the place where war mongering is kept, the part she uses to negotiate with brutal dictators, the part where she thinks $250,000 is middle class, the part where she thinks some people should just die because it's not worth getting health insurance for them, and the part where she is afraid to disembark from planes in Bosnia because she thinks she is being shot at.

There are also reports of her fainting and such. She was seriously ill for a time.

I don't think that's particularly ominous though, if it was related to the concussion. Even if they just happened to find it at that time, she is likely on blood thinners to prevent recurrence.

My mother-in-law had a full stroke, but recovered and lived another 20 years (until age 90) without incident.

Small blood clots are not uncommon with concussions. They usually go away on their own, no stroke involved.

Some people here should get a life.

Yes, you're correct--team Hillary brought it up. Don't like it? You should write to her campaign and ask them to cut it out.

attack on Bernie...attack....Demanding his health records when in fact Hillary Clinton's health may be in question as far as being fit to serve as President of the United States

So this is twice Hillary has attacked Bernie Sanders and both times she has failed miserably.
Would you like to go for three or is Bill getting a little tired.

Which adds a genetic component. She requires lifelong treatment of anticoagulants which causes additional problems. She should not be allowed to even run let alone allowed to the highest position of all. She is HIGH RISK.

Open another can of worms Hillary?

She's had two. They were not related to the concussion. Her father also died of a stroke, so there's a family history.

Which is what her father died from. She is on lifelong blood thinning medication which poses additional problems.

I think perhaps she will regret opening gthis can of worms.

As mentioned above, those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Or, in this case, should ask their friends not to throw them at their neighbors.
