Hillary Clinton appears on Between Two Ferns.

Hillary Clinton appeared in aBetween Two Ferns online interview with Zach Galifianakis, roasting her opponent Donald Trump and taking some awkward questions posed by her Funny Or Die host.

In one jab at Trump, Clinton responded to a question posed by Galifianakis n preparation for the first general election debate this Monday. The comedian first asked Clinton what she would be wearing on the New York stage.

I have no idea, so if youve got suggestions, Im open to them, she responded, but not before noting the double standard of women forced to ponder their wardrobe choices ahead of a presidential debate.

Galifianakis then asked what she thought Trump might wear to their face-off.

I assume hell wear that red power tie, she said.

Or maybe like a white power tie? Galifianakis quipped.

Clinton, who has criticized Trump for his racially-tinged comments on the campaign trail, responded: Thats even more appropriate.

The former secretary of state also vowed that if Trump ever did win the White House, she wouldnt try to flee the country.

I would stay in the United States, Clinton said. I would try to prevent him from destroying the United States.

Clinton didnt get off tooeasy in the interview, with Galifianakis making irreverentremarks about Clinton as the first girl president and alluding to her email controversy and previous friendlyrelationship with the Trump family. He also asked her how many words per minute she types and how the president likes his coffee.

You were saying before we were rolling you wanted to take away everyones guns? Cool, Cool, cool, Galafianakis said to Clinton at one point.I really regret doing this, Clinton deadpanned in response.

Clinton, who taped the interview earlier this month on the day she was diagnosed with pneumonia, isnt the first politician to sit down between two ferns. President Obama did so in 2014 to push the Affordable Care Act.

WikiLeaks has been Hillary Clintons worst nightmare for months, but they just dropped the biggest bombshell yet: They have released emails which confirm just how serious Hillary Clintons debilitating health issues are.

First we learned, Hillary Clinton reached out to the NFL Commissioner in 2012 to ask for advice about dealing with her "cracked head" and head injuries.

But the details are even worse than that. It has been confirmed that the State Department staff, under Hillary Clinton, was told to research new drugs to treat Parkinsons disease.

Just why would a government employee at Hillarys State Department be researching this topic? Wikileaks reports, you decide:

Provigil is often used to help such patients stay awake and curb extended bouts of sleep. The drug is also used to treat narcolepsy.

In a series of emails spanning from August to Oct. 2011, Clinton asks and receives information from her trusted inner circle on the drug Provigil, including the side effects of the pick-me-upper drug favored by long-haul truckers to stay awake for long periods of time.

Clinton refuses to release her medical records to the public. Last week, True Pundit placed a $1 million reward on the release of her full medical history. Clinton is now rumored to be suffering from a plethora of medical ailments, including: dementia, post-concussion syndrome, Parkinsons Disease, brain tumor, brain injury, complex partial seizures, and many more alleged ailments.

This email is the smoking gun that confirms just what Hillary Clinton is desperately covering up:

Multiple doctors have expressed concerns publicly about Clintons signs of Parkinsons. Even Dr. Drew is worried.

Health issues should generally be private matters, but the American people deserve to know if a potential Commander-in-Chief is suffering from serious diseases. There is no cure for Parkinsons, and if Hillary Clinton has it she should drop out of the race now.

... suffering from a minor case of dementia, post-concussion syndrome, Parkinson' Disease, brain tumor, brain injury, complex partial seizures, and many more ailments ... but otherwise in perfect health ... and able to power through!

Par. 3a: Blurred or double vision, and eye strain, because the eyes may have trouble moving together to focus on things traveling toward or away from a person

http://www.pdf.org/en/vision_parkinson

Par. 3: There are three fundamental types of eye movements. The saccadic eye movements are the rapid eye movements that redirect our gaze to pick up an object of interest. They are also important in following the lines of a printed page. Pursuit eye movements stabilize the object on our retina and follow it as it moves slowly through space. Vergence eye movements serve to move the eyes in different directions (either together, which is convergence, or apart, which is divergence), keeping an image stable on our retina as it moves toward or away from our eyes. This type of eye movement helps us avoid double vision. In Parkinsons disease, the saccades tend to be slow (or hypometric) and show delayed initiation.

