Fuck. There is video.

[piechartking]

I don't care how our side tries to spin it, this is a gift to the GOP.

I know it's just a fainting episode, and people faint, but it plays right into their health BS. Need to change the subject, fast.

And hope that Trump camp overreacts in a way to create sympathy.

1. Oh, God, that doesn't look good.

Hillary is wearing clothing that is much too heavy to be outdoors for such a long time.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Bush I puked and fainted at a state dinner.

FDR got polio and had to use a wheelchair. Kennedy had Addison's disease. Ford fell down so often it became a SNL joke. All of these facts will be duly noted and the incident will fade away. Relax.

[Joe the Revelator]

17. Bush 1 also lost that year's election.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

33. But not because of that.

[Joe the Revelator]

37. It certainly didn't help.

[Demsrule86]

131. And here you are again on another concern thread. nt

[citood]

58. I remember Bush puking was a really big deal

It started a whispering campaign that he really wasn't trying to get re-elected, because he was tired, etc.

[Maru Kitteh]

139. No it didn't.

I heard nothing of the sort. Find an example, otherwise, just no.

[stevenleser]

165. Other than fodder for the Simpsons and SNL, it really did have little impact.

Those other posters are selling BS.

[molova]

3. What if her numbers go up instead?

?

[piechartking]

7. I hope the Trump camps overreacts

And it backfires. Let's hope.

However, I think she kind of blew it by walking out of Chelsea's apartment and not answering any questions. She needs to be more accessible - if nothing happened, then why not take a few questions?

And this is why it's important for her to be even more open, now

1) Trump/Drudge/Breitbart have been laying the groundwork for this for weeks. Imagine if none of the conspiracies theories were out there. This would be nothing. Instead, this is all you're going to see for 3 days if not longer.

2) Not answering questions about it plays into the whole "She's untrustworthy and has something to hide" angle.

[Maven]

4. Are we sure it's real?

Have to ask. I don't put anything past those fuckers.

[piechartking]

8. I hope not. Maybe not. That would be awesome

If it was Trump's lackeys or something.

55. Looks real and it's got me questioning her health

I'd take an ill Hillary over Trump but I think she might be actually sick.

posts of Ding Dong the Witch is Dead and Weekend at Bernie references

Right Wingers will over play this and pay a hidden price in Nov

People don't like this kind of vicious personal attack. She needs to get the debates behind her to put this health bullshit to rest

[Imperialism Inc.]

160. That's just a zoomed in version of the video not another one.

[citood]

161. Its a slightly different angle

There are now 3 versions making the rounds of the net. Moot anyway - nobody in the campaign is claiming the video is fake.

[bagelsforbreakfast]

5. not good...

She appears to fall. Should have had an entourage encircling her and someone on each side. But if you've seen Trump without his business suit, he seems in worse shape. Could have a Rick Perry moment or two in the debates...

57. It was 80% at 10am in Orlando. Have you ever been to FL?

[BumRushDaShow]

64. Yes I have

And I have also been in Cairo, Egypt where the temp was in the mid-90s with 80% humidity thanks to the damn Nile Delta AND in Abu Simbel, Egypt where the temp was 120F (thankfully only 10% humidity). I have been in Galveston, TX where the week I was there, it was mid-90s with 70% humidity every day.

I know what the hell hot and humid is. I live in Philly where it is just as hot and humid here (with 7x the population of little Orlando) .

[NutmegYankee]

29. BULLSHIT

This morning when the ceremony was taking place, the dew point logged by the National Weather Service in Central Park was 72. That is considered "Very humid, quite uncomfortable". As anyone knows, the temperature is even higher in the buildings and concrete versus a thermometer in a vented white box surrounded by grass.

After the ceremony a front swept through, bringing in cooler drier air.

[Demsrule86]

132. People showed you the data that indicated a cold spell came in after Sec. Clinton

had her heat issue on the other thread...still peddling this?

[LeftRant]

145. If that's it, it's probably not.

But pols have a tendency to cover things up if they even appear bad, so they don't get any traction.

And how can we know, unless we get more information from a doctor? This thing is going to get endless airplay and may lead to debate questions. I bet it even gets into an ad. And Fox News... jesus christ...

[NewHampshiriteGuy]

9. And if it was serious...

They would have taken her to the hospital!!!

I passed out at work once from low blood sugar and getting overheated because I didn't eat enough...it was 74 degrees in my office.

I'm not on my death bed!

She's running for president, not in contention for the Olympic f-ing decathlon!

[duncang]

10. She is wearing body armor

And what 88 f there? Even wearing the light grade kevlar stuff I had. You get hot real fast. We would use cool packs to help our body temp.

[KewlKat]

27. I never thought about that before....does she wear protection, do we really know?

[Freddie]

46. I've heard this too

The reason she wears boxy jackets is due to a bulletproof vest. Can't exactly be cool and comfortable.

[KewlKat]

62. well then that certainly would make matters worse where heat is concerned.

I guess I just never gave it much thought.

[duncang]

96. I have noticed even in some of the smaller controlled settings

You could see some outlining from the body armor. Since she is out in a very uncontrolled area I bet she had even a higher level of body armor on. I used to have to wear a kevlar flash suite. I had a 43 cal suite and a 100 cal suite. The 43 wasn't too bad. But the 100 was a killer. You couldn't keep the 100 on very long unless it was under 50 f. Kevlar doesn't breathe. Just wearing the jacket could keep me nice and toasty warm down in to the 40's leaving it partially open. The hour and half she was walking around would be tough for anybody.

[renate]

81. do you think you should start a thread of its own about this?

This seems like a very good and important point, and I haven't seen it anywhere else.

