Democratic Election 2016 - Hillary Clinton Megathread [OFFICIAL]

[Symphonic]

Hillary's getting dragged into a car unconscious lol, but she doesn't have health issues, right? Looking forward to the debates

I think that one has been "doctored"

People can faint and be in good relative health. Fainting itself doesn't mean one has serious medical issues that are impacting their ability to lead and negotiate.

We had a president with polio, and he was the greatest of all time.

Fainting doesn't really mean anything. ������

Hillary could be the next FDR?

At the time, Roosevelt convinced many people that he was improving, which he believed to be essential prior to running for public office again. He laboriously taught himself to walk short distances while wearing iron braces on his hips and legs by swiveling his torso, supporting himself with a cane. He was careful never to be seen using his wheelchair in public, and great care was taken to prevent any portrayal in the press that would highlight his disability.

Hillary also had metal up her trousers.

If only the US were so lucky.

Already heard from the doctor. She has pneumonia from allergies and she was dehydrated today. Neither of these are issues relevant to her ability to be president.

[PC2]

Your failure to understand words isn't semantics.

The issue with "conscious" is inherently semantic. Semantic is by definition about the meaning, as opposed to syntax.

[Waaldo]

You don't need a medical degree for common sense, fortunately

Coming from a person who has medical experience, clearly you fucking do. Notice how she is leaning on that post, head up, unassisted? That's not something an "unconscious" person can do. She takes a step on her own, then wobbles. That's a sign of weakness, not unconsciousness. Them dragging her forward is what caused her legs to drag, as would any person being dragged, unconscious or not. She had no reason to fight back, she was not being kidnapped. But that's just common sense

Now her doctor diagnosed her with Pneumonia, which could easily cause her to feel overheated and weak after spending time in the sun and I highly doubt plenty of sleep is something she ever gets.

But please, keep spewing your conspiracy theories, it's amusing how far people will reach.

FDR didn't have polio while in the Presidency, and its contested somewhat if it was even polio that paralyzed him in the first place. He was paralyzed in 1921. He was in office starting in 1933. Also FDR was sort of a badass that Hillary is definitely not, he actually likely worsened some aspects of his condition by overtraining and at one point in time was worried about going blind thanks to the facial paralysis. He took MANY months to recuperate... so had he been trying to go for the Presidency, it is without any doubts he would have failed to do so effectively either because he was dropping out or because fear was he couldn't even do the job.

The canned excuse from Hillary's doctor of allergies --> pneumonia --> heat exhaustion and dehydration are not uncommon for people that are Clinton's age. However, most people Clinton's age couldn't do much of ANYTHING at this point in their life because they're elderly and infirm. A President cannot be the run-of-the-mill elder who should be spending their twilight years playing Bridge and enjoying daytime TV and calling family because of failing health, have you seen what it does to otherwise healthy and younger people?

If she became a heat casualty in the "balmy" NYC weather today, her immune system is heavily compromised because of the pneumonia and you don't just get pneumonia unless you were already immune compromised to begin with. And no, allergies isn't immune compromised enough by itself... that's just sad.

[Tragedia]

Seems like Clinton camp didn't want news of her pneumonia out, especially given the crazy conspiracy theories about her health, and then the worst thing happened.

The 'worst thing' is that pneumonia goes away rather quickly, so this news is pretty bad news for the 'clinton is dying!' camp.

Not sure how. You make it sound like the 'clinton is dying camp!' would care about the truth.

Clinton gets unwanted attention, the press focuses on her health, the nazi pepe twitter brigade throw a party, and Donald Trump's phone is locked away.

Friday, day Clinton diagnosed w pneumonia, she appeared at 2 fundraisers, ran a 2-hour natl security mtg, did a presser, sat for CNN intvu

That's actually kind of an impressive drive.

Pneumonia doesn't go away easily for the elderly.

There is a real mortality risk for elderly with pneumonia, flu, and the common cold.

Well we better stop electing old people I guess. In the mean time....

Where were all the republicans saying it was a risk for McCain to be elected?

Oh right nowhere..............

Or for Trump, cause y'know he's older than Clinton? Nowhere...
@Mafic your logic is terrible.

Already had two people hit me with a "What do Hillary and the World Trade Center have in common?"

Both can't be melted by jet fuel?

I am actually impressed that she's showed up being so sick. Obama dips out on important events he should attend for vacation and golf, and here Hillary is, probably should be in bed, running full day schedule.

Both her and her husband have long been noted for their work ethic.

Hillary Clinton's wobbly incident Sunday is a near-textbook case of what can happen with "walking pneumonia" — patients don't feel great, but they're not sick enough to stay home in bed or to be hospitalized.

[lockedout]

We already had conversation about that. The semantic police remind us we dont know if she lost mental awareness even though she obviously lost physical control.

Apparently her doctor is now saying she had a pneumonia.

My nan died from that and she was near Hillary's age, not to be snubbed.

I mean at 68 nothing is to be snubbed, but it apparently wasn't a particularly strong bought.
