Clinton leaves 9/11 memorial early due to 'overheating' - Update: diagnosed with pneumonia

[Bismarck]

Hope she's fine. Not a Hillary fan by any stretch but I don't wish her personal misfortune.

[Frodo]

I'm sure she appreciates your concern-trolling and crocodile tears...

Breaking News:

"Police are rushing to the Jill Stein headquarters to arrest her and her campaign staff after authorities learned that the Stein campaign deployed a new WiFi device near Democrat Hillary Clinton to melt her brain, which then overheated."

Clinton gets heat exhaustion in 90 degree weather in full dress cloths. Trump doesn't pay people, runs scams and rapes people, who is worse?

The question is not about who is worse, but who is fit to be president.
Hillary clearly isn't due to her health problems. She should drop out and the Dems should appoint a new nominee.

Oh how I love it when "blue" avatars are Hillary supporters. Like that woman has ever really been nice to a Republican.

I hope Illary Clinton is feeling better and stays in the race.

Fake conservatives like you are the reason why the party is likely going into permanent second class party status. Hatred and racism won't win nationally and as older people die off it makes it even harder to win statewide across the country.

Whatever helps you sleep at night. Hillary Clinton is not and never will be a friend of any member of the "vast right wing conspiracy" a/k/a a Republican.

Maybe if the fight came with facts instead of actually lying and making sh**t up like they used to we wouldn't be in this situation?

I fainted on a football field in 2005 after not eating breakfast and marching a whole pregame show in 100-degree weather and in a hot wool uniform.

Should I be fired from my job?

If you'd be caught on tape while watching porno and masturbating, should you be fired?

And if nominee would be caught doing the same?


It doesn't look good. Period.

[Erich Maria Remarque]

Why would that matter?

I think you are a fake conservative. Anyone who would even consider voting for Clinton is not a conservative.

Some "conservatives" think Trump is fake about nearly everything, and his presentation seems most similar to what a hopelessly narcissistic reckless crypto fascist would say. So why would it be unreasonable for a conservative to vote for a prevaricating liberal, given that? What does "conservatism" mean anymore anyway? The grab bag of characters affecting that label, are all over the lot. What do Ryan and Trump agree on when it comes to policy? Not much.

God I hate labels. All I ask is for someone who is honest, has a good temperament, and displays good judgment.

[ProudModerate2]

Dem hacks, do you honestly believe she should stay in the race?

I fainted at my work once. Should I have been told to quit?

Exactly.
Stop Ljube. People have dizzy spells all the time.
The wording in your comment makes you sound like an a**hole.

ProudModerate, we have no idea what this is, but it doesn't look good.

I know "we" don't know exactly what it is, but YOU sound like a doctor and YOU know what it is.

Why can't people accept the most likely reason (hypothyroidism)?

[Xing]

Hillary might have health issues, therefore lets elect a tyrannical xenophobic madman.

Pretty much this. F*** this election.

[Torie]

Why can't people accept the most likely reason (hypothyroidism)?

You are probably right. But the Hillary campaign should get that all out there. And why did her meds fail her?

[Eraserhead]

It's only 82 in NYC for the record.

It's a weird event but I have a hard time seeing this change anyone's vote.

[afleitch]

Russians are probably poisoning her

Strenuous activity plus heat can make thyroid medications not as effective, and fatigue is a symptom. Sometimes things need to be adjusted too, common to see in medical records. I underwrite disability policies so I see it quite often.

I agree she should get it out there to quell concerns! Since it was a dizziness spell I think she needs to put out a neurological report to ensure that nothing is wrong there...

As for the meds part, it could have been any number of things (she forgot to take them, she took a double dose, she ate something that clashed with the meds, etc.)

Holy sh**t, the polarization on this forum is getting bad. Why are so many red avatars mad that this thread even exists? Can't report anything that could be negative about her? There's an automatic dismissal and then a turn of subject to Trump. And (some) blue avatars shouldn't be acting like medical consultants either. Jeez.

[ProudModerate2]

Ljube,
Read the post above.
This is a proper response to someone feeling ill or dizzy.
And not jumping to conclusions and hoping someone all of a sudden is "terminally" ill.
Are you even human ?

Um ... yes and yes? But what does that have to do with someone getting sick?

I think we're all just tired of the nonstop conspiracy theories coming from the Trump camp and incredulous that his supporters believe every single one of them, hook, line and sinker.

Making a thread about this and reporting on it isn't unreasonable. People jumping to the conclusion that this alone disqualifies her is what I'm reacting to. I've argued that Trump is unqualified before, but if something similar happened to Trump, I wouldn't say that this is particular made him unqualified.

I mean this is definitely thread-worthy, but my beef with a lot of folks in general regarding this is that they seem to forget or possibly don't even realize how hard a 18 month long presidential campaign is, and she's old, with known but managed medical issues. Serving as president will not be as physically taxing. People are acting like every little cough, tick or twitch is the biggest deal in the world and it's annoying as hell to read on a daily basis. She's old, and old people have problems like this. Get over it for christs sakes (not directed at you fyi)

Hello, hypothyroid woman here.

The meds actually are what make you more susceptible to heat, so this is probably on them. It's one of the most common side-effects. They make your internal organs much more happy, but the downside is less tolerance for heat. EDIT: http://www.rxlist.com/armour-thyroid-side-effects-drug-center.htm This actually lists the heat sensitivity as a "severe reaction" rather than common side effect, but uh, all the information I've gotten over the years lists heat sensitivity as a common side effect and the doctors and pharmacists just suggest avoiding long stints in the sun, because heat sensitivity is common with thyroid meds.

As a 30 year old woman who can't stand long periods out in the sun without some relief, I'm really impressed by her stamina. She definitely just needed some rest. As for being fit to be president, as long as she doesn't have to go lead from the front in some war, I think she'll be just as fine as anyone else her age.  So, yeah, she's fine.

It's the fact that this is being turned into an indictment of qualifications. People are allowed to not feel well and still be qualified to run for office. It's actual qualifications and issues that matter.
