For the last few months Drudge, Breitbart, and all the Trumposphere blogs have been speculating that Hillary has some sort of brain condition, heart problems, parkinsons or some fatal disease.  And they've explicitly connected the latest coughing into their basket of symptoms they use to diagnose her imminent death.

Actually turns out she just had pneumonia, and they were all completely wrong.

I'm sure we'll see a ton of "they were right all along!" coverage about Trump and his buddies vaguely claiming Hillary was sick in one way or another, when we all know it was a validation of the social media conspiracy theory that she had brain damage/was dying.  It's bullsh*t but that's why I've given up on following this election, the coverage is just unbelievably frustrating.  Thank god the NFL is back.

By the way the most disgusting part of all of this is that these gleeful Trumponauts are still hoping that she'll turn out to actually have brain damage or terminal illness, and not even because they want Trump to win but because they want her to suffer and die.  Let's not pretend that's not true.  They're not just imagining her dropping out of the race and Trump winning; in the privacy of their minds they're giddily imagining Clinton on her deathbed or drooling in a wheelchair like Ellen Burstyn at the end of Requiem for a Dream.

Well, it's true. She has pneumonia and didn't tell the public because she knew she was being held to a ridiculous standard that put her in a catch-22 scenario.

Even Michael Moore called her out on this, given it's obvious this was hid in selfish reasons as you note (It would hurt her in the polls).
Given the fact she's running to be President requires that us voters give all possible scrutiny on her (As well as Trump to be fair). Whether the "Red Avatars" in this thread want to acknowledge it or not, she got overheated in mildly inconvenient weather to the point she had to be manhandled into a vehicle. If she can't handle roughly 90 minutes of sedentary activity in the sun, what is she going to do in the event of a major crisis that forces her to go days without sleep in high intensity situations (See the example of JFK during the Cuban Crisis)?

Where was this full schedule in August, incidentally? As well, if steadily losing a lead in the polls and having a medical episode is a good week, god help us all if she has a bad one while President.
(For the record, this is my first post here. I've been a long time lurker, but the amount of mental jujitsu attempts in this thread finally got me to make an account.)

Her illness is not permanent.
So why are you talking as if this will be something that will affect her, if she were to become President ?
If it was a severe case of pneumonia, or some other major illness, than I can understand your discomfort with her not being open about the sickness. But I think this whole thing has been blown-up to a point, that she is basically dying (which is obviously ridiculous). She walked out of her daughters apartment (with no help) soon after she went in to rest and was seen by some medical people. Would someone with a severe illness have the strength to do that ?

It hasn't appeared to significantly impact her performance now even at the height of the illness given that she had a very busy schedule this week and gave several press conferences where she was sharp and knowledgable as ever.

She appeared for a few minutes, with several SS agents nearby as the video showed. Last I read, she's also now in Chappaqua for additional rest.

It's like 3 AM
