Andrea Mitchell: Is Hillary Clinton ‘doping’ at debate to cover ‘a problem with her health’?

MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell (screen grab)


MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell asked the Clinton campaign on Wednesday to respond to Donald Trump’s baseless claim that Hillary Clinton is using performance enhancing drugs to defeat him in the debates.

Just hours before the third presidential debate in Las Vegas, Mitchell pushed Clinton campaign press secretary Brian Fallon to defend the Democratic candidate’s health.


“Donald Trump says that she’s got no stamina, that she’s got health problems,” Mitchell observed, “maybe she was doping before the other debate, she should take a drug test.”

“She has been off the campaign trail for five days,” the MSNBC host continued. “Is she doing a lot of resting? Is there a problem with her health?”

“No, she’s been prepping for the debate,” Fallon replied. “We have been quite forthright about the fact that she takes these debates seriously. And I think you see in the strength of her performance thus far that that prep has counted for a lot.”.....................

the false description spread by the right of the interaction between the State Department and the FBI regarding classification of an e-mail. I was surprised. She also didn't mention Hillary's name even once while she set the record straight.

Maybe mood swings might explain it...?

if I was head of the DNC, she would not get the time of day from hereon. She can go interview Trump all the hell she wants & see what that gets her.

I have never even seen Mitchell get through a sentence without tripping over words or stuttering or whatever it is but she is horrible at talking.

manipulative and mean-spirited news hosts out there.

She does not come across as a very nice person and she most certainly is not a good reporter or analyst.

Does anybody remember the character Rosa Klebb from the Bond flick From Russia With Love?

Maybe the news media would reward a hacker if they hacked her emails.

...I've wondered about Andrea Mitchell's health. Her speech has become more and more hesitating. Is she okay? Sometimes, I expect her to completely lose her train of thought. She does, still, appear capable of recovering and completing questions and sentences. If it gets worse, she really should retire and slow down. I want Andrea to be healthy enough to watch Hillary's Presidency!

to believe that using drugs
is going to improve anyone's debate performance.

Unless they gave Trump something that would shut him up completely,
that'd be an improvement for him.
