coach, i've been on the 'hilary is sick' bandwagon longer than you.
i was a birther before you. i was a 'trump is a plant' proponent before you finally catch on.
She's had slurring speech today, that's troubling. But the stumble to a lower step, that didn't look to be anything but not seeing there was a step there. I think she's medically unfit for office but I don't think this 'stumble' does anything but discredit that opinion. same with that weak daily caller article about her saying she's campaining til collapse.
stop falling for the dumb shit, coach. hilary is medically unfit but you cannot keep up the sensational BS about it. Just stick with plainly obvious stuff, like her slurring he words, seizures, etc.
No person near the age of 70 should be president in any country. Neurocognitive decline starts at about 21 years of age and accelerate at about 70 years of age (at an aggregated statistical level). Some people have faster decline than others and some have pathological ageing with Alzheimer pathology og Lewy-body pathology or vascular pathology contributing to faster decline.
The subtle decline in neurocognition (episodic memory, attention/executive function, cognitive speed, fine motor control etc.) is offset by accumulation of expertise, also called crystallised intelligence. In the field of any occupation that does not require optimal neurocognition or physical prowess, crystallised intelligence can lead to optimal performance about in the 40s or 50s. Politics would be a good example.
However, at 70, neurocognition is in decline, the senses are in decline- the body is in decline and there is great risk of physical illness. Unfortunately, political processes contribute to the selection of physical unfit candidates who are far to old to function well in this highly stressful job. I have read the Ronald Reagen showed signs of cognitive deficits at the end of his presidential period. Luckily, Reagen was wiser than many gave him credit for and listened to his advisors.
Look here for a nice overview regarding this field:

Ps. Old age is a killer long before you are dead. To get an idea about the cognitive capacity of an old person (above 70), imagine that you could take the brain of a 70-year old and insert it in a 20 year old body. Anyone seeing the slow movement, lack of fine motor precision, lack of cognitive flexibility in dealing with new technology, etc, would think that the person was seriously ill/abnormal.
