Last fall, Bernie Sanders had a heart attack. After that, he promised to release all his medical records before the first American voted in a primary. Well, the Iowa caucus came and went -- no medical records came forth from Bernie. Now we are getting to the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday and there are still no medical records. This morning Sanders told NBC News that he isn't going to release those records. He says that once you start releasing the records, there will never be a stopping point.
Think about that. How voluminous can Sanders' medical records be? If he released all his medical records, the obvious stopping point would come once they all were released. Bernie is just using a phony excuse.
So does this mean that some problem has appeared with Bernie's health? It sure would seem that way. Particularly since at the moment Sanders' closest competitor is Buttigieg who is young and vital, it would be a major problem for Bernie to release records that show he is at risk for further heart problems.
This is actually a good test to see if the mainstream media is really anti-Bernie. If, later today and tomorrow there is a big amount of coverage of Bernie's backtracking on his promise to release his medical records, then you know that the media is truly anti-Bernie. Normally, for a Democrat, this is the sort of thing that gets no coverage. If the media hammers Bernie on it, then you know that it came as a talking point from the DNC.
