The only criticism I have against her based on her health is merely the fact that it shows how power hungry she is. Here's this old lady who's health is declining and starting to fail her, and yet she's still fighting for the most powerful role you can possibly have in this country when she should be more concerned about taking care of herself.
None of this is to say Trump is a better choice though. I find them both equally unfit. I'll be voting 3rd party this year.
So nice to respond to a post from you, Cath_y. The part I bolded reminds me of an exchange I had with the professor of a "Women in Film" course I took in college. This was a while ago so when she said something regarding the presidency like "I don't see why they don't give women a chance given the puffed up egos of all the men candidates we've had", I was taken aback. My point then was that the presidency isn't handed out on the basis of their humanity or merit. Power is the kind of thing which must be seized with effort. If it were handed out on the basis of humanity there would still be men in the running, they just wouldn't have been any of our past presidents. Mahatma Ghandi would have qualified as much as Mother Teresa in that regard.
