Doctor: Clinton has pneumonia, but ‘recovering nicely’ after 9/11 wobble
2016-09-12
[IsraelTimes] Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as The Heroine of Tuzla and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Frederick T. Frelinghuysen ...
 abruptly left a 9/11 anniversary ceremony Sunday after feeling "overheated," according to her campaign, and hours later her doctor disclosed that the Democratic presidential nominee had pneumonia.

A video showed Clinton slumping and being held up by three people as she was helped into a van after the event, and her doctor said in a statement that Clinton had become overheated and dehydrated. "I have just examined her and she is now rehydrated and recovering nicely," Dr. Lisa R. Bardack said in a statement.

The physician said Clinton has had an allergy-related cough, and that during a follow-up examination Friday, the candidate was diagnosed with pneumonia, put on antibiotics, advised to rest and modify her schedule.

Less than two months from Election Day, it was an unwanted visual for Clinton as she tries to project the strength and vigor needed for one of the world’s most demanding jobs. Republican rival Donald Trump has spent months questioning Clinton’s health, saying she doesn’t have the stamina to be president.

Clinton’s departure from the event was not witnessed by the news hounds who travel with her campaign and aides provided no information about why she left or her whereabouts for nearly two hours. Spokesman Nick Merrill eventually said Clinton had gone to her daughter’s nearby apartment, but refused to say whether the former secretary of state had required medical attention.

Clinton exited the apartment on her own shortly before noon. She waved to news hounds and said, "I’m feeling great. It’s a beautiful day in New York."

After leaving her daughter’s, Clinton was driven to her home in Chappaqua, New York, and made no public appearances. She was scheduled to fly to Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Monday morning for fundraising and it was unclear whether her schedule would change.

Trump, who attended the same event marking the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, was noticeably restrained. Asked by a news hound about Clinton’s health incident, Trump said, "I don’t know anything."

#36  Dems be looking to replace her and maybe that the plan from the start

Hillary was unelectable from the beginning: Clinton baggage, Bill baggage, failure as SoS, selling access to State Dept for Clinton Foundation donations (CORRUPT) lying about Benghazi, lying about her emails, on cusp of indictment for her crimes, fixing the dem nom against sanders


she was always unelectable


the dems be looking to dump her

replace with Biden or Sanders, probably Biden -- but maybe promote Kaine from VP?

a fresh face = a fresh brand

a fresh surprise to snatch voters who don't like Trump but hated Hillary. they will vote for a blank slate rather than trump

so that be the game plan for the dems?

lucky Trump is LOVED by many for his GOOD POLICIES

#35  But you are not trash, Glen, you have not littered the earth with horrible foreign policy, spoiled brats, dead Ambassadors, random death and destruction, annihilation of power structures in the middle east,awful healthcare plans, dead burning bodies, graft, Pay to play schemes, and fake platitudes.

They are the trash at the lowest end of the park. See what I say?

I was getting a trailer myself but that does not make US trash.

#31  Well Chelsea's husband robbed Greece & investors and her father-in-law did jail time for a Ponzi scheme so I guess she is off to a good start.

#29  Chelsea's only chance for a political career is for Hillary to pass. Americans don't like dynasties much but the sympathy might get her over that hurdle.

#28  #11 Trump has to watch his six. The feral govt is a Clinton criminal enterprise now.


Indeed he does. Hildabeest was the establishment candidate--probably because she and Bill have shit on everyone. They won't go down easy. Hopefully, the Beest won't can't run in 8 years. Look for Chelsey to run if she doesn't go down with the Clinton Foundation. The executive branch needs a good house cleaning and serious paring down.

#25  She has mild Parkinsons via her hacked e-mails.

She has advanced late stage Parkinson's. She's a deader. She will be lucky to make it to Election Day.

newc - I will do no such thing. This could not have happened to a 'nicer' person. To her, I am 'deplorable' and she'd just as soon jail me and you for having a different political opinion. F&ck this Alinskyite and everyone who follows her.

#15  How long has she been having serious coughing fits? At least a year that's a long time to have pneumonia.

Posted by: g(r)omgoru   2016-09-12 08:50  

#13  We will see reruns of her. Pictures everywhere.News will say better health than ever. No public speaking tours. Edicts from the white house. All the while she will be kept in a glass faced upright casket embalmed. Her mind downloaded to a computer so she will continue on indefinitely. Media babble to control public thought. First woman and first robot president a combination the left would embrace with childlike glee.

This is not what they say and they just made it worse.

She is doing this to keep out of Prison and it is probably hell on her.

She cannot be President, and this has been said from before she ran.
This is over
