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.

My only concern about these events as they relate to the election is that it happened too early in the cycle. (I have zero concern for Shrillary herself! Absolutely none.) There's still time to insert a replacement - the Dim leadership has almost certainly made the call to the bullpen to get a few relievers to warm up. The timing of a public episode would've been better in the middle of October.

I want her to stay in it, though. Not only because she's a flawed candidate. But I want her and her Marxist ideology to face the humiliation of being rejected in a nationwide election for all to see.

Trump gets the high ground for a while and can focus on issues only

I think Trump could just say - "I missed seeing Mrs. Clinton at the 9/11 event, heard she was sporting her new Ozzy Osbourne look"

Hillary deceived her strongest allies in the leftist media and left them hanging.

They are not happy about it and will retaliate.

So if/when she drops out and Crazy Uncle Joe steps in “for the good of the country,” what happens in the states that have already started voting? I see this as the next Bush v. Gore round of lawsuits. The best way forward is she continues to look frail but doesn’t drop out. And really, she’s a Clinton...she won’t quit voluntarily.

I think they are furious with her behind closed doors.

Everyone is. They are in fits that she allowed herself to become their candidate.

My Mom died of complications from MS. This has looked like MS the whole time, to me. And MS does jack with your brain, especially if you are liberal or not grounded.

That said, I doubt Clinton is going to give up. Folks will be Arkancided before she gives up. Also, it has been less than four days that the press was all in the tank for her.

The Trump team may do well to begin opposition research on possible HRC replacements now.

Definitely. I would hope they had already been doing some. While the MSM and Clinton's lackeys have been denying she has any serious health issues, anyone and everyone else with a room temperature IQ or above can easily see there's something very very wrong with Clinton.

Hopefully they've been "keeping an ear to the ground" as the saying goes to get some insight into who the likely successors are to the nomination if/when Clinton has to drop out, or simply gets taken out by her illness(es) whether she likes it or not. I'd guess that if Trump's "message" has seemed a little off target or overly broad recently that may actually be "preparing the battlefield" to engage a likely successor to Clinton. Trump is the kind of guy who plays three moves ahead of the competition.

...Trump should go back to focus on the real issues, immigration, terror, economy..and if asked about Clinton, say he hopes she is OK and leave it at that...

Agree 100%. Would completely negate the 'rats and MSM's planned attack vector on him, and instead make him seem like a compassionate person who plays fair and knows he doesn't need the health issue to win. He could come out of this with as much in the plus column as Clinton is getting in the minus column.

***Men are not going to vote for a sick old woman to be POTUS. Sorry for sounding like a sexist pig but it is what it is.***

I don’t think that’s sexist at all. A woman, or if y’all prefer, a voter, with half a brain cell is not going to vote for someone who is this ill. Not only that, she’s mentally ill and evil.

She won’t be able to take ANY calls, much less the important “3:00am” calls.

Her pallor, is awful. She looks like she’s lost weight by looking at her face, yet her body looks bloated. If these are doctors paid for by the DNC and all they want is to stick her in the White House, they are unethical, unless she’s calling the shots and is literally willing to kill herself to be President. I’d say she’s well on her way.

I’ve had patients in hospice who were close to death who looked better than her.

* I will however say this, I was diagnosed with pneumonia about 4 years ago on a Tuesday. Drove myself to the Dr, ran errands, actually didn’t feel that bad. And I was not coughing much at all. By Friday morning, I woke up and knew I had had a major decline. My son hurried me to the Dr’s office and they rushed me over to the ER. I knew with what they were doing and how quickly they were doing it, along with how many staff they had doing it that I was as sick as I felt. I credit the ER docs and nurses for keeping me out of ICU, considering I also turned out to have a partially collapsed left lung, and pleuracy.

I spent 4 days in the hospital, and I kept having to go back to the Dr for follow ups because I still felt so weak. He told me it could take up to 6 months to get over it, and it did. I was only 40.

This woman isn’t getting diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday, fainting on Saturday, and then coming outside a few hours later to say she was fine. If she has pneumonia that bad she’d be in the hospital. Hillary has a serious neurological problem/injury. And with her being on Coumadin I think she’s been throwing clots, at least in the past. She is also definitely having seizures.

I personally don’t think it’s Parkinson’s. But that’s just my opinion based on what I’ve seen.

Irlen colored glasses. Used for light sensitivity, dizziness, depth perception, etc for people who have some type of traumatic brain trauma. They are used for other neurologic disorders but you have to be tested to see which color lenses work best for you. And she was out in the sun. I’ll be interested to see if she keeps wearing them.

It likely has worked both ways.

Evita Clinton was DUE the Presidency! She’s furious with TPTB that 0zika was the chosen *one*, over her, in 2008...with the promise that she’d be the next in line.

She fell/crashed/got sick naturally (??) and has progressively gotten worse for wear. She was not about to disclose the true nature, or gravity, of her illness with the chance of preventing her owed succession, her *right to reign*.

TBTB have had to have known that something is up, with her health.

Either this is part of their plan...to replace her, somehow, at the last minute/postpone the election, etc or she has a really good, tightlipped team that has helped suppress her secret. Being threatened with Arkancide can promote that kind of loyalty, I’d imagine.

I must admit I was surprised at all the detailed reporting in the MSM. I thought for sure this video and everything else would be tossed down the memory hole. I guess they couldn’t stop it once it went viral on social media.

They might be getting somebody ready in the on-deck circle.
I don’t know how they could replace her at this late stage, however.

Sorry to hear about your Mother. You have a better handle on the disease than most of us.

The heat intolerance has been a key diagnostic symptom for those not yet diagnosed. Our area had a lot hot tubs decades ago. When patients had issues like Illiarily had in the Gay Pride Parade and yesterday, their docs suspected MS. They would have them try a hot tub or sauna again with someone monitoring them. If the symptoms happened again, they diagnosed them as probable MS patients. As the disease progressed, it bore out their original diagnosis.

A few years ago, an adult son of friends suddenly started having the problems MS patients have with heat, when he got into their solar heated pool in the daytime when the sun kicked up the temps. At night a few hours after the pool cooled down, he had no problems and enjoyed his swim. My wife told the parents, they needed to get him to a neurologist. Thousands of $’s later for tests and finally a MRI confirmed that he had MS.

Our friends with Parkinson’s seem to do better with heat. One moved from our cool winters/springs to Florida a decade ago. He does very well back there. This past winter we had two other friends with PD do a nose dive healthwise in our cold January. We have had a cool spring and summer and they haven’t really recovered. This is anecdotal and may have been the normal sequence of their PD.

The heat intolerance shown by Illiarily during the Gay Pride Parade in NYC and yesterday at NYC might well be an early warning signs of MS. The temps in NYC and yesterday and during the Gay Pride Parade were not hot for those of us without MS, yet a danger for MS patients.

Thanks for your comments and please add your personal experience with MS re your Mother, re IlLiarily and her serious health problems being obscured by her entourage.

On Fox & Friends this morning Trump said he had an extensive physical exam and would be releasing it soon. Heard later he will be on Dr. Oz going over the results at a later date.

That is all he has to do. Not mention her at all, jut his own results. I suspect BEFORE the debate on the 26th.

“Biden is the only one with both.”

Name recognition yes but credibility? Only with the brain dead who would vote for a purple turtle as long as it has a big D after its name. If Biden has credibility then they all have credibility.
