Bernie supporters need to ponder this. Before Trump, EVERY serious contender eventually released their medical records.
Bernie is flouting a long-time norm, following Trump. If he’s this brazen at concealment, would he be appropriately open & transparent in the White House? https://t.co/vfIqlhkXvT

Sanders campaign has clearly concluded that the heat he's taking for hiding his medical records is not as bad as what's in them.

If I worked for a 78 year old candidate who had recently had a heart attack & he refused to release his medical records I would quit.

I seem to remember Bernie’s Press Secretary gleefully spreading the ‘Hillary’s health is failing!’ bullshite smears back in 2016, but maybe I’m just prejudiced, because she’s currently comparing questions about Sanders’ health to… birtherism:
If there was any doubt that the lessons of media handling in the Trump era wouldn't be picked up by non-Trump candidates. Bernie's health records are his "tax records." Gaslighting and obfuscation coming up! https://t.co/kZgwmWGv4c

The whole thing is just baffling. I assume even the staunchest of Sanders supporters are willing to concede that he is mortal. https://t.co/4836HMNC3I

For me this whole thing boils down to the fact that they played this so so badly.
This wouldn't even be such a big topic if Gray hadn't gone on CNN and lied, now it's going to be a big thing in the debate.
