Newsflash:Pneumonia isn't Cancer

[bmstee01]

Why should she have disclosed that seeing as she wasn't planning on changing her schedule?

1. Transparency

Not lack of transparency. It's irrelevant

[liberal N proud]

2. Earn trust from voters and shut up those who are constantly deriding her health

She will take a few days off and come back out strong as ever.

The media freak out over pneumonia is the media doing what is does, sensationalizing everything. Pneumonia has been what has taken the lives of many who already were sick with a much more serous illness and that give the media the opportunity to run with the sensational story.

3. Must be a woman thing then

you know she can't be trusted

for the humor impaired

4. Well, forewarning would have prepared 'us' better than the image of her foot being dragged

as she was put into the van.

As it is, -if- she and her staff knew she had pneumonia because it was diagnosed days ago, it now is available to be filed as another example of her trying to keep something from the public.

Is that gonna be a problem? Probably not at all with her supporters. But yes, it likely will be with some fraction of those who are on the fence. It certainly will be pushed by people who are looking for ways to criticize her.

Of course, hindsight, is always an opportunity to consider the woulda-shoulda-coulda...

5. You seem to post a lot of 1 or 2 lined OPs (ocassionally 3).

Welcome to DU!

7. Sorry

I'm sorry for any offense taken.
In my attempt to dramatize how ridiculous I think it is for people to again harp on Hillary for not revealing her diagnosis.
I don't think she thought it was a big deal. I've heard it's pretty common for candidates to get sick.
However, I am sorry for your loss.
