Hillary Clinton's Health Scare Creates Major Campaign Moment (Odd: ABC hits Clinton health lies)

ABC ^ | 11 Sep 16 | Rick Klein

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.

>> Random act of journalism.

CBS also reported on it with surprising detail and footage.

“WaPo hammered the crap out of her today.”

Their best bet now is to get her out and to get Biden in. But it needs to happen quickly. Time is running out.

They can’t hide Hillary’s condition anymore and she can’t win.

[Parley Baer]

“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”

That statement is a riot in its own right. The media has been the more than willing accomplices in covering up Hillary’s health issues. Now he is trying to blame the Clinton campaign for misleading them. Bwahahahahahahaha

[BwanaNdege]

"Dyskinesia may also appear after long term use or high dosage of drugs used to treat psychosis such as schizophrenia."

[combat_boots]

COULD she launch nukes? Deliver a state of the union speech?

[TigerLikesRooster]

This is so hard to deny. We have clear visual evidence that she has a serious heath problem. When this kind of situation develops, they cannot run the risk of losing all their credibility to cover up for her. They need to protect their credibility to mention the episode. They give just enough to make them appear credible. They are temporarily pulling back and assessing the situation. The moment this thing blows over(which I doubt,) they will go on attack, relentlessly supporting Hillary and savaging Trump.

[catnipman]

“they won’t pass up on a feeding frenzy”

seems that way. WaPo just hammered the crap out of hillary today too.

Scary as hell, isn’t it?

Understanding Breathing Problems with Multiple Sclerosis A Look at the Breathing Problems That Can Occur with MS

By Julie Stachowiak, PhD Updated March 25, 2016

People with multiple sclerosis (MS) are more likely to have breathing (respiratory) problems along with the well-known symptoms of tingling and numbness, fatigue, the MS hug, and the memory problems. In fact, it's estimated that about 30% of people with MS have decreased respiratory function. In one study, 32% of people with MS reported mild dyspnea(difficulty breathing or shortness of breath) during moderate physical activity.

If you have MS, chances are you score low on pulmonary function tests that assess the strength of the muscles you use to breathe.

What Do MS-Related Breathing Problems MS Feel Like?

Patients who have MS tend to have shallower and faster breathing than those who don’t. This condition is the basis for most MS-related breathing problems, which include:

Shortness of breath Difficulty breathing deeply Hiccups, Cough, Frequent sighing, Not enough air,

If you have one or more of these breathing problems because of your MS, it may make you feel anxious and as if you:

Are trying to breathe with a blanket over your head

Have a heavy weight on your chest

Are unable to take a deep breath

What Causes Breathing Problems in MS?

It used to be thought that breathing problems in MS first occurred in later stages of the disease. However, it’s now believed that the severity of breathing problems in MS is more closely related to the severity of a person's disease: That is, a person having more (and more severe) MS symptoms and related disability is likely to have more (and more severe) breathing problems.Breathing problems in MS can be caused by one or more of the following factors:

Sensory Problems. MS-related breathing problems may be the result of abnormal respiratory sensory information involving 1) respiratory pressure (abnormal pressure in the lungs), 2) airflow, and 3) motion of the lungs and chest wall.

Muscle Weakness. Many people with MS score low on measures of respiratory muscle strength, such as mouth pressure tests. Mouth pressure measures the functioning and strength of respiratory muscles by testing maximum inspiratory (breathing in) pressures and maximum expiratory (exhaling) pressures. These have been shown to be between 60% and 70% of normal even in patients with low MS-related disability.

Side-effects of Medications. Some drugs prescribed to help with MS-related pain or spasticity (muscle tightness or stiffness) can cause slower, shallower breathing. These include muscle relaxants, tranquilizers, and opioid-based pain medications.

Aspiration Pneumonia. MS-related swallowing difficulties or inability to clear mucus from the nose or throat may lead to aspiration pneumonia, which can occur when liquid, mucus, and/or food particles enter the lungs.

How Severe Can the Breathing Problems Get? It is extremely rare that MS-related breathing difficulties become life threatening or so severe that the person requires breathing assistance (breathing tubes or supplemental oxygen).

However, even fairly mild breathing problems can cause severe fatigue, further contributing to MS-related fatigue. In addition, the feeling that you can’t get enough air can lead to panic attacks and severe anxiety.

“Men are not going to vote for a sick old woman to be POTUS”

Nobody will. Wouldn’t vote for a sick man either.

She can’t do the job.

Turnout for her will be very low. She is done.

[TigerLikesRooster]

Correction: to by mentioning the episode.

[Right-wing Librarian]

To me, what appears to be odd media behavior warrants pause and speculation.

Why would they suddenly hit Clinton’s health lies?

I suspect they are getting the “OK” from the Global bosses to do so....getting ready for the candidate switcheroo move.

[HamiltonJay]

Exactly... Trump lost 2 weeks and momentum when he let himself get distracted with that Kahn family nonsense... he needs to STAY ON MESSAGE.. Corruption, Immigration, Free Trade, Crooked... do not say anything about her health unless directly asked, and even then just say it appears she seems to be having some problems and I hope she is able to get the help she needs.... or something equally innocuous.

DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT make her health a plank of your campaign, let your attack dogs and surrogates go after her about her health.. You stay on MESSAGE! Incompetent government, ineffective leaders, bad deals, corrupt politicians, illegal immigrants, Horrible economy... etc etc.. STAY ON THE MESSAGE that has been winning you the election since day one.. Hit her on her fraud, hit her on her emails, hit her on her selling of access to pad her illegal slush fund.. but let your surrogates go after the health issue.

If you don’t and you start directly personally attacking her on her health then the topic becomes her health, not all the other things that have been winning you this race for the past year! And so while the topic of her health may not be great for her, it kills time and is far better for her to be talking about then her taking Millions of bucks for selling access to our government to foreign players etc... etc etc... STAY ON MESSAGE!

[xzins]

I agree with low turnout.

Not just low morale, but honest assessment. They can’t vote for Trump and there’s no one else to vote for.

Johnson hasn’t been following the Syrian War. The greens are wacko birds.

Is this the quality of healthcare AMERICANS can anticipate from the ‘new-improved’ HILLARY CARE? Reason enough to vote TRUMP/PENCE.

[WMarshal]

Trump should kill her with kindness and spend $400K on a top of the line tour bus with custom emergency care equipment. Plus $10k in flowers.

It would literally kill that grifter Hillary to turn it down.

[o-n-money]

MSM smells a loser. They want a new candidate.

[gubamyster]

This is not going away. Hillary is done.

You must not have gotten the new memo: 1. Hillary showed great strength by soldiering on through to the 9/11 Memorial despite being on so severely sick since Friday.

2. She was bullied by big, bad Donald Trump & the mean-spirited media, who have hounded her about her whereabouts, into going despite her illness.

3. She is a woman & is subject to the double standard of being treated as the weaker sex, therefore she had to go while she was sick. Such bravery. Just the kind of leader we need in the White House.

I kid you not. This is the crap the left is peddling now.
