How is Clinton going to lead the greatest country in the world if she can't even climb up a set of stairs or hold press conferences?
FDR served for 12 1/2 years and he couldn't walk.
It's almost as if it is more important what the person thinks than how healthy they are. There is a reason why there is a VP in the first place. I know that sounds callous, but it is true. If her health is just that bad, and things go sideways after she's elected, you can look forward to President Tim Kaine.

They also hid the truth from the public.

A 1932 New York Times Magazine profile of the then-Governor of New York described how, at his Hyde Park home, he “wheels around in his chair.” A TIME article from February 1, 1932 said that swimming and exercise “have made it possible for the Governor to walk 100 ft or so with braces and canes. When standing at crowded public functions, he still clings precautiously to a friend’s arm.” Before his inauguration as President in 1933, TIME noted, “Because of the President-elect’s lameness, short ramps will replace steps at the side door of the executive offices leading to the White House.” And a TIME article from December 17, 1934, described a scene in which “bodyguard Gus Gennerich helped the President into his wheel chair, rolled him the length of the West colonnade to the new White House offices.” Another profile, this one in the New Yorker in 1934, stated that “he is almost always pushed to the west end of the White House in a small wheelchair.” Seven years later, on January 20, 1941, LIFE magazine noted that “by 11 o’clock he is up, dressed and on his way in a wheel chair down the long passageway to his office…” (Not that it slowed him down in any way. The headline for the article was “Roosevelt: From Breakfast in Bed to Wisecracks at Movies, President Retains His Bounce after Eight Years.”)
As for incriminating images, it took far more than a “gentlemen’s agreement” for the FDR administration to discourage photos and newsreel film of the president in his wheelchair. Rather, the Secret Service used force. As Editor & Publisher reported in 1936, if agents saw a photographer taking a picture of Roosevelt, say, getting out of his car, they would seize the camera and tear out the film. “By what right they do this I don’t know,” the correspondent wrote, “but I have never seen the right questioned.” A 1946 survey of the White House photography corps confirmed this, finding that anyone the Secret Service caught taking banned photographs “had their cameras emptied, their films exposed to sunlight, or their plates smashed.”
But several of the country’s most powerful publishers—media titan William Randolph Hearst, Time Inc. owner Henry Luce, Chicago Tribune boss Robert McCormick—did not support FDR politically and had no interest in making the President look good. Indeed, in 1937 Luce’s Life magazine disregarded White House rules and published a photo of Roosevelt in a wheelchair. It was shot from a distance, and the figures are not identifiable, but the caption clearly states, “The President is here shown on his way to visit a sick cabinet member at the old-fashioned Naval Hospital on E Street.” Roosevelt’s press secretary was furious and wanted to launch an investigation, as he stated in a memo that is held at the FDR Presidential Library.

Not a problem. One of her doubles takes over whilst she recovers, after consuming one or more of her illegally acquired stem cell abortion milkshakes, al la Christoper Reeve.

Ah, I think you have President Roosevelt mixed up with President Bartlet.

You are aware, no doubt, of the work that Dr. Miles Bennett Dyson did in the field of cybernetic organisms. Dr. Dyson died in an explosion that also conveniently took out his entire lab in 1991 just as Bill Clinton's ascent to the Oval Office began.
Look into it.

The really strange thing is if we weren't in this bizarro world of inbred trailer park residents in charge of the Republican Party Hillary Clinton would be welcomed by the republicans as a great candidate for President, she's a center right wing Democrat, her husband was the most fiscally conservative president in a half century that oversaw the greatest economic boom in a generation.
She's probably the most traditionally republican candidate for President since Nixon.

Fiscally, maybe? Foreign policy, well she is a hawk. Everything else, no.
