Are you worried about Hillary's health?

[5280]

Are you worried about Hillary's health? Her recent coughing seems to be a serious issue with some people. Does she have a cold or seasonal allergies?

[Xing]

No (sane, not looking for literally any reason to justify picking a racist moron over her)

[Classic Conservative]

No (sane, but she needs to buy something for her allergies)

[Joe Biden is your president. Deal with it.]

No but I seriously hope she doesn't hack away in the debates

[Wells]

No (sane, not looking for literally any reason to justify picking a racist moron over her)

Well, it turns out Trump's really corrupt and Clinton just had a press conference, so they're running out of ways to justify it.

[Erich Maria Remarque]

No, but since the perception ≠ reality, I'd happy, if Trump'd focus on that once in a while

[5280]

Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with her. I think the media is just making a big deal about it.

[Virginiá]

No. For gods sakes, it's just coughing. If you went in to the Drs with fits like she has been having, they would tell you overall that it's 99.9% likely nothing to worry about. Hell, let's even say she has or got a cold or some issue minor, insignificant issue. Big freakin' deal. Are we forgetting that she is human? Since when do humans not get allergies, colds or other minor issues?

It's hard to overstate just how insanely ridiculous this little narrative is. I don't even know how to debate this to be honest - If people are stupid enough to be "concerned" about this, then how do you explain that's it is completely fine/non-serious crap? What people should be concerned about is how petty others are being by trying to make something of this.

The only thing related to this that I am worried about is her getting a fit in one or more of the debates. The media/right will run wild with it, despite it not being a big deal at all.

[Figueira]

If she dies, we get President Kaine. Sounds OK to me.

[emailking]

Yes in that I don't want anything bad to happen to her, but no in that I don't think it's particularly likely that anything serious will happen.

[Hermit For Peace]

Not. At. All.

[Orthogonian Society Treasurer]

Not worried, just curious as to how Acting President Kaine will govern when Clinton inevitably succumbs to the pressures of the job and has to be hidden from the public eye.  Maybe Bill will become a sort of Edith Wilson 2.0? Interesting stuff.

Since WHEN has Hillary EVER succumbed to any pressure? The pressure has been intense on her, her entire adult life. She is used to it.

[136or142]

I'd prefer Tim Kaine as President anyway.

Seriously, who wouldn't?

This.

The media either doesn't like Hillary (though I think she knows why) or thinks the Donald will be good business.

Are you worried about Trump's mental health? Besides that, it's obvious that he's the one with actual health problems. He's clearly overweight which means he likely has high blood pressure and diabetes, as well as a risk for heart attack and stroke. Plus, it's not really hard to determine that he's on some sort of tranquilizer and possibly even a neuroleptic.

This. Anyone who is 50 pounds or more overweight and over the age of 55 is going to have SOMETHING serious wrong with them. Probably Diabetes-II. Though that doesn't mean they are going to croak. My Uncle, since he was younger than me, had Agent Orange poisoning and CHF and still lived 50 years with those conditions.

B-b-b-b-but Trump!

[Nyvin]

B-b-b-b-but Trump!

Actually...bringing up Trump is quite a legitimate argument here.

In response to OP:  Heck no,  you've gotta be kidding me.

I've had a mild sore throat and a bit of a cough for the past couple of days myself. Does that make me physically unable to go out into society or go back to school on Thursday?

Like all other mild ailments, this too will pass. All Clinton needs is a glass of water and maybe a Ricola or two.

[Coolface Sock #42069]

Yes, which is why I'm glad she picked a young running mate.
