The Democratic presidential nominee appeared to faint on her way into her van and had to be helped by her security, the source said. She was “clearly having some type of medical episode.”
"Secretary Clinton attended the September 11th Commemoration Ceremony for just an hour and thirty minutes this morning to pay her respects and greet some of the families of the fallen," Clinton spokesperson Nick Merrill said in a statement. "During the ceremony, she felt overheated so departed to go to her daughter's apartment, and is feeling much better."
But a witness told Fox News that Clinton stumbled off the curb, her "knees buckled" and she lost a shoe as she was helped into a van during her "unexpected early departure."
But then other news outlets picked it up as well.

I still think she needs to do a public appearance and address the issue.

DeleteEXCLUSIVE: Trump didn't get post-9/11 funds for helping people
ReplyDeleteDonald Trump’s tale about why he took $150,000 in 9/11 money is as tall as the Downtown skyscraper he says he used in recovery efforts, according to government records.
Though the billionaire presidential candidate has repeatedly suggested he got that money for helping others out after the attacks, documents obtained by the Daily News show that Trump’s account was just a huge lie.

"Trump had earlier gone to a charity in New Jersey — the Charles Evans Foundation, named for a deceased businessman — and asked for a donation. Trump said he was raising money for the Palm Beach Police Foundation.
DeleteThe Evans Foundation said yes. In 2009 and 2010, it gave a total of $150,000 to the Donald J. Trump Foundation, a small charity that the Republican presidential nominee founded in 1987.
Then, Trump’s foundation turned around and made donations to the police group in South Florida. In those years, the Trump Foundation’s gifts totaled $150,000.
Trump had effectively turned the Evans Foundation’s gifts into his own gifts, without adding any money of his own.
On the night that he won the Palm Tree Award for his philanthropy, Trump may have actually made money. The gala was held at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, and the police foundation paid to rent the room. It’s unclear how much was paid in 2010, but the police foundation reported in its tax filings that it rented Mar-a-Lago in 2014 for $276,463."

Nope, it's not going to help her at all. It's going to hurt big time. I've been hearing that she's having terrible health issues. She's going to have to get through the debates and I hope she is able.
ReplyDeleteNo one knows what actually was the cause. She could have food poisoning and felt bad.
DeleteTrump has been hammering on her being 'sick'.
If his team put together photos of him, they could 'prove' he is sick and how bad his health is.
I hope he doesn't have a stroke, unless it is on camera. He may not be able to get through the debates.
So people are falling for Trump version of things and 'hope she is able to get through the debates.
Unless you are part of her medical team anything "you hear" is as worthless as the voices in Trumps head.

"Four new state polls out Sunday morning from NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist show that although Donald Trump leads in typically red Arizona and Georgia, they are up for grabs. And in typically close Nevada and New Hampshire, Hillary Clinton leads, but only by a razor-thin margin."
I doubt this 9/11 incident is going to register, nor will it make a difference. If it did, all of the illegal campaign contributions and dirty deals Donald has made that were just revealed would impact him.
I didn't see a stumble in that second video. Only saw her duck to get into a van.
DeleteThe daily mail has an article on how emotional Hillary was at 9/11 in talking with first responders. She was livid about the White House (Bush) lying to people about the quality of the air. It would certainly be understandable if she became upset at the memorial, all of those memories flooding back. Plus the heat and all.
11:59, are you really that dumb about Hillary? How embarrassingly naive.
DeleteWhat a true patriot. The multibillionaire who took money from the 9/11 victims needs to apologize to America, give back the money he took and dropout of the presidential race

Trump proclaimed that he is the master negotiator that President Barack Obama and other candidates are not.

The new rule, which the Department of Health and Human Services proposed last week, says that states cannot withhold Title X federal family planning money from certain recipients for any reason other than the provider’s “ability to deliver services to program beneficiaries in an effective manner.” That means states can no longer vote to defund Planned Parenthood because some of its clinics offer abortion services.

DeleteTwitter is full of people talking about how hot it was today at that memorial.
ReplyDeleteHowever that is not going to be enough.
Hillary needs to make a personal appearance today looking strong and fit and joking about this morning.
If she doesn't this thing is going to spin completely out of control.
And fortunately it won't make a bit of difference in the long run.

