This is Getting Crazy -- Hillary Has to Release Her Health Records

Today, Hillary Clinton went to the memorial ceremonies at Ground Zero in lower Manhattan for the victims of 9-11.  Donald Trump was there also.  It was appropriate that both attended the somber ceremony.  Then Hillary left early.  As she was leaving she had some sort of medical episode.  Here's how the article in the New York Post puts it:

The Democratic presidential nominee appeared to faint on her way into her van and had to be helped by her security, the source said. She was “clearly having some type of medical episode.”
Clinton’s stumbled off the curb, her “knees buckled” and she lost a shoe as she was helped into a van during her “unexpected early departure,” a witness told Fox News.

With all the recent discussion of Hillary's health problems, she really needs to release her medical records.  From the 1960s until 2008, all candidates routinely released their medical records to the public.  It was a response to the hidden health problems that John Kennedy suffered.  Then in 2008, candidate Obama released only a letter from his doctor attesting to his health.  That led to speculation that Obama had been treated for mental illness or drug addiction in the past, but it was just speculation.  Now, however, there is more than speculation.  Hillary told the FBI that she had a period of time when she was secretary of state for which she had no memories because she had suffered a concussion.  She has the rather frequent coughing fits on the stump.  She blames the coughing on allergies, but not many people have allergy attacks from pollen in New Hampshire in the winter like she did.  She's off the campaign trail more often than she's on it; stories keep saying she's resting.  Now she's fainted at a 9-11 ceremony.  It's safe to say she wasn't overcome by emotion; after all, she's still Hillary.  So what is going on.

Clinton really needs to release her medical records.  Either she's fit for office or not.  America can't afford to elect a president who can't function because of health problems.
