Would love to see a close up of her white knuckling the handrail.

They hid Wilson and FDR's health problems too. Can't show a sign of weakness in times of WAR, now.

Holding the handrail is about steadying and leveraging, so to a point holding the handrail is a symptom of...... her ill-health. Bet she CANNOT go up or down stairs without aid.

Along with this, we know of two other occasions in which she fell. In one, she hit her head. In the other, she broke her elbow.

I shouldn't be but am always surprised at what occupies trumpettes' minds.
Yes, the 68-y.o. presidential nominee uses a handrail when wearing high heels and ascending/descending stairs.

As do Mr. and Mrs. Trump:

I'm astonished that people are making a big deal out of anyone, let alone someone over 60, using a hand rail. I'll bet half the people complaining here couldn't keep up with Hillary's schedule. Talk about stamina, she's got it in spades.

I think this is grasping at straws, and I can't stand Hillary.

Sorry Mom. The degree of the grip is 180 degrees different between Mr Tump and Mrs Clinton. Might want to get a little more detail oriented, when viewing these things, or reading articles or quotes.

Trumps hand and Melania's hand too, in high heels, literally glide along the top of the handrail. Mrs Clinton on the other hand uses a death grip, accompanied by knee instability.

Thanks for emphasizing the feebleness of your candidate.

You are seriously wrong. The woman is feeble.

I don't know. Does her highness do steps at all?
I know the turnstiles on the NYC subway gave her some problems. remember that?

I wonder if Hillary was to attempt a flight of stairs and she started falling if the Secret Service would jump in to catch her? From what I have heard she treats them like trash.

I'm about her age, and I too hang onto handrails and take my time when going up and down stairs. I also hold onto a handrail when getting out of the shower. So what ??? Are you alluding to some kind of deficiency in her ability to be President just because of that? I bet my IQ is a little above yours and I am more successful, so how a person walks should be no barometer or one's overall abilities.

Damn, you guys are so desperate that you keep coming up with the dumbest stuff !

If one has to claim a higher IQ and greater success to make a point, one is probably not. Not sure what you hoped to accomplish with that childish jab. Late 60s does not necessarily mean stumbling and unsure steps, much less that a death grip on a hand rail is required to ascend or descend steps. Given the caricature nature of forums, I know many like to paint all millennial as slovenly or boomers as old and feeble.

Neither is the case. There is most definitely a need for a gripping, not touching, nor lightly holding, of hand rails. While not a policy issue, for a politician who was not seen, nor available for more than a month - early 2014 - it is reasonable to watch for signs of impairment. Her staff put out she'd fallen.

Cerebral accident, recoverable, but still... Or, maybe rehab?
