It's pretty standard for presidential candidates to do it.

They also seem to be trying to insinuate on some level that he is unfit for office on a health level, which doesn't seem like a very effective line of attack for Clinton to use. That said, he should release them.

Edit: I should've been clear. I think Clinton is perfectly fit to be President. I'm just saying  it's a hard line of attack for Clinton to use.

Wait. Sanders hasn't released his medical records yet?

Any other candidate could use the same attack on Clinton.

Yes, I recall one of her aides saying she was 'often confused'.

Clinton released her's back in June.

Sanders needs to be vetted as a President, not as someone who's giving lectures on income inequality.

Clinton already released her medical records.  Keep trolling, though, Sanders people.

He probably should given his age, but this isn't a very good strategy for Clinton. A candidate somewhat comparable to Sanders in terms of medical concern was John McCain in 2008 (at age 71), who didn't actually release his medical records until May of 2008.

As tempting as it is to say so, not really. I'm starting to seriously doubt whether this is a campaign capable of winning a general election.

Would that be Clinton or Sanders' campaign?

Clinton, whose odds of losing the nomination will remain marginal even if Sanders wins the first two states.

The irony that the former Secretary of Strokes is demanding this.

I mean, David Brock is, was, and will always be a crazy asshole. But still, Bernie Sanders needs to release his medical records.

It looks like Clinton's SuperPac "Correct the Record" (David Brock) and the Clinton campaign (John Podesta) are disagreeing on this camapaign strategy.

EDIT: Sanders will release a letter from his doctor before Iowa.

Actually, she only released what amounted to a doctor's note. She obviously didn't release all of the details (sound familiar?), which would have included information about her drinking problem, her strokes, her brain cancer, her MS and her blood clots in the brain. Ask Torie for more details! This is merely what we already know she's hiding: can you imagine what we don't know?

Brock is in some ways the ultimate hack given that he went from being a Republican one to a Clintonian one.

Brock put out this laughable response.
