Freaky. The way her handlers grab her makes me think the right wingers might not be so wrong about her shaky health situation (not that fatass Trump is any more healthy overall mind you).
It's especially strange how she (can we even confirm it's actually her from this angle?) seems to go limp while she was still leaning against the post, before she ever started walking. The way that her handlers grabbed her and dragged her in the van makes it look they do this relatively often As much as anything, I think this will just reinforce the theories that she's actually a robot. Maybe her batteries died, or one of her hoses sprung a leak!
I'm very concerned. With Trump gaining in the polls anyway this may be what he needs to put him over the top. What could the Democrats do? If Hillary were to withdraw for health reasons could they replace her with Bernie?
Clinton's doctor released a statement saying that Hillary was diagnosed with pneumonia last Friday. That removes some mystery from the situation but is still problematic.Given her other recorded stumbles and coughing problems I wonder if she has underlying pulmonary problems that we don't know about. I've suffered from diagnosed COPD/Emphysema for over six years now and it never gets better - the best I can hope for is to slow the progress of the disease.
Theoretically, but fat chance of that. The problem is that early voting has already started in some states, so they're stuck with her there even if she does drop out. Ideally she would hang on until after the election and then Kaine would be President, no muss no fuss. Well, no muss anyway. Wouldn't be the worst thing that could happen, says me.
Would Tim Kaine NOT be an improvement over any current top candidate? Just saying. Edit: I'd far prefer Clinton to Trump any day, and don't mean install any morbidity into the mix. But, Kaine has a better electoral chance of either of the two primary candidates. I know that makes me sound like an a-hole.
She got sick! Good grief! Bush Sr. upchucked all over a Japanese dignitary that one time and collapsed. He was fine later. People get sick. Doesn't mean it's Parkinson's
I certainly don't think it is Parkinson's. But I wouldn't doubt that she has some underlying pulmonary disease that leaves her open to these various problems. Frankly, I would like to see an upper age limit when it comes to running for president. Whether you liked the guy or not, Reagan was clearly more effective in his first them than in his second. I don't like the idea of a second term president in their upper 70's.
She got diagnosed on FRIDAY. Collapsed Sunday. And they didn't announce the pneumonia until several hours later, presumably after the campaign consulted with their dang focus groups and determined that Story A, "ah no, she's fiiiiiine, just fiiiiiiiiine", wasn't going to fly this time. Yes, I have an enormous problem with that. It reinforces every negative feeling I have about the Clintons' trustworthiness. And If I'm having this much of a problem with it, I can just imagine what the undecideds are thinking. I can't believe she's going to blow this election, except I can totally believe she's going to blow this election ...
The optics on this are very bad. The Clinton campaign appears to be hiding something relating to her health. Whether it's serious or not, we don't know yet. But this gives a lot of fuel to the right-wing conspiracy theorists regarding her health. This is the last thing her campaign needed....
I'm not at all sure she has major health issues... but this is a disaster anyway. When people already bemoan her lack of transparency and appearance of dishonesty, this just adds fuel to the fire. You start to wonder if she really DOES have the judgment necessary to be President.
Maybe this will get through to her and the campaign? Voters doubt Clinton's pneumonia explanation, poll shows Naaaaah.
I actually think that poll is fairly positive for Hillary. Right now at least 45% of voters support Trump for President, and a good 90% of them don't trust ANYTHING about Hillary. It shows pretty much what I would expect... Supporters believe her; others don't.
LOL, what a country. Poll numbers on whether or not she has pneumonia. We Americans have got an opinion on everything, even stuff we don't know a thing about.
"I hate Trump and everything he stands for!!! He's racist, xenophobic, insults the disabled, would be dangerous on the international front. Wait, Hillary has pneumonia? OMG!!! Now I gotta vote TRUMP!" Not happening.
