The Democratic nominee dogged by rumors of her deteriorating health after footage emerged of her coughing and gasping for air for nearly five minutes and suffering what seems like a seizure had another ‘medical episode’ on Sunday.
Hillary Clinton nearly collapsed on Sunday morning abruptly being swept away from a Ground Zero ceremony to commemorate the 15th anniversary of 9/11 with a half dozen staffers holding her up to prevent her from slamming head first into the pavement as she was dragged into a black van.
The video, posted on Twitter, shows the former Secretary of State wobbling back and forth almost uncontrollably reminiscent of the notorious seizure footage in which Hillary Clinton suffered uncontrolled spasms for 30 seconds in front of a pool of press reporters, leading to a horrified look on one AP journalist’s face, before regaining her wits and being shuffled off by staffers – an incident that has gone viral, but went unreported at the time.
Failing to stay on two feet at the 9/11 memorial service will be hard for the Clinton campaign to downplay coming at a time when Democrats are already clamoring for Bernie Sanders to come back into the fold after Hillary’s statements to wealthy donors discarding millions of Americans as “irredeemable” and what she calls a "basket of deplorables" highlighting what her opponents say is her elitist views. It now raises the question whether Democrats have a Plan B should Clinton be unable to fulfill her campaign duties with Hillary’s running mate Tim Kaine likely lacking the star power necessary to fend off the insurgent bid of bombastic billionaire Donald Trump.
Many Americans are also left to ask whether a vote for Hillary Clinton may ultimately be a decision to make the relatively unknown Kaine the nation’s Commander-in-Chief. Highlighting the chaos in Democratic Party circles is a statement by Bakari Sellers, a Hillary Clinton surrogate and CNN political contributor who openly said "Does she need to prove more [medical records]? That is a legitimate question to ask."
Political reporter for Time Magazine reports that the former Secretary of State will be temporarily removing herself from the campaign trail in light of the most recent incident and returning home to Chappaqua after being rushed to her daughter Chelsea’s apartment following the incident.
Although Clinton emerged saying that she "feels great" and her campaign has gone into damage control mode suggesting that the incident was merely a bout of dehydration, Hillary may soon be fending off calls by her own party to drop out of the race leaving the door wide open for either Bernie Sanders or Joe Biden to replace her. Democratic Party bylaws stipulate that in the event that a presidential nominee drops out due to health related or other reasons, a special meeting would be called by the chairperson to find a proper replacement. It is also possible that Congress could move to delay Election Day in the event that the decision occurs too close to November 8. To date, a nominee for a major party has never withdrawn or died prior to an American election with the closest historical corollary being Vice President James Sherman who died of kidney disease six days before the 1912 election – his name remained on the ballot and the election proceeded. Watching the video below, it is hard to know whether or not the Democratic nominee may be the first to bow out in history.

Bernie may be easier to beat than Biden.
I can so easily imagine John McCain voting along with the Democrats to delay the election because it is only the “fair thing to do quote.”
I got $20 that says McCain will be the one to INtroduce the Legislation!
Is Chelsea over 35? Anyone think that they might shoehorn her in there?
Is there ANYTHING in the Constitution that addresses a candidate keeling over after the primaries?
The way I see it, the ‘rats picked this dog.
They should have picked someone who was healthy enough to go the distance.
There are a lot of Bernie fanatics out there. Biden will be easier as he’s a certified imbecile.
Michelle Obama?
Hill-arious!!
Wonder if she regrets putting the Hospital logo in her own logo now.
Looks like the Pine Tree Flag (An Appeal to Heaven) I’ve been flying is getting some results!
“Democratic Party bylaws stipulate that in the event that a presidential nominee drops out due to health related or other reasons, a special meeting would be called by the chairperson to find a proper replacement.”
DNC laws are meaningless when they contradict federal and state laws including the constitution. The DNC can name anyone they want as their candidate, but that does not put their name on the ballot. And you sure can’t transfer already cast Hillary votes to any other candidate.
Don’t forget this... Would the government go through all this if it was the Libertarian candidate who needed to be replaced?
Ha! A definite possibility.
Overheasted? I think not. They literally had Hitlery propped up on a cement pole like “Weekend At Bernie’s”. She didn’t even take one step. She was out on her feet.
“Is this staffer really a nurse in this photo. Is she checking her pulse?”

Probably just helping her to walk. But note Hillary does seems to feeling for a heartbeat herself.
(Only to hear a Tinman-like empty echo)
Chelse Clinto could replace her—Or Kerry would be a good choice (a re-run) or Biden. Leave Kane as VP or Berney could be VP. Or Brown of California?

I knew it looked familiar! didn’t make the hospital-sign connection til I read your comment, tho! heh.
They don’t need to replace her. The dead already vote in droves for Democrats, so it stands to reason that Democrats can vote in droves for a dead candidate.
If Mika had a brain, she’d be out in the street, playing with it.
You’ve got great links to the views of this event. It seems more severe even than Parkinson’s.
Interesting to note: look at her as she is leaning against the pylon with the female aide holding her up. If you were dizzy or dehydrated or even sick with a flu, as you were waiting there your head would move a little, you see the car come up, you look slightly up or to the left or in any direction. People are moving their heads slightly, all the time. Also arms. Sure, you’re not well and leaning on a pylon. But that right elbow of hers is in a weird position and she NEVER MOVES IT.
I think in addition to the seizures she has some sort of catatonia or stiffness as well.
I had a dear friend die of systemic wasting disease. It starts out like Parkinson’s and EVERYTHING shuts down. A horrible way to go. I don’t think he had any seizures though.
She is one sick human. If someone has to be that sick, she was a good choice. Finally Vince and Ambassador Stevens are feeling a bit of Justice, maybe.
“Democratic Party bylaws stipulate that ... a special meeting would be called by the chairperson to find a proper replacement.”
LOL, that’s basically how Hillary got the coronation in the first place.