Sigh. Lets keep it real, people.

Provigil (Modafinil) is used for LOTS of things completely unrelated to Parkinsons, Alzheimers, and Multiple Sclerosis.

Its essentially a relatively mild stay-awake/stimulant drug.

Modafinil is a wakefulness-promoting agent (or eugeroic) used for treatment of disorders such as narcolepsy, shift work sleep disorder, and excessive daytime sleepiness associated with obstructive sleep apnea. It has also seen widespread off-label use as a purported cognition-enhancing agent. In English-speaking countries it is sold under the brand names Alertec, Modavigil, and Provigil. In the United States modafinil is classified as a schedule IV controlled substance and restricted in availability and usage, due to concerns about possible addiction potential. In most other countries it is a prescription drug but not otherwise legally restricted.

Although the mechanism of action of modafinil was initially unknown, it now appears that the drug acts as a selective, relatively weak, atypical dopamine reuptake inhibitor. However, it appears that other additional mechanisms may also be at play.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modafinil

Ive long predicted Hillary was using some kind of daytime stimulant to put the sparkle in her eyes and a nighttime drug to bring her down and let her sleep.

Modafinil is probably a good choice for the daytime drug.

Taking Modafinil is no smoking gun for some more serious illness (though there very well may be one); nonetheless, having to take a drug like this in order to function is not something we should desire in the leader of the free world.

My Husband has had Parkinsons for over 10 years. He has never had his eyes roll like that. He has never had seizures. I personally think what she has is worse than Parkinsons and I think it is subcortical vascular dementia. Whatever she has is really bad. My Husband takes a walk every day and to do that he has to go down steps. That is not an issue. He does have a lift chair and does have a problem getting in and out of cars that are low.You do lose muscle and he has lost a lot of weight.

Hillarys Health The Truth, REVEALED! (by Wikileaks)

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trumps latest attack against his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton is that shes a copycat.

At a campaign rally in Kenansville, North Carolina, on Tuesday, Trump accused Clinton of sounding a lot like him on the issue of vetting immigrants.

All of a sudden shes got "extreme vetting" and shes got all of these terms, Trump said.

I used the term -- I made it up, Trump added. Now Hillary is copying it!

Earlier in his speech, Trump accused Clinton of wanting an open-border policy and predicted that the former secretary of state would pivot on the issue of immigration at Mondays first presidential debate.

Hillary is all of sudden going to get tough, Trump said. The debate comes and shell say, I want strong borders. I believe she meant the term extreme vetting. Where did you hear extreme vetting before? Only from me, because I made up the term.

Clintons policy calls for border enforcement and focusing resources on detaining and deporting individuals who pose a violent threat.

Yesterday, Clinton said she has long held the view that the the U.S. should apply tough vetting toward immigrants. She did not use the phrase Trump prefers, extreme vetting.

There are millions of law-abiding peaceful Muslim Americans," Clinton said. "This is the kind of challenge that law enforcement can be and is prepared and can address, namely going after anyone who would threaten the United States, she said as she took questions from the press on the tarmac of the Westchester County Airport in New York.

Clinton added, "I am absolutely in favor of and have long been an advocate for tough vetting, for making sure that we don't let people into this country -- and not just people who come here to settle, but we need a better visa system.

Clinton expressed a similar sentiment at a campaign rally in Dallas, Texas, last November, but without using the words tough or extreme.

And now you know with this new refugee crisis, of course we have to have a lot of vigilance and we have to vet people, and I would depend upon our defense and intelligence professionals to guide us in doing that, Clinton said. But we can't act as though were shutting the doors to people in need without undermining who we are as Americans and the values we have stood for.

Trumps remarks at his evening rally marked the second time in one day that he accused Clinton of imitating him.

Do people notice Hillary is copying my airplane rallies -- she puts the plane behind her like I have been doing from the beginning," Trump wrote on Twitter on Tuesday morning.

