Why is it surprising that the presidential candidate kept working even while ill? Women do it every day
As the cover of nearly every newspaper and news site in America made abundantly clear Monday morning, Hillary Clinton, the Democratic candidate for president of the United States, cut short her appearance at 9/11 memorial ceremony on Sunday and later disclosed that she’d been diagnosed on Friday with pneumonia. In a more normal world and in a more normal year, that information might receive a public round of supportive get well wishes, and then we’d move on. But these, as we are painfully aware, are not normal times.
Clinton’s health has been a front and center topic of public speculation and armchair diagnoses for several months now, all couched in the vague concern about whether this woman — this woman with actual political experience and knowledge — is less qualified to run the country than her Twitter-troll reality-show-star opponent. It’s a popular old ploy: Ladies, aren’t you too weak to do this stuff? Why don’t you just sit down and have a lemonade and leave the heavy lifting of running the world to the menfolk, dear?

Good. Let her “power through” 3 debates which will each lead to Trump pulling further ahead. Let her power right on through Trump’s win and inauguration. Let her power through a REAL investigation of her and her husband’s criminal enterprise. Let her power through negotiating a lighter sentence for an aging, ailing woman by going state’s evidence on Obama. And let her power right on through some real prison time. I’d be good with that.
Good one!
Assuming the Pneumonia story is a modified limited hangout, what is there that is much worse than Pneumonia that would cause them to use Pneumonia as a cover story?
I’ve had pneumonia.
Anyone who believes that hillary has pneumonia is an imbecile.
Whatever it is, it’s NOT pneumonia.
