Based on health secrets of past presidents, we have plenty of reasons to be concerned.
Every intelligent American my age or older knows about Jack Kennedy’s Addison’s disease. Twenty years before that, we had FDR suffering congestive heart failure at the climax of World War II.
Go back further. Woodrow Wilson suffering a stroke while campaigning for the League of Nations. Grover Cleveland’s jaw cancer.
Yes, we know about these things today. But people at the time didn’t.
And, in at least two presidencies, this had serious consequences.
Certainly, Wilson’s wife running his presidency was unconstitutional. And, Vice President Marshall might have actually come to a compromise with the Senate on the League of Nations, to boot. Of course, we had no 25th Amendment then.
Kennedy’s variety of drugs for Addison’s, plus other drugs he took for the effects of those drugs, arguably influenced him mentally as well as physically.
So, what is John McCain hiding?
Yes, he’s “supposed” to release his medical records Friday. But, he’s been stonewalling for months.
What is John McCain going to try to sanitize Friday?