Yes, it would be good for her to make an appearance today.
DeleteBut for cryin' out loud, am I the only one who remembers that GHWB once threw up at a State dinner in Japan? Funny how I don't remember the immediate hue and cry over his fitness to serve as Commander in Chief.
She is walking, waving and smiling. Let her regroup. I have confidence this will be thoroughly addressed. Not just releasing some reactionary crap.
Delete10:54, GHWB did not have constant concerns about his health. He became ill with either food poisoning or the flu during a foreign travel dinner. The two are not comparable. However, I would like to remind everyone of Poppy Reagan, who was suffering from Alzheimer's throughput his presidency. At least Clinton has her mental capacities.
DeleteMSNBC shows her leaving, waving to the crowd, chatting with a little girl, then getting into the vehicle unattended.
ReplyDeleteShe is dressed in a dark blue suit, possibly with a long sleeved white blouse, appropriate for the occasion.
Those in the crowd are in shorts, men included, short-sleeved shirts and hats etc. to shade from the hot sun.
She says the allergies are an issue and I suspect that doesn't help.
Let's hope this doesn't spin any worse than the rumors already have. We need her more than Drumpf's thugs have any idea they need her to save them from themselves.
allergies
DeleteI have that and vertigo. I know there have been times I looked drunk when just walking down the street. I am glad no one was photographing that. No one would care, I'm not a celebrity or a politician, but it would not look good.
I can just imagine how the alt right will spin this. Hillary and any candidate go through physically brutal campaigns. It would be hard enough for a 60 year-old, but for a woman her age to take on that schedule, day in and day out, would weaken any one of us. Heat stroke, affects people as they get older, and that doesn't include them going through jet lag and gruelling traveling and campaigning, etc.
ReplyDeleteWhat this incident will do, however, is show the unpresidential true colors of Donald Trump. Expect him to go on a tweeting frenzy about this, or mention it at every turn. Most humane people won't tolerate him bad-mouthing her because she felt faint. He'll open those loose lips of his and make some disgusting remark. That may be the last straw for the undecideds.
Real people with real health struggles won't tolerate another Trump insult towards chronically-challenged adults. His boastful "I'm in perfect health" will finally dawn on the middle class and the middle aged that he's not the candidate who can feel the normal challenges of the little man.
The pee pond is celebrating this with glee today, but who would ever call them "humane."
DeleteI'm a year younger than Hillary and several times this summer had to get inside and lie down for heat stress working in my garden. Never happened before, but this summer has been brutal.
Deletethe alt right
DeleteThey have their dream video. Bannon can do a 'documentary' on her health and show all the previous and this. It will be in Trump's ads. Sarah can redeem her journalism career since she an expert on health and falling.
They best watch out for the blowback on this...not cool to be seen looking gleeful that someone has a health episode.
ReplyDeleteGet Hillary's back now, ya'll!
Ps...I grabbed my friends arm and stopped her from falling off a 100 ft cliff during a sudden onset heat exhaustion episode when we were teenagers. Her mom sent me Christmas cards until she passed away a couple years ago.
She needs a new visit to her doctor and a fresh release of records. Otherwise, she (and we) are never going to hear the end of this episode.
ReplyDeleteIt would also put further pressure on Trump to release something other than that self-promo "medical" letter.
I agree. If she releases fresh records, at least it should highlight Trump's failure to ever do so. Any idiot has to acknowledge that Trump's "record" that he produced was a satirical farce.
DeleteAs if pressure on tRump would do any good? The man is beyond shame.
DeleteThat's what I would do: nip this story in the bud ASAP.
DeleteJust saw a video MSNBC posted and she clearly could not stand on her own, knees buckled and shoe came off.
