The collapse barely registered. The MSM talked about it briefly, and after that it was under the rug. She “powered through” it, and that was the end of it.

I brought it up to a Hillary supporter. He said, without the slightest inflection, ‘You mean the time she got dehydrated.’

Even though his words were dismissive, there was a certain look in his eye. To me, the look said, ‘If you try to blow this minor incident out of proportion, it will prove that Trump supporters are mean, low, cheap-shot haters—just like Trump.’

There are times even now, with so many alternative media outlets, when the MSM still matters. This was one of them.

Respectfully I could not disagree more

The time she was paralyzed, then fell on her face, and left a shoe in the gutter?

Sad but true.

The MSM still controls the daily narrative and in turn controls many of our so called conservative politicians.

I could not disagree more as well. The video of that 9/11 collapse was chilling. She utterly lost control of her body and would have done a face-plant right on the concrete if she was not surrounded by handlers who deftly grabbed her and literally chucked her into the van like a side of beef. Strangely, those around her appear to have been through the drill before. The only difference was that there was somebody there to capture the video and get it out to the public.

She is not well and I don't think the November defeat was as devastating to her as it was to her followers. I think for her, there might have been a sigh of relief. She obviously felt duty-bound to "power through" the campaign but the rest and relaxation is probably doing her a lot of good right now. Even if I did not detest her, I would have to deem her unfit for the presidency.
