You deplorable, racist, xenophobic, homophobic, mean-spirited alt-right neanderthals! She didn’t faint. She was performing a dramatic recreation of the twin towers collapsing.

That’s right. I have had patients that fainted. They call it a possible syncopal episode.

Could be many things. Orthostatic hypotension. Dehydration. Seizure. Heart arrythmia. Bradycardia.

At her age, with her medical history and her importance she will be worked up for all of these.

I read she was going to go to her daughter’s apartment. I’m sure they took her right to the hospital for tests and checks.

Fox “News” is working with Romney (yes, that Romney
through Stuart Stevens and others)
to put down Mr. Trump calling him “fat”,
and protecting the Witch of Benghazi
as Fox “News” always does.

The Soros-Clinton-Islamic press is on with FOX “News”
to murder what remains of America.

Reducing blood pressure to the point of passing out? Maybe if she OD’d on the meds.

What I think happened was that she fell ill and then feinted from all the sulfur vapors emanating from her body.

Yes, it is possible to faint from the heat and I have done so, in NYC, but NEVER in 74-80 degrees ( which is the range it was when Hillary supposedly "fainted" ) whilst just standing around!

I fainted from the heat, during recess, when I was a kiddo in NYC, but it was at NOON time and the temperature was pushing, if not 100 degrees. Also, we were all running around and the humidity had also been extremely high that day.

WHY DOES HILLARY ALWAYS WEAR SUCH HEAVY LOOKING, LONG SLEEVED PANT SUITS, NO MATTER THE TEMPERATURE?

No way did Hillary faint/feel faint, FROM THE HEAT, today...it was something else!

Remember your first aid.

When you suspect someone is suffering from a heat problem, do you lean him or her up against a post?

No.

Remove clothing and cool.

They won’t remove her clothing even when she’s in danger.

Why?

Aren't salt pills illegal, for the sodium content? It's sort of hard to keep track.

Just about everything that was going to kill you a year ago is good for you, and vice versa. I'm sort of waiting to be able to start smoking again.

I have vasodepressor syncope aka soldier faint. Locking the knees can bring about a faint. She was pretty rigid...her knees may have been locked....

Not that I think this is the problem...just anecdotal

79 degrees is not exactly a heat wave.

Fox just read a statement from her doctor that said she was diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday
Still doesn't explain away the stiff posture, malfunctioning legs and having to be dragged into the van.
How will they explain it if she has a spell at the debate and starts twerking on stage?!

It’s so true!

It was hot this morning. So what? Do we believe she was sleeping in a tent in Central Park before she showed up at the memorial? No!

She was sucking on her vodka bottle, with Huma at her side, being fed grapes by her fat black male servant in 65 degree temperature while watching lesbian porn movies.

I hope the St. Regis or the Sherry Netherlands fumigates her room.

Stiff as a board pretty much says it. She did not faint.

Of course it is, I've seen it in real life. Doubt that's why she went face-plant.

Add up her VERIFIED concussion, blood clot, corrective lenses glasses, thyroid problem, her age and weight, tripping, now fainting, not to mention her moments of a 100 yard stare. It's obvious the woman definitely has a debilitating disease or syndrome. The root cause remains speculative.

If it was heat stroke, why did she have her coat on all the time she was walking/being helped to the van & all the time she was waiting for the van? If you were overheating, wouldn’t the first thing to do would be to take off your coat?

While waiting for the van, she was standing under a shade tree.

This “overheating” story is complete BS. She didn’t faint and wilt to the ground. She was passed out on her feet & held up by the pole & her handlers.

As others have said, the handlers/medical staff weren’t surprised, indicating this has happened many times before. Also, if this hadn’t happened before and they didn’t know what was wrong with her, they would have taken her to the hospital emergency room.

Elderly sick people are very sensitive to fainting from even mild heat stress.
Healthy people not so much.