ReplyDeleteHe can lie, cheat, and steal. He can contradict himself with every statement, and it seems people don't care. But she can't make one misstep, or say one false word. It is really sickening. Does America really want a charlatan for President? I so hope that man does not win, but I'm very worried.
ReplyDeleteOkay that last video changes everything.
ReplyDeleteAt this point I no longer have any confidence that Hillary's victory is a certainty.
This is bad, really, really bad.
She needs a new exam by her doctor and a very detailed clean bill of health.
No G'man. Don't drink the Kool-aid
DeleteOMG, that is awful. I hope she's okay. America really needs her right now.
DeleteA lot can happen before November, Chicken Little.
DeleteGryphen, I rarely disagree with you and hope your fear is not warranted. After cooling my jets, I give the voters more credit and feel they are smart enough to realize that Tim Kaine far outdistances Drumpf so think the voting will only get better for HRC. They need to keep her hydrated and I wonder if she also had a protective bulletproof garment under that high-necked blouse, not under the jacket. Too much clothing, period.
DeleteAnyone else think they should check to see if she's been poisoned?!?!
DeleteI'm seeing more hysteria here than anywhere else except daily mail. I've checked HuffPo, msnbc, nbc , abc, cnn....they're reporting it, sure, but I think the video released an hour or do later has helped.
DeleteG, I agree, it's very bad, it could change everything. Acting like it didn't happen is not going to fly.
Delete8:52 AM Agreed.
DeleteIt is bad since you know how this will be used. In reality that video is what it is but not something that could not have been taken of other candidates if filmed at that time when they had a problem.
Yes, Hillary releases tax info. She needs to do follow up on health now.
Trump will do whatever when it comes to others. He will not release tax or health.
He seemed to mock the whole doctor report/letter deal.
He seems confident he will never have to release anything since he does not want to. He has a GI track doctor in his pocket. He can write his own heath report.
You floks must really like the fit of those blinders. Hillary's poor health has been a topic for some time now, and her stumbles, episodes, have been occurring with increasing frequency. You would have to be completely ignorant to pooh pooh this as unimportant and to think it won't have an effect on her candidacy.
DeleteEven Gryph is finally admitting it. Little late but the truth cannot be ignored.
I have suffered from orthostatic syncope my whole life. This is not uncommon when standing still in a hot environment.
ReplyDeleteYeah, and skippy who let 9/11 happen vomited on the japanese. So...
ReplyDeleteNo, his daddy barfed, not Skippy.
DeleteDumbys choked on a pretzel and fainted, actually he got drunk and passed out.
DeleteIt was the old man. I am shocked the Republicans didn't call for him to step down or impeach him.
DeleteJunior couldn't open a door in China. When he went to the Olympics in China it was no big deal he was proud to wave the US flag upside down. He needed a lot of assistance when he kept looking like he would fall over. His sickness was alcoholism. You know how transparent the Republicans were about that?
Ignore The GOP Noise, Hillary Clinton Getting Overheated On 9/11 Doesn’t Matter
ReplyDeleteRepublicans want voters to believe that Hillary Clinton getting overheated at a 9/11 ceremony is a big deal, but they couldn't be more wrong.
...Republicans are already ginning up the distraction machine to claim that Hillary Clinton getting overheated at a ceremony that according to those present was boiling hot, is a valid reason to disqualify her from being president.
This is simply another attempt by Republicans to distract from the fact that their nominee is unfit for office. Hillary Clinton’s health is not an issue. Donald Trump’s lack of positions on the issues, refusal to disclose information about his finances of health to the American people, frequent lies, and the investigations into Trump’s business practices are all valid issues.
The Hillary got overheated on 9/11 so she can’t be president crowd is trying to create a false equivalency to distract from the fact that there is only one candidate who is qualified to be president in this election, and that candidate is not Donald Trump.

