Will Hillary's fainting spell affect her in the polls?

[Fuzzy Bear Loves Christian Missionaries]

What the heck is Donald gonna do? Attack Hillary for feeling faint? That might make her look more sympathetic, not less qualified.

Trump has to (and should) do nothing. The video will speak for itself.

Agreed here.

This will affect Hillary in the polls.  It's not a death knell; she's in the process of dying (politically) by a thousand cuts, and this is one more.  It wouldn't be a problem with a candidate with a better reputation for honesty, but Hillary is a liar in the worst "lily-gilding" mode, and she now has a reputation for this. 

Hillary's supporters will not leave her over this, but I suspect that this will cause SOME Republicans who are not supporting Trump right now to at least agree to vote for the Trump-Pence ticket.  It's an issue that allows uncomfortable Republicans (some of them) to justify voting for a Republican candidate who is their last choice amongst Republicans.  That's a loss for Hillary, and it's all because she started out with a reputation for dishonesty that grew during the campaign.

Why would the possibility of a Kaine presidency (rather than Clinton) invigorate Republicans to vote Trump? That makes no sense.

Voters who, at this juncture, are strongly identified with one of the major parties are often in an uncomfortable situation, in that they are faced with "not being loyal" or, if they're voting the other party, voting for someone whom they probably have serious disagreements with.  Undecided Republicans who wish to support the ticket but can't come around to Trump are, at least subconsciously, looking for a reason to vote Republican for President.  This is sufficient for some of these folks (not all, but some) to "come home" to Trump.
