Not sure about Gov. Dayton, but Hillary did not merely faint, had a full-on neurological collapse indicative of serious underlying illness(es).

********************************

I was being sarcastic about Hillary. My point was that he did not merely faint either.
I have never seen someone lose the ability to speak before they faint. I come from a fainting family (due to low blood pressure) and none of us start slurring our speech before we faint. We just faint.

Possibly a stroke or serious episode of hypoglycemia. Could be diabetic, on insulin or just have problems with low blood sugar events. Confusion, slurred speech can precede fainting in either scenario.

Prayers he is fine. His son said he is ok, but I am not sure it is normal to faint especially when their is no physical activity and he was in an air-conditioned building.

Dayton has serious health issues. Mostly mental. He is on an array of prescription drugs for many years. He is an nut, but he is also a nut.

I almost fainted while doing multiple squat thrusts in Army basic training at age 23.

This can be as simple as dehydration.

We need to set back and wait for the official line on this.

Dayton has a sketchy medical history. This is likely more than just a fainting spell.

We can’t keep being nice while they are vicious, THIS is the lesson of Trump.

This man is a lunatic, read about his lunacy over at powerline. I wish for him EXACTLY what the libs would wish were he an R.

He takes meds for depression; I think those dehydrated him,plus he’s sixty nine yrs old.

He used to be a goalie, and he’s much more reasonable than most Dems in this state.

I hope he didn’t have something more serious.

I heard a short part of his speech just before he collapsed.

Sounds like a big time stroke to me.
