dead Broke" to being in the top 1 percent.
You support her taking a $1 million dollar tax deduction in which she showed as "Charity" when in fact it was a cash transfer from her right suit pants pocket to her right as she "gave" that "donation" to herself. I really thought a part of her platform was for the Elites to "pay their fair share" yet, she pull this shit.
I guess his accountant should read the front page article about trump and taxes how his buddy christie basically allowed trump to pay 17 cents on the dollar for state taxes owed by his great casinos that lost money and paid him millions in fees for his great leadership. What a joke you and trump are, CH.
She "could" be hiding her health records from the electorate. "Could."
He "is" hiding his tax records from the electorate. "Is."
