Bill Clinton appears listless, disconnected during AZ rally
2016-03-21
[American Mirror] Bill Clinton is deteriorating before our eyes.

The former president appeared in Tucson and Phoenix on Sunday and during an introduction by Mark Kelly, Clinton stood expressionless, seemingly chewing on his tongue with his mouth agape.

Kelly, and his wife, former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, appeared with Clinton. As Kelly launched attacks against Republican front runner Donald Trump, Clinton stared off into the crowd. He looked at the floor, his mouth hanging open.

As the audience cheered for Kelly’s lines, Clinton stood motionless. Even Giffords smiled and nodded affectionately.

The campaign trail -- and perhaps other factors -- have clearly taken a toll on Clinton.

While campaigning in Iowa in January to rescue Hillary’s floundering presidential campaign, the former president’s hand could be seen trembling while he was making a point.

As he was explaining his wife’s rationale for invoking 9/11 to defend her ties to Wall Street, Clinton said, "She was making the point that the people devastated on 9/11 were people to her, not categories."

Watch his left hand at the :30 mark:

In 2013, Clinton denied having Parkinson’s.

"I have a condition that sometimes you get with aging," Clinton said at the time, the Huffington Post reported. "You may have noticed it; my hand has a little tremor when I’m tired and a lot of people do when they’re older."

"The first time it happened, I had to go get myself checked to make sure I didn’t have Parkinson’s [disease]," he said.

He said his doctor claimed he didn’t though Clinton didn’t say what condition he has.

#10  Dr. McGillicuddy.

And to be fair, EU6305 has a valid point.

#9  Clinton went on a vegan diet after the quad bypass surgery. Can't be helping.

His mouth also hangs open.

Youthful drug usage catching up? Or TIA's.

Hillary also has a very odd treatment regimen for hypothyroidism. Perhaps they are attended to by Dr. Duck.

#8  Maybe he isn't getting enough lately.

Sleep, that is. Get your mind out of the gutter.

#6  He's at a Hillary rally - I'd expect everyone there to appear listless and disconnected.

#5  Neither one of them is young, and I get the impression that they are distracted by a lot of side issues (ahem, fbi investigation, ahem) that is soaking up energy needed for campaigning. As they deserve to be.

#4  He has not looked well to me for about a year and a half, and continues to lose weight.

Skid, I think Maria is way too old for his liking.

#3  He needs to up his dosage of meldonium.
Maybe talk to Maria.

#2  Or maybe Hildabeast cut off his hooker supply during the campaign?

#1  Yes, it looks like something is going on.

If his brain was deprived of O2 for any appreciable length of time during his heart surgery, problems could have manifested themselves.

Am sure "The Beast" has factored the numbers that a state funeral could produce.