Hydrating is extraordinarily important. Without enough H2O we simply buckle. Plain old water all day long, and sometimes a little salt in it can save many an ambulance trip, especially if you are doing a lot of talking.
ReplyDeleteVasal-vagal response - pure and simple. Any perspiring ups the need for the "Water is life" regimen. Simple, simple, simple. Not enough volume in the body to keep the brain on track.
I know first hand, but learned my dizzy spells, buckling, were just not enough H2O. Hot days I drizzle a little salt in the water. Cured.
It may look worse than what more water for HRC would fix, but remember that is how she got her concussion - dehydrated and then she fell. Been there, know it is simply lack of fluid and someone needs to be "carrying" water for her all the time. NO joke!
Hydration is so important. For a number of years I worked in a very hot environment (food processing). I was always so concerned about my crew. Some had stationery jobs and some were heavy physical jobs. I bought large plastic containers and kept them filled with cold water. I always provided Gatorade to those who wanted it - the company would not provide it.
DeleteI do not doubt she neglects herself at times - and yet something so simple as always carrying a bottle of water is a good idea. She also needs to shed the jackets in hot weather - a loose cotton top that breathes would be better.

WATCH: Krystal Ball Hits Whiny Trump Supporter With Reality That ‘Deplorables’ Love His Campaign
ReplyDeleteWhen a Donald Trump minion whined about Hillary Clinton referring to Trump supporters as a “basket of deplorables” Krystal Ball was there to destroy her with the truth.
During a face-off between Ball and Scottie Nell Hughes on CNN on Saturday, Hughes threw a hissy fit because Hillary dared to slam Trump’s racist hateful supporters and called her “desperate.”
The problem is that Trump’s supporters are exactly what Hillary called them. They are deplorable racists who have stooped to bottom of the barrel politics. They have called for killing or imprisoning Hillary and have committed violence against black people at Trump rallies all while disparaging Latinos and calling President Obama a terrorist.
And Krystal Ball had no sympathy for Hughes considering everything Trump supporters have said and done over the last year.
“To be honest with you, the truth hurts. I don’t know that it’s half of Trump supporters, but you can’t deny the fact that you’ve got the David Dukes of the world in his camp backing him strongly. You can’t deny the fact that if you go on white nationalist website Stormfront, they love their glorious leader Donald Trump. You can’t deny that when you go to his rallies you hear the N-word thrown around casually and Hillary Clinton referred to as the B-word.
So, he has tapped into this very ugly stream in America…I think it’s frankly important to point out the kind of company you’re keeping if you’re going to back somebody like Donald Trump.”
And Ball is right. Trump’s campaign is a sea full of racist bigots who hide under white sheets, think we should persecute Muslims, and think women should submit to the will of men.
In fact, polling data backs up Hillary Clinton’s remark.

Syncope, also known as fainting, is defined as a short loss of consciousness and muscle strength, characterized by a fast onset, short duration, and spontaneous recovery.
ReplyDeleteOrthostatic faints are most often associated with movement from lying or sitting to a standing position, standing up too quickly, or being in a very hot room. The classic example of a combination of these is seen in the frequent fainting by medical students in the operating theatre during observation of surgery.

ReplyDelete...So on this 15th anniversary of 9/11, Republican former Vice President Dick Cheney attacked the sitting president of the United States in order to blame President Obama for the mistakes of the Bush Cheney administration.
I’ll give you a sense of Cheney’s rant in the Wall Street Journal published on September 9th, but the tl/dr version is wah wah Obama bad, Republicans great, everything is Obama’s fault, Obama weak, Obama helping enemies, etc. You’d think Obama wasn’t the guy who got bin Laden when Bush and Cheney couldn’t be bothered.

ReplyDeleteWhat I don't understand is that we expect these candidates to be super humans when really they are just humans, like you or I.
ReplyDeletePrimarily, why she was out in the extreme heat dressed heavily in layers and dark colors? She should have been in a light dress, perhaps wearing a hat to shade her, ditch the pant suit for once; a nicely tailored light colored linen coat-style dress can be just as professional and a nice big sun hat can look smashing.
I can imagine many of us would have become very heat-stressed dressed as she was in the hot city. Remember, the inner city asphalt jungle environment can be as much as 20 degrees hotter than areas with grass, so she was probably hanging around in 100+ degrees with too many dark clothes and no head covering. Add a little dehydration to that and boom, lot of folks would faint like a goat.
Right. Why does she have to dress like a man? A suit like she had on would make me hit the pavement.
DeleteExcept when Hillary wore skirts and dresses in the 90's, she was ripped apart by the press for her calves and ankles.
DeleteI was heat-stressed in northern Michigan this afternoon while walking on a pier along Lake Michigan with a nice breeze blowing and low humidity. The temperature and humidity weren't nearly as high as they must have been in NYC but the sun, as in NYC, was very bright and I started wishing I had worn shorts and not slacks and I really looked forward to getting back to the car.
DeleteI imagine she was wearing dark colors as most would at a memorial for the dead.
DeleteShe probably doesn't wear a hat because then her face is covered and the press can't get a good shot.
Yes, she should have at least dressed lightly, been in the shade, been hydrated, etc.
She also should have had a hanky to pull out and dab her eyes. That would have covered her need to leave. I think being distraught or emotional is a better excuse than heat exhaustion.
Regardless of what caused this incident, it only strengthens the chatter about Hillary not being fit to hold the office. This gives proof to those who want to believe that she is unfit and gives serious cause for concern to those on the fence and the undecideds. I do not think the Clinton campaign can recover from this fall. Americans will be reluctant to vote for a person that they don't believe is healthy enough for the job.
ReplyDeleteBullshit! She has my vote and none of my friends have changed their minds either.
DeleteAmericans have a short attention spanthis will be forgotten in two weeks.