Many Twitter users were quick to note that the idea was not entirely original and posted images of other politicians -- from presidents Obama, George W. Bush, Ronald Reagan and Dwight Eisenhower, to candidates Mitt Romney, John McCain, John Kerry and Bob Dole -- giving campaign speeches from airport hangars and taxiways with similar backdrops.

Donald Trump Accuses Hillary Clinton of Copying Him ...

Hillary Clinton is using herfundraising dominance to unleash all manner of modern votertools that Donald Trumps organization is too cash-poor, disorganized or uninterested into use but are they worth the massive pricetag?

The question will be argued until election day, and probably for years after. But one thing clear right now is the Clinton campaign is leaving nothing to chance. Launching apps that track the movements of paid canvassers and organizing poetry slams to build camaraderie in field offices, the Clinton operation is in the final frenzy of assembling some of the most sophisticated campaign infrastructure ever.

Itis building on the hallowed playbook written by President Obamas campaign teams, implementingtechnological advancements that enable field organizers to find, track and prod potential voters with even more precision and efficiency.

Clintons approach is a stark contrast from Trumps. Heleft fieldorganizing in the hands of a Republican National Committee that must incorporate Trump into its broader effort on behalf of down-ballot candidates often at odds with the nominee.

Election 2016|Live coverage on Trail Guide| Sign up for the newsletter| The race to 270

The most advanced field technology available to Republicans is controlled by the Koch brothers network, which has declined to work on Trumps behalf. The field offices that are a hub of organizing activity are few and far between on the Trump side as compared with the dozens Clinton has operational.

Gauging the likely return on all this investment is complicated. Strategists and scholars are still hotly debating how much credit Obamas vauntedhigh-tech get-out-the-vote operation deserves for his victories.

Obamas 2008 campaign manager,David Plouffe, once described this part of thecampaign as an elitefield goal unit there to push the team over the top in a close race. Obama would probably have lost Florida in both his presidential races without a superior ground game. And in 2008, research suggests he would have been defeated in North Carolina and Indiana, too.

Now, the infrastructure mismatch is the most severe it has ever been.

We have never seen an imbalance as great as we are seeing this election, said Eitan Hersh, a political science scholar at Yale University and author of Hacking the Electorate.If Republicans fail to shore up their ground gamein the crucial swing states, he said, they risk giving Clinton an advantage of as much as 3 percentage points in them.

Clinton is pouring money from a war chest expected to grow to $1 billion by election day into a massive push to find and motivate voters who might have even the slightest inclination to vote for her. Since April, Clintons team has sent thousands of volunteers to dozens of field offices in crucial swing states and armed them with software designed to get voters invested in casting ballots. The programs compose personalized follow-up emails and texts from the canvasser, catered to the specific interests of thevoters they chat up.

Weve added digital components to the ground game that gives it a speed that wasnt there before, said Stu Trevelyan, chief executiveof the software firm NGP VAN, which manages the Democratic Partys massive voter file.

Canvassers carrying mobile deviceshave real-time script automation that guides their interactions with voters based on the way questions are answered, and then guides which text messages, online ads, fundraising pitches and reminders to vote are sent to the person.

If voters cast their ballots in the last election through early voting, the campaign knows it and once voting begins will send gentle nudges.

The pro-Clinton super PAC Priorities USA, which dwarfs all of the super PACs supporting Trump, has been road-testing its strategies for drawing voters to the polls in a few key states since the primaries. One involved targetingmessages at Latino and African American voters that prompted 36,000 of them to look up their polling places on a Priorities USA website.

Priorities USA is on track to have more than double the funding it did when it supported Obama in 2012, and it is aggressively expanding its get-out-the-vote efforts.

Weve already been able to see what is effective and what is not effective, said Priorities USA spokesman Justin Barasky. It is brand-new for a Democratic super PAC to be investing in some of these activities.

