How about a more believable explanation like: congestive heart failure, treated by diuretics leading to dry mouth & coughing fits.....?
“this happens to me every Labor Day”
She is LYING once again, of course.
Hillary is a chronic pathological liar, it’s what he does.
The Mediascum, especially the ones on that plane, are her enablers.
This is why she is hiding most of the time. She doesn’t know when the coughing will start in. If she hides, there are less photos and videos of her issues like coughing and struggling to climb stairs, etc.
She can’t laugh off too many more of these spells.
ABC covered up the plane coughing fit she had later that day. They showed her talking about the ‘conspiracy theories’ about her health. Then failed to show a few minutes later she couldn’t continue speaking because of the coughing.
Fortunately, we have the net. For now, that is.

They better have oxygen at the debate. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if she does it by video.
Just imagine, she has the best docs and drugs in the world and she can’t work for an hour without falling apart.
Right in the middle of her “Russia-Trump Conspiracy” lecture to reporters aboard her plan,
...
Lecture? Wasn’t that supposed to be a press conference. Even Fox news got the memo.
It could be any number of lung diseases like TB or lung cancer God willing, but it sounds to me she has an issue with her epiglottis so when she swallows saliva or water is getting into her lungs.
Let’s get factual.
She has a cough (obvious). It is a chronic cough (present > 6 months). The differential diagnosis of chronic cough is enormous (trust me), from trivial things (allergies) to deadly things (cancer). Her roadies stand at the ready with cough drops (cough drops!) to help her through attacks, so they know about it.
Those are the facts.
Now, speculation, based not on my training but on my knowledge of human nature.
The campaign is trying to hide this. That’s why she is in hiding, and only comes out when absolutely necessary. She brings cough drops (cough drops!) because she has a reasonable anticipation of a coughing fit.
Completely benign explanations ARE possible (most chronic coughs are benign). But a completely benign explanation (other than allergy to Donald Trump!) would be revealed, in fact would be widely publicized, because to not do so is not in her interest.
So, a completely benign explanation (e.g., post-nasal drip) is not the most probable thing. A post-nasal drip should not affect a candidate’s chances of election, one way or the other.
They did not expect the Cleveland event to be as bad as it was (speculation).
People with serious illnesses cover them up, sometimes. First of all, from themselves (fact). Second of all, from family (fact). Third of all, from people who rely on them (common, fact).
So, while staying away from diagnosis (not nearly enough facts), it’s reasonable to believe something is up with the candidate, it’s something with potential to alter the outcome of the election, it’s something they won’t disclose (and “they” may only consist of the candidate herself), and it would be most useful to know what it is.
And no, if I were her doctor, I wouldn’t tell anyone either.
I watched both coughing incidents. This woman has serious medical problems. She was fighting to keep her breathing normal. These were not just ordinary coughing fits. This woman should not be running for POTUS, under any circumstances. Could destiny be sending the American Republic and its people, a message of clear and present warning?
Support & vote for Donald J. Trump for POTUS!!!
It’s the hugest lie ever to stay in the race for president when she knows she is too damaged to handle the job
Surely she can’t be in so much self denial to believe she can perform the duties of office
Could be the chronic cough. Her handler was seen with case of Doritos and cheese dip, and 2 liter bottle of Mountain Dew.
Maybe the microphone was marked “C” and she thought it meant cough.
