Hillary Clinton's Health Scare Creates Major Campaign Moment (Odd: ABC hits Clinton health lies)
ABC ^ | 11 Sep 16 | Rick Klein

Posted on 09/11/2016 8:56:49 PM PDT by xzins

Within moments of the episode itself, the campaign went into a vaguely familiar lockdown mode. When word did emerge from the campaign, the official account was that Clinton felt overheated at a 9/11 remembrance event and was feeling "much better" -- a story that seemed incomplete, based on video evidence that quickly surfaced.

Hours later came word that as that she had been diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday and placed on antibiotics. This came after days when coughing fits bad enough to stop her from continuing at public events had been blamed on allergies.

All of this may have been hard enough to believe on its face had Clinton and her aides not had a history of misleading the press and public when it comes to her health. The full story of her fainting spell in 2012, when she was secretary of state, may still not be known, and only began to be told when glasses she wore in public testimony revealed a more complicated truth.

Earlier this year, in relation to the unrelated matter of her personal email, Clinton declared that she was the "most transparent official in modern times." That statement strains basic credulity –- now more than ever.

Thanks...it’s late, but this is a difficult day for me, as two people I knew were murdered by the stinking MUSLIM TERRORISTS 15 years ago.

I’m sorry.

Trump’s talked about the reek of death for a long time at the WTC.

DNC won’t do it... only way Hillary is off the ticket is if she dies or goes into a coma on camera.... And even then maybe not.

NO ONE, not anyone in the DNC or the Democratic Party has the balls to tell the Clinton’s NO... if they did she would have NEVER been the candidate in the first place.

She is without question the WEAKEST candidate they have ever nominated in my lifetime.... The only shot she has ever had for winning is painting the R as a boogieman... that was it because she cannot motivate people to vote for her... never could.

They found the weakest candidate in the world to run against her in the primaries just to try to pretend to have some sort of race rather than an anointment... but even then she couldn’t put the old socialist grandpa away!!!

No one, not a single person at the DNC or in the democratic party has the balls to tell HIllary to step aside, it ain’t going to happen... She’s the nominee, unless she dies or goes into a coma on camera before election day, because no one, not a single person in that part will cross the Clintons on this.

I don’t know, I thought it might be nice if had tweeted something to the affect of “Clinton fell ill today. Hope nothing serious. Best wishes to Hillary and her family for a speedy recovery.” Kept simple, is gracious and puts further spotlight on health issues.

Can a candidate be replaced at late date, with early voting already underway. No.

In what states has early voting started???
I don’t believe that any of them have this week yet...

I would like to believe I am wrong.

But if Hillary is on some ballots but not others, will her votes count for whoever the democrats choose to take her place?

"Moon over Parador" movie - get a look-alike actor, keep her on the ticket and the puppeteers keep their policies in place, until the look-alike actor gets the itch to really take over.

North Carolina absentee voting has already begun, Alabame is on 15th, others soon as well. Seems VERY early.

Thanks.....

Yes, the smell of death hung over lower Manhattan for a very long time.

It is criminal that what happened on this date has been so easily forgotten by many Americans and NOT taught in school.

I agree. He should ask supporters to keep her in their prayers during his next speech.

True. A sign that the MSM really does “smell blood in the water” (and is willing to go after it) is if they start sinking their teeth into the question “what caused the pneumonia”? It’s not like there is a “pneumonia virus” that pops up all by itself. Even bacterial pneumonia rarely shows up out of nowhere.

My brother developed necrotic bacterial pneumonia... after years of abusing his lungs and body with heavy smoking and alcohol. After “recovery” and rehab, he was left with about 25% of normal lung function.

I just hope Trump stays on message... let your surrogates go after the health issue.. you stay on the message that has been winning you this election since last year.... Corruption, Crooked, Immigration, etc... Don’t get side tracked or distracted like you did with the Kahn family... STAY ON MESSAGE... You have this! Let your surrogates and attack people focus on her health as an issue.. do not make it a central issue of your argument... STAY ON MESSAGE!

You can say that again!

Let Christie, Rudy, or Newt do the dirty work.