Delete"Donald Trump cannot possibly serve as president if he keeps embracing Russian leader Vladimir Putin, two top former spymasters argued in a scathing editorial."
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/morell-and-vickers-an-open-letter-to-donald-trump/2016/09/10/1af395dc-776b-11e6-be4f-3f42f2e5a49e_story.html?utm_term=.2e8f3f445348
"Mr. Trump, with all due respect to you as the presidential nominee of the Republican Party, you cannot credibly serve as commander in chief if you embrace Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Russian leader has repeatedly shown himself to be an adversary of the United States. Putin, during his long tenure, has repeatedly pursued policies that undermine U.S. interests and those of our allies and partners. He has steadily but systematically moved Russia from a fledgling democratic state to an authoritarian one. He is the last foreign leader you should be praising."
"At the Commander-in-Chief forum on Wednesday, you said that as long as Putin says nice things about you, you will say nice things about him. That is not a standard on which a candidate, or a president, should make policy decisions. That should not even enter your calculus. Your only question should be, “What is in the best interests of the United States?”
So, here is our challenge: Demand that Putin stop his aggressive behavior overseas. Demand that he stop his dictatorial moves at home. Tell him that you will live up to our NATO commitments and defend the Baltics, if need be. Tell him that you want to work with him on solving the problems in the world — but that he must behave in order to do so. That is what a true commander in chief would do."
Where was donald, oh right, he could not be bothered to go to 9/11 ceremony.
ReplyDeleteActually he was there.
DeleteThere's that, too.
DeleteYeah, he might have overheated and FAINTED.
DeleteWhere ARE his medical records?
I can't believe I'm doing this. But he was there. He humblebragged about helping to clean up after the buildings fell, and of having the tallest building again after the twin towers fell. But the bastard did show up this morning.
DeleteHe certainly was there. Facts people.
DeleteDrumpft is going to release his medical records? How about his treatments? He can't function without his treatments. Heal with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.
Deletehttp://www.feelnumb.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/michael_jackson_sleeping_hyperbaric_oxygen_chamber.jpg
I want to see all the video of Trump before he was at the 9-11 event. We know he is going to have plenty of him being patriotic, with flags, a little reflecting and sad and as the yuugest donor to 9-11 charities and families. No one can be any more great and American.
DeleteHe will take out the bad guys his first day in office.
Trump was there with Rudy and the friend from the New Jersey bridge deal.
DeleteShe was wearing kind of heavy clothing for a hot, muggy day and this could have happened to anyone, but dump and his supporters will make hay of it. I passed out standing on a riser as a fourth grader from the heat at a pancake supper we had to sing at. It was very hot and humid. Anyone, at any age, is vulnerable to the heat and the anchors at MSNBC said it was a miserably hot and humid day in NY today.
ReplyDeleteMy immediate thoughts exactly. The weather along the Eastern seaboard has been extremely hot and humid for weeks now. She should have been wearing something light and flow-y.
DeleteWe had lunch in a restaurant today and the good GOP folks at the next table were going on about how ill Hillary Clinton is and how mentally unstable she is. Makes me sick to hear.
Beaglemom
We are at the tail end of yet another brutal heatwave here on the East Coast. I've been hibernating pretty much all summer behind thermal curtains waiting for September weather to finally get here.
DeleteShe needed to hydrate better. End of story. That being said, she should have been better prepared for the heat.
ReplyDeleteTWo things.
ReplyDeleteIt was 82 with high humidity at the time of the ceremony at Ground Zero. Winds started about 11 a.m. and humidity is now down. However, in Manhattan there is residual heat from the pavement and buildings. So the feels-like temp was probably around 90. She should have worn something lighter and had a handler with an umbrella. If the media is really careful, it will check ambulance and fire logs to see how many other people had to be tended to.
On Trump. Ever notice how his plane is parked very close to his speaking venues. He always walks from behind a wall or curtain to get to the stage. Some enterprising soul should evaluate his videos for how many steps he takes on average.
Also, did no one notice that in his Scotland news conference, he referred to the buildings as being in Forida?
She has a thyroid issue (as do millions of other women of all ages). She also has fairly low blood pressure. On a hot day, wearing a dark suit, and standing in one place for an hour and a half without water, this episode is not at all uncommon. I have hypothyroidism and fainted in the shower because I was dehydrated and I'm twenty years younger and hadn't been on the rediculous schedule she's had. She looked fine and smiling an hour later leaving Chelsea's apartment. THIS SHOULD NOT BE A BIG DEAL!! Weren't 18 year old models fainting at kanye's recent fashion show in New York? Jeez.
ReplyDeleteyes, Kanye models.
DeleteIt is not a big deal.
Only that is what Trumpsters will make of it. HUUUge in Trumpland!
Fox News will make a "yuuge" deal of it.
DeleteBeaglemom
I think she should use the episode to better promote worker's rights to be able to be ill temporarily and to not lose their job.
ReplyDeleteEven if a person is disabled to some extent, and if (with accomodations) they can still perform well at their job they have a right to keep that job. We all know about Roosevelt and Reagan and I'm sure there are countless others whose condition we do not know fully of, but they had (seemingly)the brain to do the job. Of course we don't know the nature or cause of Hillary's condition but she could make a cause of it. (though I know that it's not likely to matter in these extreme times.)
JFK was not the picture of health. He did look good.
DeleteYes indeed, JFK was in much worse health than anyone suspected and he looked great. Medications that folks would demonize today allowed him to function to the extant that he did. I consider him to be one of our greatest presidents ever. Glad I was alive to experience the love and true patriotism that he inspired.
DeleteI've fainted due to dehydration twice and I was a lot younger than Hillary. The first time, I was running a large special event in the heat of summer and too busy working to drink or eat. The second was at the end of a outdoor summer concert when I was standing still for an hour on risers in the sun. In both cases, I was fine after some rest and plenty of water.
ReplyDeleteStanding still in a concrete environment in the heat and humidity, especially while dressed in dark clothes, will dehydrate anyone, no less someone who's in the middle of a brutal national campaign.
She DOES, however, need to take control of the story and prove that she's fine.
He is a master.

