Hillary Clinton had a cough - a nasty, recurring cough that she could not kick after a week of trying. So on Friday morning she went to her doctor's office, not far from her home in Chappaqua, N.Y., to find out what was wrong. Lisa R. Bardacks diagnosis: pneumonia.
Bardack prescribed antibiotics and suggested that Clinton cut back her schedule and get five days of rest. But the Democratic presidential nominee refused. The election was just 60 days away, and Clinton wanted to grind it out - and that, to her, meant not telling many of her aides, let alone the public, about her illness.
Clinton's decision set in motion perhaps the most damaging cascade of events for her in the general-election campaign - giving fresh ammunition to Republican nominee Donald Trump, who lags in the polls, and spoiling a two-week offensive she had plotted before the first debate.
[Snip]
Clinton's instinct was to keep working and say little about her illness, according to interviews Monday with Clinton campaign officials who gave accounts of the events. She left Bardack's office and headed into Manhattan to convene a meeting of national security advisers. Then she parried questions at a news conference. And then she mingled with donors at the fundraiser.
That's where the problems began.

... overwhelmed by her duty to serve the public ... !
Hilly, don’t be a hero!
How you can tell when us Newsers are scared ... we shift our manure spreaders into overdrive!
She tried to tough it out and it derailed her presidential bid.
Before you feel sorry for Hillary, consider that she kept the truth about her illness from the American people and refused to share it with her lapdog media.
Both of whom deserve to be viewed with contempt.
Interesting how all the Rat media came up with “power through” stories on the same day. Almost like they were all told what to write and say.
It’s just another lie about another lie about another lie about another lie about another lie about another lie about another lie about another lie about another lie about another lie about another lie about another lie about another lie about another lie about another lie about another lie about another lie about another lie about another lie about another lie about another lie about another lie about another lie about another lie about another lie about another lie about another lie about another lie about another lie about another lie about another lie about another lie about another lie...
They’ll do anything to prop her up.
But her political corpse is deader than Bernie’s.
Technically she isn’t a “martyr” just yet.
This is laughable. She’s off campaign trail for days & weeks, skips press conferences for nine months but “powers through” for this event? Truly pathetic.
Martyr implies she did nothing wrong.
Oh wait - that too, is a lie.
To me, martyr implies she is dead.
So not only is she the smartest, but the bravest woman in the world. Just her and pneumonia in a pitched battle of wills. And remember, she did it for the children...
Her campaign died of self-inflicted wounds.
Trump wasn’t anywhere near the scene of the crime.
And this is supposed to be the smartest woman in the world.
She's a such a trooper. [/sarc]
The Propaganda Wing of the Democratic Party are going into overdrive portray the Wicked Witch as simply not wanting to let down the American People. It isn't going to work, because she is going to get worse and so there will be more public displays of her deteriorating health.
So like she went to the doctor, and the doc Bardack said, “Yo, you got pneumonia.” Clinton be like, “Say what?”
Despite the setback, tenacious Clinton grind it out like John Wayne.

Yup.
For Hillary, there is no cure - the debates won’t help now.
Trump looks like a model of sober judgment and stability next to her.
No contest. Its over.
Hillary didn’t listen to her doctor’s advice.
When you read between the lines, even the faint praise is damning, indeed.
I really doubt that she has pneumonia.
Cover-up story.
