I have been watching McCain for a long time. Lately, when I see him speak it seems he has some issues. I think he has PTSD. ANyone else notice this?

People get PTSD from car accidents. Contrary to what the breathless media seem to believe, its not exclusive to the Millitary.

Remember, McCain went for years without proper medical care after having been pretty seriously injured while ejecting from his aircraft. What your seeing is more likely nerve damage than any kind of psycological condition.

I know how people get PTSD. I know its not nerve damage that I see. These are emotional responses I see when he goes on stage. He also gets a deer in headlights look sometimes.

It also seems like he is reading everything. Watch him next time he gives a speech my friends. :lmao:

Reagan and Dole I believe were older... McCain has his faculties about him quite well.

Reagan was the oldest elected president at 69 years of age. Dole never became President so he doesn't count. :P McCain is 72.

He is too old. I think someone of his age could serve now but not in 4 years given his health.

Bad gamble if u ask me, as much of an issue as Romney made about McCain not being a conservative, if he flip-flops on that and joins the McCain ticket, it'll probably be the last flip-flop of his political career. He's young and has got a lot more time to try for the Presidency, this was McCain's last shot at it.