"There's a sucker born every minute"
another view, I'm worried about her, and about this election now :(
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11-EAzsGxgQ&feature=share&app=desktop
Not her best angle.
Deletenot good.
Q: Is it possible that her overheating was in part due to wearing something akin to a bullet-proof vest? I'm not saying she did, I am just asking if that makes any sense or not.
ReplyDeleteI think it makes perfect sense. Those assholes will take trump on the ask for a 2nd amendment solution to the "problem" that is Hillary, and I'd bet my last dollar that the Secret Service has her vested up.
DeleteIt could be that she was also feeling very emotional.
ReplyDeleteFirst responders have shared how Clinton was upset and angry when she surveyed the damages right after 9/11 and how Bush and the government lied to people about the air being safe to breathe.
Perhaps it all came rushing back and rather than break down in public she rushed to leave.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/sep/09/hillary-clinton-9-11-attacks-response
Gee, i got like this in Boston once. I just needed water and to lay down for awhile. Yes, I was working to hard then. And she is way older than I.
ReplyDeleteOh FFS calm down, the sky is not falling. Extreme humidity, high temp, stifling, crowded environment. She went to Chelsea's apt, prob got a cool drink, some AC and emerged looking fine. I'm watching the Jets/Bengals game and they say it's 90 on the field and will be a test of the athletes' conditioning. Stop adding fuel to the fire, the right will screech about this for a day and then - look, squirrel!
ReplyDeleteI live on the east coast and the heat back here is nothing to sneeze at. And there are a variety of reasons one could have such a spell and very, very few of them would be reason enough to drop out of a race.
ReplyDeleteIt could have been covered quite nicely at the time if everyone carried hankies.
ReplyDeleteShe isn't feeling well, she wants to leave. She pulls out a hanky and brings it to her eyes and dabs. Then she tells her daughter or detail or whatever she isn't feeling well and wants to leave. As she leaves she clutches the hanky and periodically brings it to her eyes.
Would even explain the curb stumble. "She didn't see it."
That would have made this incident a strong positive rather than a negative that would need to be "fixed".
Just saying.
So she should have done a fake out? Sounds more like trump would do.
DeleteRe handkerchiefs: A comedian on Jerry Seinfeldt's show "comedians, Cars, Coffee" said you should always carry a hankie with a red dye pellet in it, so when you have a problem or almost any kind, you can grab the hankie, pop the dye pellet, put it up to your nose: Evenyone respocs a bloody nose. And gives you a pass.
DeleteI wouldn't go so far as the dye.
DeleteBut I saw a movie or something once that said all men should carry a clean hanky so they can lend it to a woman when needed. Gallantry scores points or something.
I think it's just polite and thoughtful.
Did Sarah Palin go to the ceremoney for 911 today.
ReplyDeleteI know it is a big deal for her and her oldest son.

