Are going after each other like never before. The war of words between Hillary Clinton and donald trump. As the two question each others sanity. news music voice over youre watching the valleys news leader with Dave Courvoisier, this is 8 news now at six. Christianne Klein many people have thought this election cycle was crazy at one time or another. But what happens when the candidates and their supporters actually start calling each other crazy . Dave Courvoisier reviewjournal columnist and politicsnow cohost Steve Sebelius is here with that. Steve Sebelius weve all heard candidates their proposals as nuts, right . But this has become a banner election for questioning the temperament and sanity of the two leading contenders. Clinton mentioned it during her convention acceptance speech, and last weekend, trump fired back. Take a look Hillary Clinton donald trump cant even handle the roughandtumble of a president ial campaign a man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons. Donald trump unstable Hillary Clinton, and you saw that, didnt you saw that where she said, she did, it wasnt a press conference because thats around 250 days. But it was in front of some friendly reporters. They asked her a very easy question and she shortcircuited. Steve Sebelius and it didnt stop there. Trump also called clinton a horrible human being lacking in judgment, temperamentn brainwashed, a monster and the devil. Right wing media is replete with stories alleging clinton has some sort of brain injury. And clinton supporters arent shy about making fun of trump, either. Director rob reiner opined on real time with bill maher on hbo on friday that trump was mentally ill. Robert kagan, writing in the washington post, questioned whether republicans realized they may have backed somebody with a disordered personality. And mark cuban used a reference involving bats to suggest trump was crazy. Remind its members last week that they shouldnt be diagnosing people they havent treated. And if trained professionals shouldnt be doing that, the rest of us should probably lay off, too. Steve Sebelius besides, its a selfdefeating charge for politicians to make anyway. If somebody is really mentally ill, they cant help what they say or do, and deserve our compassion and help. But if theyre not crazy and they can help it, well, then theyre just awful people and nobody wants to vote for an awful person, right . So call me crazy, but maybe people crazy.
