Does anyone EVER Faint at Republican Speeches??

Politics is about making calculated decisions involving risk. The risk and down side of a "faker" going public is a million times greater than any supposed benefit their fainting would provide.

Many a misjudgement has been made using this "risk assessment tool". Look no farther than Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinski. I might have gave it a second thought if it were a smokin' hot supermodel...........

Not the same thing at all. Bill's decision to mess with Monica wasn't a political decision.

I think they are not fake with the whoppers he tells and as easy as he does it I can understand people passing out at his speeches. But I am surprised he can turn and catch them before they faint.

I think it's pretty easy to explain, really. I've actually had it happen to me while speaking. You notice that you don't have eye contact with the crowd anymore, they're all watching to see what the ill person will do, so it's natural to turn around and see what the problem is.

A couple years ago my daughter sang at a big event at the KY Center for the Arts. There was this kid in the back row of the choir who was getting sick to her stomach. EVERYONE in that place knew it, she was causing such a distraction. They finally got her off the risers and...about...halfway off the stage before she called Earl ALL OVER THE PLACE.