The tech innovations do only so much. Their effectiveness depends on an army of paid activists and volunteers, and Clintons early start and massive field office presence gave her a leg up in pulling one together even as her tepid approval ratings and discouraging poll numbers with millennials signal the campaign will struggle to attract a volunteer force the size of Obamas. The Clinton campaigns cumulative payroll was more than $51 millionthrough July. The Trump campaign had spent just$3.2 million on payroll by then.

Clintons Mujeres in Politics women in politics are scouring communities for Latina matriarchs such as church secretaries and small-business owners open to recruiting their social circles. All Latinas have a very powerful network, said Lorellla Praeli, the campaigns director of Latino outreach. Starting with one, youve committed them to reach out and engage five more. And that begins to multiply.

The campaign is recruiting bilennials bilingual millennials in strongholds like California and New York to hit the phones to motivate Latino voters in states where they are becoming a growing force, such as Utah, North Carolina and Iowa. In Florida, where the Latino vote will be decisive, the large campaign payroll aims to look as diverse, and as fluent in Spanish, as the electorate.

Republican officials bristle at the suggestion Trump is getting outmaneuvered on the ground. They point to tens of thousands of their people in the field and a far more robust and sophisticated presence in swing states than in 2012, when Obamas voter turnout organizationfar outperformed that of rival Mitt Romney. And they note encouraging registration figures in several swing states that suggest the advantage the Democrats hold in them is shrinking.

But it is undeniable that the partys vows to revamp its campaign infrastructure, invest heavily in a united digital operation and create a framework that resembles what the Democrats had in both 2008 and 2012 was disrupted by Trump. Those goalshave not been a priority for him.

Trump only recently began to invest heavily in digital. His campaign enlisted the firm Cambridge Analytica, which helped drive Texas Sen.Ted Cruzs impressive voter targeting operation in the Republican primariesby developing psychographic profiles of voters propelled by consumer data.

But prominent GOP digital strategists say the delay in getting such innovative efforts underway undermines their effectiveness considerably.

There is, though, a wild card: the voter anger Trump has so successfully harnessed. It remains to be seen how he will use it to drive voters to the polls. Trump has gotten this far disregarding the usual rules, and analysts caution he may yet prove the laws of the general election turnout operationsdo not apply to him.

There is no evidence that Republicans have the kind of presence in the field that Clinton does, said Hahrie Han, a political science professor at UC Santa Barbara who researches political organizing. But Trump is tapping into this populist outrage that is out there. We dont have a good sense of how strong it is and how much it will impact the ground game.

Clinton acknowledges that some voters' dislike of Trump isn't enough for her to count on their votes

With a self-inflicted wound, Trump puts himself in new peril against Clinton

An earlier version of this article indicated the amounts each candidate had spent on payroll were monthly. The totals are cumulative since the start of each campaign.

Hillary Clinton has a massive fundraising advantage. She's ...

Hillary Clinton is back on the campaign trail after a weekend bout with pneumonia, but the episode left many Americans unsure about the state of her health, a new HuffPost/YouGov survey finds.

Clintons physician, Dr. Lisa Bardack, wrote Wednesday that the Democratic nominee continues to remain healthy and fit to serve as President of the United States.

But just 39 percent of Americans currently believe that Clinton is in good enough physical condition to effectively serve as president for the next four years, according to the poll. A nearly equal 38 percent say she isnt in good enough condition, and 23 percent say they are unsure.

That marks a significant shift from just over a week ago, when an Economist/YouGov survey posing the same question found that 52 percent of Americans believed Clinton was in good enough shape, 33 percent didnt think she was and 16 percent didnt know.

By a 14-point margin, 45 percent to 31 percent, those surveyed in the latest poll which predated Bardacks letter said that Clinton had not provided enough information about her physical health.

YouGov

Republicans have long been willing to cast aspersions on Clintons health, but until recently, those attacks seemed to have little resonance beyond those already disinclined to vote for her.

The latest survey, however, shows increased uncertainty among some of her supporters.

Although 64 percent of Democrats said in the most recent poll that Clinton was in good enough condition, thats down 20 points from the previous survey. Few believe outright that she is unhealthy, but more now say that theyre not sure.

