At 8:51 AM on September 11th, 2016 (per national weather service) it was 79° at Central Park. Around 9:30, Hillary was overcome by the heat and humidity at the Ground Zero complex near the southern tip of Manhattan. She was whisked away to her Secret Service van 3 hours ahead of schedule and was manhandled into the van away from the press, but at least one camera was rolling. She appeared to lose her footing going down a step and her shoe came off. By noon, she had regained her composure.
In today’s polls, Arizona is slipping away from Trump. Pennsylvania is getting solidy in the Hillary camp. As long as Hillary doesn’t succumbs to her health problems, Trump has no realistic chance to win. If Hillary loses the ability to be President or voluntarily withdraws, Trump will lose by even more, unless Dems pick someone unelectible like Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
The Washington Post belatedly is realizing the health issues are not a fabrication of Hillary’s “alt-right” boogeyman – she has real issues. Politico mentions she was diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday, which explains the green sputum and todays’s events.
Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs, usually either viral or bacteria. Pneumonia can be a marker for heart disease or a compromised immune system. In older people, it can take six to eight weeks to clear up, sometimes requiring intravenous antibiotics and/or hospitalization. Sometimes the patient doesn’t recover. 48,000 Americans over 65 died of pneumonia in 2013. One out of 20 people admitted to the hospital die. 12% of people discharged from the hospital are dead within 30 days, often because the pnemonia caused damage elsewhere, like in the heart.
With Russia and China probing for weakness, this is no time to have a president who might stroke out at any moment. As cruel as it is, part of the purpose of the primary process is to push candidates to the breaking point and see how strong they are.
I hope the DNC feels the weight of the survival of the United States on their shoulders and do what needs to be done. This is becoming an existential issue for the country.
Further details – she was diagnosed with Pneumonia on Friday, which was only disclosed after she had the diffilculty this morning. Her doctor in Chappaqua is in full denial mode, saying nothing is wrong and Hillary is feeling great.
The second video of Hillary’s overheating has been removed from youtube
After seeing the initial video, it has left no doubt in my mind, that Hillary is very, very sick. She actually begins to stumble before she stepped down in the curb. After, she steps down she actually passes out and lands on the floor of the van. She is instantly covered and protected from vies by the SS and her handlers.
I’ve had both the viral and bacterial strains of pneumonia. While sick, I have never stumbled or passed out. Oh sure, I’ve felt like hell but was able to do my daily chores, including walking my dogs, mowing my lawn (in the Texas July-August weather), and going shopping. I am nearly 80 and feeling fairly well, other than my knees (I used to jump from planes for a living).
The next few days we will see the media “circling the wagons” to protect her, doing a great disservice to our nation. Granted, I wish she remains the Democrat-Socialist nominee, I think anyone else would clobber Trump.
This morning, I see Chelsea Clinton’s name being mentioned.
The Democratic party is heavily invested in electing “the first woman president”, so Elizabeth Warren is more logical.
I’ve thought about culling the list of all the rationalizations and explanations of the incident from comment sections. The NY Times readers are in deep denial. The most problematic explanation from a well meaning supporter is that this is a common problem faced by post menopausal women. That kind of thinking just reinforces the notion that women are not equal in ability to men
Oh Chelsea’s turn will come, but only after Moochelle Antoinette Obama’s in 2024
After looking a the video over and over again, and the pictures preceding it I am convinced that Hillary is suffering from Parkinson’s Disease. I am not a doctor but there is a lot of information online regarding this disease. Her cobalt blue Zeiss sunglasses, her side-to-side movements, her hand postures while walking out of the memorial service, are an indication of PD. I am 75% convinced of this.
I can feed your theory. The medicines used to treat Parkinsons have a tendency to induce afib. Afib causes blood pressure to drop – it can become serious issue if it is chronic or prolonged – it can cause blood clots to form inside the heart that break free and float into the brain, and presto magic – stroke.
Less serious, the drop in blood pressure causes dizziness and ultimately fainting (syncope) as the brain runs low on oxygen. The body resolves that since when you faint, you wind up flat on the ground and circulation returns to normal if the lion didn’t eat you for lunch. All things considered, I’m about 75% sure that’s what happened to me in 2009.
The killer is Vfib – ventricular fibrillation. To use a car analogy, the atrium is like the input side of the car engine, a turbo charger or air injector – it is pulling in blood from your body and return path from your lungs. The ventricles are like the cylinder and piston. If the atrium stops drawing the blood, the main chamber’s vacuum still does the job, but less efficiently and makes the heart work harder. If the crankshaft breaks and the cylinder stops moving , that is vfib / cardiac arrest. Unless you get CPR and/or an electric shock to restart the heart, you’re dead.
Hillary’s doctors released her information, but left out the two most important pieces of information – her temperature and white blood cell count.. the doctor says it is mild non-contagious pneumonia, which should mean bacterial rather than viral or the more rare fungal.
She is your typical 60+ senior with multiple lifetime medicine regimens – Armour thyroid for hypothyroid disease, Clarinex antihistamines for breathing problems, Vitamin B12 and Coumadin, a blood thinner to prevent clots – but requires constant testing. If you get too little clotting ability, you can bleed to death or bleed inside the brain.
Donald Trump is fat and has elevated cholesterol. Clinton’s campaign manager says Trump is unhealthy.
Hillary is going to arrive at Greesboro, NC at 3:45 and probably go to the Woolworth’s lunch counter, birthplace of the alt-left movement. Allergy reports indicate a lot of ragweed pollen will be in the air…

Almost all of the brief conversation is Hillary announcing that CBS is making a new episode of Madam Secretary that will air on October 2nd
Actually, she is going to UNC-Greensboro…