While Ignoring Trump’s Hidden Health Records, Biased Press Jumps On Clinton Overheating
ReplyDeleteDonald Trump has refused to release any details about his medical history, but some in the mainstream press are legitimizing Clinton health conspiracies after Democratic nominee overheated on 9/11.
http://www.politicususa.com/2016/09/11/ignoring-trumps-hidden-health-records-biased-press-jumps-clinton-overheating.html
I don't get my news from fucking TWITTER.
ReplyDeleteLet's see how the major outlets report it.
As for whether it will hurt or not, here's what is gonna hurt:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/court-voter-id-block_us_57d460d9e4b03d2d459acac4?section=us_politics
"A U.S. Court of Appeals on Friday blocked an effort by Alabama, Georgia and Kansas for voters to furnish proof of citizenship when registering at the polls, which opponents say disenfranchises voters, especially minorities.
The decision effectively strikes down a rule that requires voters in the three states to provide proof they are United States citizens. Elsewhere, voters only need swear that they are citizens in order to cast a ballot."
"The Appeals Court of the District of Columbia said the League of Women Voters had shown there would be irreparable harm if the rule was permitted, and had also shown it was likely to win the case on its merits.
It ordered any voter applications filed since Jan. 29, 2016, to be treated as if they did not contain the proof of citizenship instructions.
Alabama and Georgia, which passed provisions several years ago, have not implemented their laws while at least 20,000 voters in Kansas, where the law took effect in 2013, have been blocked from registering to vote, the League’s lawyers say."
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/clinton-trump-battleground-polls_us_57d5536ce4b03d2d459ad24b?section=us_politics
"Four new state polls out Sunday morning from NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist show that although Donald Trump leads in typically red Arizona and Georgia, they are up for grabs. And in typically close Nevada and New Hampshire, Hillary Clinton leads, but only by a razor-thin margin.
All four state polls show the race within the margin of error."

