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

[Erich Maria Remarque]

It would affect her if she wasn't running against Trump.

As Emails/Foundation didn't. Am I Right?

[Virginiá]

You literally just took all those words and shoved them in my mouth. Not worth responding too.

You're right, sorry. I just assumed you meant if you were 'unsure,' that meant voting for Trump was on the table, which again to me makes no sense from a Democratic perspective. In the event of a serious issue with her, Kaine takes over. It's why he is there in the first place.

[Seriously?]

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.

[Ⓐnarchy in the ☭☭☭P!]

I mean, she literally collapsed in the face of terrorism so that certainly isn't a good sign.

[Hermit For Peace]

Unless she becomes permanently disabled for some reason and can no longer walk or talk, why should she fall in the polls? She needs to stop being a workaholic and start resting more. Other than that, she is the smartest and the most politically educated of the two candidates running for Pres, and our country needs her expertise and judgment much more than we need Trump's lowly form of entertainment.

[Deblano]

Yes, but not as much as her fainting spell during the debates.

[Panda Express]

Unless she becomes permanently disabled for some reason and can no longer walk or talk, why should she fall in the polls?

Because this is the United States.

And?

[Lachi]

I'm pretty sure that the debates will be air conditioned.

Isn't it what we do best?

About half of bad atlas is very, very stupid. Practically brain dead.

[longtimelurker]

I wouldn't think so but who knows. The video seems to be circulating like wildfire.

It's just hard to imagine people going "wow, this person doesn't seem healthy so now gonna vote for the other person" but Americans are a strange bunch.

Only 5% or less would need to.

Fortunately, the brain dead types can easily be distinguished by their red avatars

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.

[NHI]

Short term: Yes
Long term: No.

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.

[Buffalo Bill]

I actually do but not enough to cost her the election.  The Electoral College is too steep to climb. 

[President Johnson]

Unsure. It could hurt her, but it could also help her. I think there won't be a big change.

[komodozer]

Didn't she all but disappear during August?   Why?

What concerns me is that she recovers in a week, her doctors declare her healthy, only to have that recurring cough come back on the campaign trail or, worse, appearing sickly during the debates.

She was non stop fundraising. She didnt outraise Trump by 50 million napping all August.
