ANALYSIS/OPINION:

Is Hillary Clintons health an issue for 2016? You bet it is, and well it should be.

Ronald Reagan took office when he was 69. He was mocked, jeered and sneered at, with prominent Democrats leading the charge (and the compliant media following, as always).

If elected, Hillary would be 69. But when a Republican brought up her age on a recent Sunday news show some two years before Election Day 2016 liberals were apoplectic (with, again, the milquetoast media taking their marching orders).

Reagan secretly wore a hearing aid, first in his right ear, then in both ears, from the beginning of his presidency. When he was 74, early in his second term, he had surgery to remove cancerous polyps from his colon, and later underwent a skin cancer operation.

But his real health issues were a closely guarded secret. In 1986, he didnt seem to know a prominent reporter. Another time, he repeatedly referred to his vice president as Prime Minister Bush. His doctors dispute that he had Alzheimers while in office, and his wife, Nancy, said the neurological disease worsened only after he fell from a horse in 1989, suffering a brain injury, a subdural hematoma.

Hillary is even more secretive about her health. On Dec. 7, 2012, she disappeared from view without a word. Three days passed before the State Department said the secretary of state was under the weather as it announced she would cancel a planned trip to the Middle East.

ABC News put out this mysterious entry in a timeline on what happened next: Sometime early the week of Dec. 9: Clinton faints and falls while at home. Theres never been any independent confirmation of that, nor did Americas crackerjack media do anything more than write down what State officials claimed.