YouGov

In contrast, 63 percent currently believe GOP nominee Donald Trump is in good enough condition, almost unchanged from the 62 percent who said so earlier this month.

(The survey was also taken largely before Trumps interview with Dr. Mehmet Oz on Wednesday, in which he discussed his love for fast food and shared that he considered emphatic hand-waving a form of exercise.)

Even before Clinton stumbled while leaving a Sept. 11 commemoration event, she had long battled allegations from Trump and his surrogates that she was concealing a serious health problem. Her running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), denounced such claims as idiotic.

Thirty-six percent of Americans say they believe Clintons illness last weekend was a symptom of a larger problem with her health. Twenty-seven percent say that it was an isolated incident, and 21 percent say that speculating about her health is inappropriate.

More broadly, 45 percent of Americans say that people are right to question whether Clinton may have a serious health condition, while 37 percent believe claims that shes seriously ill are driven purely by politics.

Opinions on both questions are divided deeply along partisan lines: 62 percent of Republicans, but just 13 percent of Democrats, believe that Clinton has a larger health issue. Three-quarters of Republicans view questioning Clintons health as valid, while 62 percent of Democrats see such questions as a nakedly political tactic. Independents fall somewhere in the middle 39 percent believe that Clinton is concealing a larger health problem and 46 percent say that people are right to raise questions.

Politicians health wasnt always believed to be a topic for public debate. In a 2004 survey conducted by Gallup for CNN and USA Today, 61 percent of Americans said that a president should have the same right as every other citizen to keep his medical records private, while just 38 percent believed a president should publicly release all medical information that might affect his ability to serve his term. That conviction was shared largely across party lines, with 57 percent of Democrats, 65 percent of Republicans and 60 percent of independents saying that a president had the right to keep medical records private.

A similar question on the HuffPost/YouGov poll garnered very different results, underscoring the degree to which Republicans especially have seized on the issue, but also indicating a more widespread shift in expectations for transparency.

Fifty-seven percent of Americans said that a presidential candidate should publicly release all medical information that might affect his or her ability to serve his term as president, while just 34 percent believed that a presidential candidate should have the same right as every other citizen to keep his or her medical records private.

Democrats were about evenly split between the two positions, while large majorities of both Republicans and independents said they favored greater transparency. Similarly, 87 percent of Republicans, but a comparably small 52 percent of Democrats, said it was fair for the media to question a candidates health.

While its clear that concerns about Clintons health have become more prominent, its less certain to what extent those concerns will affect the race.

The most likely outcome, of course, is that Democrats and others who are inclined to vote for Mrs. Clinton will stick with her, political scientist Brendan Nyhan wrote Tuesday in The New York Times. He noted thatpast elections have shown that concerns about older candidates health came largely from voters who opposed them. However, a modern precedent does exist for serious concerns about a candidates age and health. Ronald Reagans meandering closing statement in the first presidential debate during the 1984 campaign was widely perceived to have harmed him.For Mrs. Clinton, then, the goal is to quickly reassure voters, as Mr. Reagan appeared to do back in 1984, that she is in good health.

One possible effect of an increased focus on the candidates health could be to raise the profile of their vice presidential nominees a prospect raised inadvertently by former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland (D), who said during a rally that Kaine was a wonderfully prepared person to be vice president, and to be the president if that ever became necessary.

On that measure, neither side holds much of an advantage. Thirty-two percent of Americans believe Kaine is qualified to serve as president, with 27 percent saying that he is not and 41 percent unsure. GOP pick Mike Pence fared almost identically, with 34 percent calling him qualified, 27 percent calling him unqualified and 40 percent not sure.

The HuffPost/YouGov poll consisted of 1,000 completed interviews conducted Sept. 12-Sept. 14 among U.S. adults, using a sample selected from YouGovs opt-in online panel to match the demographics and other characteristics of the adult U.S. population.

The Huffington Post has teamed up with YouGov to conduct daily opinion polls.You can learn moreabout this project andtake partin YouGovs nationally representative opinion polling. Data from all HuffPost/YouGov polls can be foundhere. More details on the polls methodology are availablehere.
