Klobuchar and Buttigieg have yet to release any medical records.

Two of the youngest candidates in the race — Amy Klobuchar, 59, and Pete Buttigieg, 38 — have yet to release any medical records.

You would think they would both release their complete medical records to put pressure on the much older candidates to do the same.

Is there something they don't want us to know about?

1. What we do know is they're not 70+ years old.

I’d say get real but that seems to be beyond the pale

4. Either all or none release their medical records

Doesn't matter if they're 20 or 80.

[bluewater]

8. So why not relase their records to shame the others into doing the same?

Seriously.

Why not do that?

[TwilightZone]

2. They're also not 78 years old with a recent heart attack.

The insinuation that it's the same thing is laughable.

[bluewater]

5. So why not RELEASE their Medical records to PRESSURE the other candidates?

That's a simple thing to do, right?

No excuse not to.

14. I agree with you on this...

The guess would be that Pete in his late 30's would not have any medical issues. So why not release the records?


******This is my personal opinion, I have nothing to back it up**************

Amy has anger issues so she is probably on BP medications. Most people I know that have anger issues are also on some "mental health" medications as well.

3. I am much less worried about the health of a 37-year-old recent military vet

than I am about a 78-year-old man who just had a heart attack. However, I agree that all candidates should release their medical records and I believe they will. Sanders, however, has just said he would not. Why is that?

[bluewater]

7. Then why don't Amy and Pete release their records to put pressure on Sanders and the others?

It's mystifying that they have not done so.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

16. They know they aren't likely to get the nomination, so maybe

they just want to protect their privacy until/if it looks like their chances improve. I would expect them to release the records if they start accumulating delegates, but if someone is the front-runner they'd better cough them up. Especially an old geezer with a heart condition.

6. Maybe if you spent you time promoting Warren along with her other "supporters"

instead of shit like this, maybe her campaign wouldn't be flailing. Just saying.

[bluewater]

9. So explain why Amy and Pete have not released their records. I'll wait right here.

It should be to their advantage to do so, right?




Oh, and your ad hominem deflection is noted.

[William769]

11. Wait as long as you like.

[bluewater]

12. I'll be here all week.

[bucolic_frolic]

10. An indication they really don't expect to win the nomination

IMO

[bluewater]

13. That's the best answer so far.

So they rather keep maximum privacy.

Makes sense.

[bucolic_frolic]

15. Makes sense to keep privacy for future candidacy too

If they release now, they establish a baseline to judge future medical releases. Oh! LOOK at that deterioration! Falling apart since 2020!

17. The DNC should issue a ruling : release your medical records within 14 days

or you will be disqualified. It's not that hard.

[bluewater]

20. +1000

[Blue_Tires]

18. The other two candidates had heart attacks?

[bluewater]

19. Again, that's more of a reason for Pete and Amy to release their own records

so they can demand that all the candidates do the same.

It seems like common sense to do that, right?

[Blue_Tires]

21. Or they're just waiting for St. Bern to lead by example

If he wants to run our whole damn show, there won't be any more disappearing acts, and no more sniping from the sidelines... The buck starts and ends with HIS ass and he'd better start acting like it.

[bluewater]

22. Then they missed a golden oppurtunity to hold his feet to the fire.

Honestly, it's inexplicable that Amy and Pete have not released their own medical records.

There is simply no good reason for them not to, right?

Very strange.

[LizBeth]

23. Sanders has not released medical records either. He released three notes from doctors.

Amy and Pete never made a promise to the American voters they would release before a first vote because it is the fair thing to do, like Sanders did.
