Boingboing saved a tweet later deleted by Newsweek's Kurt Eichenwald yesterday that read, "I believe Trump was institutionalized in a mental hospital for a nervous breakdown in 1990, which is why he won't release his medical records."

1. I think it's wrong to hold any past medical treatment against a candidate.

7. Mental health issues are most certainly relevant.

2. pushing this would be wrong

...especially considering Hillary's outstanding intentions for mental health services which she highlighted and promoted not more than a few weeks ago.

6. Bullshit

we need to do ANYTHING that might help win the election. You know the other side will!

8. High pressure jobs demand a high level of mental equilibrium.

Do you think someone who is suicidal should be allowed to pilot commercial airliners?

3. Probably yanked it because it didn't fit the focus of the article.

4. Narcissist

rarely go to a mental hospital for treatment because they never believe there is any problem.. Believe me, I was married to one. His psychiatrist told me he had characteristics of several conditions but basically he simply never understood that anyone else's wants or needs were of any importance. Can't treat it.

5. Are you kidding

The maggot needs to be stopped by all necessary means.
If he has that kind of mental health history it needs to be out there. Do you think the Republicans wouldn't use it against HRC?
In 1970s George McGovern running mate was forced out because of his mental health...this moron would have the power to destroy the world.
We already SEE evidence he has mental issues.
