From Electoral-Vote.com:
A theory has been circulating that the Donald Trump tweets that come from an Android device are from the candidate himself, while the ones that come from an iPhone are the work of his staff. David Robinson, a data scientist who works for Stack Overflow, decided to test the theory. His conclusion: It's absolutely correct.
Robinson did some text-mining (using R) to analyze roughly 1,400 tweets from Trump's timeline, and demonstrated conclusively that the iPhone tweets are substantively different than the Android tweets. The former tend to come later at night, and are vastly more likely to incorporate hashtags, images, and links. The latter tend to come in the morning, and are much more likely to be copied and pasted from other people's tweets. In terms of word choice, the iPhone tweets tend to be more neutral, with their three most-used phrases being "join," "#trump2016," and "#makeamericagreatagain." The Android tweets tend to be more emotionally charged, with their three most-used phrases being "badly," "crazy," and "weak."

With her health problems and on camera seizures and being chased around by a secret service Nurse Ratchet with a hypo like a weird episode of Star Trek in the sick bay and her inability to walk up stairs unaided, does anyone want to really hear her thoughts anyway?
I wonder if the debates are going to be cancelled, given how the establishment neocons are rallying around Hillary and she's obviously physically unfit to debate (or lead).
I think her health issues are the root of the recent talk about Trump ditching the debates. If Hillary stands up and starts talking all alone for 30 minutes providing a stereotypical Hillary infomercial where every minute she speaks she loses 1% of voters (which in itself is quite handy for Trump), and then she has a seizure half way thru and passes out and starts talking about reptilian space aliens and sentient fungi after her injection, and the SS agents have to help her up and down the stairs on camera, he comes out best if he has nothing to do with her, just let her destroy her own campaign without the "big meanie" catching any blame.

In your reality is all of that actually true? Because, if so, you are basically waiving the crazy flag when you write something like that. Who is even going to bother reading past that? Is it just some sort of tribal signaling?

Sadly VLM's narrative has been spread for the last week to 10 days on several neo-conservative sites and on at least one national cable news network. HRC's health can never live up to the letter Trump's "doctor" wrote [nytimes.com] about his extraordinary health.

Have you watched her facial expressions lately? I'd say she's either on medication or stressed out the way her eyes bulge out.

True, but it got some heavy discussion on FOX News every night last week. They even showed a video without sound claiming she was having a seizure and everyone around her was laughing at her, but when played with sound (and shown from an accompanying angle) she was actually laughing (albeit a laugh that would scare an evil clown) and everyone was laughing with her. Faux and balanced.

Probably the same doctor who declared that young Donnie was unfit to serve in Viet Nam because of loose bone chips in his foot. Which mysteriously went away after the war ended a few years later.
When you're rich, you can find such doctors.

OK, I've looked at your link, and the idea that this is evidence of illness is laughable. Clearly she was distracted mid-speech by some sort of emerging situation in the crowd that the camera can't see. Apparently it was a protester, but she wouldn't have known that right away, from her face and attentive stare I suspect she's wondering if this is the arrival of the bullet that Trump wished upon her last week[*] That's why her security people are all looking so suddenly busy, and one of them has to reassure her that this is not a threat before she continues with her speech.
As for the "seizure", the fact that they've had to reverse and loop the gif to make her head wobble around so much tells me all I need to know. You sir, are either an idiot or a shill.
[*]Before anyone tries to downplay Trump's incitement to violence, let's not forget the consequences of the last US reality show star turned politician who tried to impress the NRA voters by making casual references to political assassination: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/rep-gabrielle-giffords-blood-sarah-palin-hands-putting-cross-hair-district-article-1.149099 [nydailynews.com]

She picked Kaine. He's a weird DINO who's been on every side of every issue at one time or another. Owns guns but wants more meaningless paperwork to punish legal owners. Loves the TPP and also won't support it. Hates abortion for personal reasons but won't do anything about it. Doesn't like capital punishment but won't pardon people killed while he's in office (and statistically given how many convictions are later overturned, he's killed at least one innocent man by refusing to commute). He's a globalist who loves NAFTA at the same time as he kisses up to unions who's jobs he's doing his best to eliminate.
Kaine's not entirely a worthless flipflop machine. For a democrat he's remarkably fiscally responsible. I actually agree with him WRT abortion, its enough of an ethical minefield that the best way to oppose it is to go religious and go propaganda, not to go via .gov regulation. Still its weird and almost unique to see a politician take a position on anything similar to the .gov should not be involved in the issue.
I mean, who can Hillary find with a lower approval rating than herself to make her veep, maybe Osama Bin Laden?
Hillary wants our military to die for our country, or at least die for Isreal, in Iran, Syria, god only knows where else. Crazy warmonger chickenhawk.

Man, after watching the video of her "seizure" I don't think you have any concept of what a seizure is. I don't care for HRC myself. Still, it seems like a lot of folks just take a leap of faith in Donald Trump and his PR people. I guess it's that thing where people believe what they'd like to be true.
This whole seizure thing is without proof. Unlike Trump saying something and then denying he ever said it later when it's been recorded already.
You have your vote, sir. Use it as you see fit. It doesn't appear that it will be the same as mine.

No, no, no, you've got it all wrong.
Our knowledge about lizard person physiology is limited (mostly just that large doses of phosphorus [wikia.com] are required for a human to successfully mate with one), but I would propose that lizard people require capsaicin as a nutrient. That would explain why she always has Tabasco sauce. Perhaps she's been having trouble making the time to feed on her hot sauce and thus has been susceptible to malnutrition. So, it isn't a medical problem, it's a time management problem!
Maybe she should switch to something hotter or at least tastier. But IANAXenobiologist. Another possibility is that it's more of an intoxicant like alcohol is for humans. I can assure you that it is possible to enter a slightly altered state of mind with sauce hot enough, sort of like being mildly drunk but with punishment being Montezuma's revenge instead of a hangover. Could be like beer vs. whiskey. Maybe she's addicted and was suffering some kind of hangover?
Note: the one thing that's disputed between Icke's theories on the lizard people and the species depicted in V is that generally lizard queens eat their mate as part of reproduction, whereas Bill Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky seem to be very much still alive and kicking. This could be reconciled by the fact that HRC and Chelsea are only part lizard person as members of the Red Dresses [wikipedia.org] (warning: illustration can't be unseen). V was conveniently canceled just as they were about to detail how to fight the moon matrix.
At any rate, Thuban's [wikipedia.org] sun is dying, so the lizard people need to move quickly, which is perhaps why they're getting sloppy. I'd recommend adding some turquoise to your wardrobe!

That sure is some reality distortion field you are posting from there, sunshine. Do you really even believe this crap? Seriously? Or were you given these talking points by the Trump campaign and told to post them all over the intertubes? Just to help you out of that rabbit hole, don't you think a much more plausible explanation for Trump wanting to ditch the debates is that he is scared silly that having a head-to-head matchup with Hillary will show the entire country just how facile and vacuous his grasp of the issues really are? Don't you think that might be a much more plausible explanation?