I fainted once, at a graveside ceremony. It was hot -- mostly humid. It was about 50 yrs ago, and I managed to put in 50 more years without more fainting. Go Hillary.
ReplyDeleteIts so amazing how the same people who feel Hillary Clinton is the criminal mastermind of all time and space, are now all giggly pleased to say she's also "frail."
ReplyDelete(In Mister Rogers' voice) "Can you say oxymoron? I knew that you could."
It is a very odd basket of loons.
DeleteWhy did she wear a dark color in this heat.
ReplyDeleteIt could happen to anyone, regardless of health...but you are right, this will be blown waaaaay out of proportion and Drumpf will make it a fucking yuuuuuuge issue.
Could you imagine the furor if she wore anything other than black or navy to a memorial? Oy vey!
DeleteThe news just reported she was diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday. Not good.
ReplyDeleteAlso not good.
DeleteWho gets pneumonia in the summer, as active as she is, unless there is an underlying issue.
Im asking honestly. It's not like she is bedridden. She has been very active.
Most people recover from pneumonia. Take your faux concern elsewhere.
DeleteYou can get viral or bacterial pneumonia any time of the year. Anyone can get pneumonia. Pneumonia isn't always a sign of an underlying health problem. People over 60 are more susceptible to pneumonia, thus the pneumonia vaccines we're supposed to get at 60.
DeletePneumonia isn't seasonal 2:40. And anyone can get it, without "underlying conditions".
DeleteNice try.
The stupid coming from some people. When is pneumonia and flu active? hmmmm? When school starts. And how do you catch it? Being around sick people. duh. She was exposed to the virus and had lost her voice days ago. Any one with school age kids going to school will be spreading it. So stay home and be thoughtful while sick.
DeleteThe pneumonia was brought on by allergies, which we know about from that speech a bit ago when her voice was affected and she blamed Trump.
DeleteYou can get pneumonia any time of the year.
How are most upper respiratory infections spread? By picking up the bacteria or viruses on your hands and transferring them to your face.
DeleteWhat does a politician do allllll day on the campaign trail? Shake hands.
No matter how often she might be washing her hands or using sanitizer, she is undoubtedly touching her face dozens of times every day and transferring those germs. Combine that with the lack of sleep, seasonal allergies, stress, and a constantly changing and exhausting schedule, and she's bound to come down with something.
I think that this is actually a good thing. Pneumonia is a familiar disease, easily treated in most cases, and something that she will recover from in a short period of time. It's far less serious than the conditions that most of the armchair doctors have been diagnosing her with.
I've been hearing that Trump's signs of dementia are increasingly worrisome to the GOP -- the flashes of anger, the word salads, the lack of self-control. All class signs of neurological impairment. Time for Trump to release his full medical records, so he can get ahead of this.
DeleteWhat happened in isolation is not a big issue. The problem is that there has been an accumulation big incidents showing that she has some health issues. She's also not been out and about much the last month or so while Trump has very much been
ReplyDeleteIt is likely that revealing her health issues will be more damaging than not which is why this hasn't been done.
Big incidents? Like coughing? Drama queen
Delete1:53pm
DeleteBecky Simon, you just be crazy girl :-)
No need for her to be out more. Media gives her one or two lines of an episode and Drumpf gets non-stop, day and night coverage, same clips again and again.
DeleteMethinks it has been advantageous to let Drumpf cook his own goose with such ridiculous exposure.
If Drumpf had a bigger vocabulary and stopped repeating the same words and sentences over and over and over there would be time for real news.
Actual news reporters on our stations? Just rude, bombastic, interrupting, shouting, ignorant "guests" from the alt-right, spewing Drumpf's lies for him.
Lazy, limp reporters except for Maddow, O'Donnell and Joy, and Kornacki. Others take the liars to task sometimes so want to give credit for any of them doing their job.
I don't think she wears "body armor". Maybe Kevlar lining in her jacket. Kevlar itself is not very heavy. It was rumored the coats the Obamas wore at the first inauguration were lined with kevlar.
ReplyDeleteI think it was a bad idea not to tell she'd been diagnosed with pneumonia until she had a problem.
Why do you think she is wearing those long jackets instead of her famous pantsuits? To accommodate body armor.
DeleteI don't know how with daily open calls for her death you can possibly imagine that she is not protected.
You either hate her or you're a very stupid person.
Just heard that too : pneumonia. She needs to get her rest.
ReplyDeleteI read she has HYPERthyroidism...which can cause momentary flushing/fainting/weakness but not a big issue, versus HYPOthyroidism...
ReplyDeleteShe has hypothyroidism, low thyroid.
Deletei read hyperthyroidism...which can make u warmer than others, more prone to heat sensitivity....do u have a link, i think i read on twitter
DeletePneumonia or walking pneumonia is not good. Not sky is falling bad either. It is something that will be treated. You can't even get a diagnosis for any of Donald Trump's afflictions. He thinks the whole deal about his medical status is a joke.
ReplyDeleteI doubt he would think he has mental health issues and go for the treatment he needs. I doubt if any health problem he has can be treated.
80 degree temp with over 50% humidity dressed with long pants and long sleeves would get to anyone.
ReplyDeleteI am going to wait for her doctor's statement instead of reading or listening to every Tom, Dick and Harry's theories.
Part of her difficulty/awkwardness in the video was the way she was leaned against the post/barrier. Try this yourself: stand about a foot from a wall with your back to the wall and your feet about a foot apart. Lean back on the wall resting just your shoulders and upper back, not your butt. That's how she was leaning when the van rolls up. Hold your arms out like someone's holding your elbows, like people were doing to Hillary. Now try to stand straight away from the wall. It's awkward. It takes some core strength to do it without falling back. I'm not a Hillary fan, but I don't think this by itself is any worse than Poppy barfing in the Japanese prime minister's lap. I think she will have to explain more about her health though because the Repugs will be all over it that the flailing was a parkinsons freeze.
ReplyDeleteAnd the basket cases complain. Complain about being so ignorant. Placed in a basket of stupids
ReplyDeleteNot a doctor and can't diagnose Hillary Clinton, but that is exactly how my 74-yr-old mom stumbled after getting dehydrated after spending the day sightseeing in 80 degree weather.
ReplyDeleteI listened to interviews with ass basket cases. They said that they only go to the trump show to get on tv. His outrageous behavior is to really expose the silent ass basket cases. How great is that? All Identified.
ReplyDeleteDehydration, Heat, weeks of gruelling travel, changes in eating and sleeping habits, etc. etc. Give her a break, Fox had her coffin color picked out.
ReplyDeleteGHWBush threw up then fell on Japan's leader, George the second fell off a segway, "choked on a pretzel" after a night of drinking, Ford was always falling, and Nancy was always pulling the puppet strings when Saint Ronald Raygun was president.
I've seen it a lot with women in heels with bodyguards. When the bodyguards have to act they just pick a person up and run with them, often one heel comes off and naturally the guardee is unbalanced. I've never seen it happen with men in their wingtips, not ever. Not once. Not even close.
ReplyDeleteI got pneumonia in summer during a heat wave when I was thirteen. I don't know who said you're only supposed to get it in winter.
