Hillary faints @ ground zero?

[feralkid]

Wow... a faint? This woman collapsed.

To faint is to collapse; they are synonymous.

"It was in the low 80s". Hardly a scorcher this morning.

Hillary Clinton’s health just became a real issue in the presidential campaign

No, it didn't. Wanting it to be so doesn't make it so. Besides, it needn't be "a scorcher" for heat exhaustion to kick in.

 

[1sikbITCH]

Not a healthy woman. I doubt that we really know just how bad it is, but the evidence of her ill-health is growing.

If American voters were smart (they're not, as evidenced by Trump) they'd vote Clinton into office with the expectation that she'd fall over dead in office. We keep the looney out the White House and we lose the ****. Best of both worlds.

Agreed.

Kaine 2017! Make America Sane Again.

 

[Mai72]

She's sick!

The proof is in the puddin!

The has the potential to destroy her bid for POTUS. Get ready for a Trump nation.

Why does a president need to be young?

Healthy, and cognitive. Not young, but the two often go hand in hand. In the 60s it starts to become questionable, more than a fair share of people lose it in that age bracket. By 70s... even more. It's a rate of attrition and you look for signs healthy and fit in spite of the odds. There's now a string of reasons to believe she's barely functioning. At this rate of decline Tim Kaine will be our President before 2020.

Hey, I can promise you one thing. You'll never see her playing on the golf course!

 

[Madpacket]

I haven't been following this election so parden my ignorance.

From the videos it's a bit hard to tell but it looks similar to a mild absence seizure. The confusion at first followed by the sudden drop before being helped into the van. Or she simply just fainted due to heat, totally plausible.

She hit her head a few years ago pretty hard right? (heard something about her health on the JRE podcast). This can lead to some forms of epilepsy.

If you look at the same news source, it provides a casual example of how if anything arguably more dramatic examples can happen to perfectly healthy much younger people.

I'll never forget watching a saxophone player in my high school marching band (yes, I was cool) drop to the ground during a Memorial Day ceremony. We weren't even marching or playing at the time. She just hadn't hydrated properly, locked out her knees and ... boom. And she was perfectly healthy.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/09/11/the-clinton-campaigns-bad-damage-control-just-made-the-health-story-even-worse/?hpid=hp_hp-top-table-main_fix-clintonhealth-1155am:homepage/story

In this case she was not wearing something short sleeve or the like. Wearing multiple layers including a black pantsuit (and being in a crowd) certainly was an obvious likely major contributing factor to the heat being an issue.

Edit: Providing a bit of additional medical information might make sense to counter speculation at this point, but the reality is things like this happen to plenty of people who are in good health as noted. (Plenty of examples could be cited if it really becomes necessary.)

Such an admission would squash rumor of something more serious, or meaningful.
Perhaps that'll be next, given the first tactic of denial falling out from under them.

 

[Mai72]

Tim Kaine. Lol...

People aren't voting for the vice president. It's either Trump or Hillary. Why can't you people understand this?

If she's unfit and unhealthy to run for POTUS you can kiss her chances goodbye. She just handed the white House to Trump. Many people are weary of Hillary to begin with. Many consider her to be a liar. It sucks that we don't have a stronger candidate to match Trump.

Maybe this is Trump's year. If he get elected its going to be a very interesting 4 years.

 

[Vic]

I watched the video and it looks like she caught her heel on the curb.

Watch it again. They have to hold her upright from the very beginning. Left arm locked onto the aid.
She's leaving the event early because she is ill.

A curb is the least of her problems.

Even the healthiest of humans are susceptible to heat exhaustion. In fact, I would say that just about everyone has experienced symptoms of it at some point in their lives. Same with the coughing fits. This is a non-issue dog-whistle designed to rile up the "women aren't fit to be president" troglodytes.

Did any of you who are saying fainting spells due to heat are normal for older folks (I would agree), bother to check the weather in NYC today? I mean, was it like 90+ degrees and no wind or something?

No. It was 80 degrees at 1PM, but Hillary conked out around 9:30AM - when it was like 70 degrees.

So if If I understand this correctly, you're saying Hillary got overheated and essentially fainted / was unable to walk in 70 degree weather and that is normal. That's retarded to say the least.

What gets me is the close in below. She was not being 'helped' while walking under her own power, even if a bit weak. First her knees are buckling - she probably locked her knees to avoid falling. She clearly had no strength to move her legs. Look at her toes dragging.

So you think this is normal huh? Happens all the time, right?

 

[Brainonska511]

Many consider her to be a liar.

Strange that many people bring this up considering their alternative is a guy who has centered his campaign around lying about practically everything.

No. It was 80 degrees at 1PM, but Hillary conked out around 9:30AM - when it was like 70 degrees.

And the humidity was also ~80% at the time, which, as you know, would make it seem a lot hotter. It's been like soup in NYC for the last 2 days until the humidity broke later today.

[looper]

It couldn't be much clearer that the woman is far from being healthy. This needs to be cleared up before the election. Whatever is wrong with her needs to be known.

Huma says she's "often confused", she's stumbling, she's coughing a lung out very frequently, she's freezing at political events such that she requires assistance to get back to reality, she's having episodes that some are deeming to be seizures. She's fallen and broken her arm, she's fallen and had at the very least a concussion as well as blood clots. This is just a partial list. It's past the time to ignore this preponderance of evidence that the woman is not well.

Ludicrous comments.

Do you not see the incredible irony in your words?

In America, we vote for President and Vice President together.

 

[vi edit]

I definitely think the Clinton camp needs to hold a real press conference and address this candidly. They need to set the narrative and not let the internet run wild with their own.

not that it will stop the nutters from nutting, but yea, squelch this before it gains more traction that it already has.

You won't see Trump walking it, either.

"A string of reasons to believe she's barely functioning"? She'll whip Donald's ass & that's whatt matters.

Maybe wait for Trump to make a fool of himself over this first.

One of more interesting dynamics in this election IMO is that Hillary is being portrayed as unhealthy, but Trump is the one that won't release his medical records. Also that Hillary is being portrayed as corrupt, while Trump is the one that won't release his tax returns. I guess some people are easily distracted.

 

[Kazukian]

Here's the thing, the public will forgive a lie, they don't forgive a cover up.

The right's spin is going to be "She can't last through a memorial, how's she going to last during the real thing?"

Folks, this is going to have some traction, and the optics suck, and it has been my fear that being one of the most visible people on the planet, and by virtue of that, one of the most photographed and videotaped people on the planet, that the cover up was going to fall apart.

So, despite multiple videos, you're still going to stay with "she stumbled"?

Like I said, spin this shit all you want, today may have just put an orange dumpster fire in the POTUS's chair because of her damn ego.