This is not good and there is no way to spin it. We need to change the story quick.
I am now afraid not just set for my country but for the planet, too many people feel that Trump can not win so they are not going to vote. The Media sees the next two months as a chance to cash in not to help elect the next president, if today's media was around at the time of FDR we would not of had him as President and therefore no Social Security.

This is a very big problem!

And too many other Americans will stay home not believing he could get elected. Like it or not the Media see the Clitons as a chance to make themselves a buck. Trump is so flawed but he is being given as free pass the press wants a horse race.

This is the worst new we could get today. Please do not fool your self this is a real "hiar on fire moment". Can we recover yes but we need to understand how bad this looks and it will hurt. I pray that Hillary is ok but she now needs a full court press to change the story fast! What ever dirt we have been holding about Trump need to come out now!

[maryellen99]

And that could have contributed to her overheating.

19. This too shall pass

It will be a front-burner story for a couple of days, Trump and his thugs will hammer away to the point of over-kill, and it will fade away.
The handful of people who are truly undecided will not base their vote on this.

[ram2008]

31. It looks bad, but can create sympathy

It is a stark reminder that people we view as powerful are humans just like us as well.

To see Hillary in a vulnerable state like that may remind people that she's just like us-- it is humanizing, albeit, I am a bit worried about her health now.

[B2G]

34. Even if it was the heat

she needs to get checked out and release a medical evaluation report today. It's undeniable it could be a number of things, and none of us are doctors. Neither is she or her security detail.

It could be something else.

[piechartking]

40. Agreed. Any one of us would get checked out, esp

If we're nearing 70, or 69 whatever age she is.

And whatever those results are need to be shared with the country. That has to happen to put the people at ease, and also to dispel some of this crap about her being "untrustworthy" and hiding stuff.

Now how about dropping the GOP talking point...she is too ill to be president posts? She is the nominee and such posts only harm our nominee.

[awake]

171. When I posted the news that Hillary was sick was not out

Knowing what the GOP is going to throw at us is not pushing their talking points and I have never said that "she is too ill to be president". My concern is first for Hillary's health and then that her staff is not fucking up by not making sure she is taken care of. I think this is an opening to help her get beyond the "something to hide" bull shit, I just hope that her advisers do not stone wall the press

186. The press is very much like Trump they want to be noticed

Hillary has a choice she is "nice to them&quot i.e. grants access) or not, if not they will make a issue bigger than it is. Notice how much better her coverage got once they were on her plane. Most of the press is lazy when she takes a bit of time to talk to them she can set the agenda when she is silent the press will set the agenda.

QUOTE FROM CNN

"At about 11:40 a.m., Mrs. Clinton, wearing sunglasses, emerged from the apartment in New York’s Flatiron district. She waved to onlookers and posed for pictures with a little girl on the sidewalk.

“I’m feeling great,” Mrs. Clinton said. “It’s a beautiful day in New York.”

[awake]

89. I am happy that she is out and about but watch the video she did faint

It has been reported that as she fell into the van she lost a shoe latter recovered. This could become a problem, I hope she talks to firefighters or the police about the hard work they did and that way get the story back to the heroes of 9/11 and off of her health

How about you link to the video you saw? Nothing we can do about what right wing nuts do.

[awake]

142. I watch the video linked by the Op which did you view?

[Divine Discontent]

158. she most certainly started to stumble badly trying to get into the SUV, however,

as we saw, she left Chelsea's under her own power, looked firm and in control and even allowed a girl to come take a photo. Nonetheless. I think she wanted to get out of there asap. We can't deny what that 5 seconds of video will do for their campaign to paint that she's oh so sick. F*CK I'd vote for her in an Iron Lung over Drumf! However, she's not that bad, and most likely was just heat exhausted wearing that bulky clothing, not drinking coconut water, or wearing a hat in that city heat and humidity. The sharp reactions some give you and anyone who rationalizes what they saw is standard for boards. Just shake it off politely. Point being, this was a scary moment as she stepped, after head wobbling a couple times, into the the SUV, and thank God she came out of the apartment just a couple hours (right?) later just fine, and looked fine, and sounded fine! I would release a medical report tomorrow, and hopefully they will.

[golfguru]

She did not even have a coughing fit today.

70. The people bashing the OP should back up for a second.

Sit back and realize that the OP is not expressing concern that Hillary is dying, he is expressing concern about the way the media will seize on this video and run with it.

Matt Lauer's BS "forum" is all the proof we need that the media is not on the side of reality.

If we are complacent, then their attacks will take us by surprise. I see no harm in expressing concern over this video. You KNOW it is going to be distorted like a National Enquirer headline.

[piechartking]

To act like this will be nothing is to assume that the nurturing universe we occupy here in Democratic Underground represents the voting population at large.

[Eleanors38]

152. MSM may see this as a reason not to cover the Bondi thing. They are afraid of the FR.

[TheDormouse]

71. A higher dose of antihistamines for allergies

plus maybe having low blood sugar from not eating enough this morning/not having gotten enough sleep last night/being a bit dehydrated are all perfectly reasonable explanations for a basically healthy person experiencing a morning fainting episode, as appears to be on the video.

The difficulty in this particular case is that Hillary has that history of serious blood clots, is on Coumadin (blood thinner), and also has that history of a serious faint in the past. So it might not be that she just had a simple faint for the common reasons basically healthy people faint.

Until she's had a chance to be examined by a competent medical professional, she isn't really in a position to know what the cause(s) of the episode were and what they imply.

On the other hand, if she and the campaign just try to act as if nothing happened, they will just be making things easier for Trump.

With only single digits separating them in swing state polls, she can't really afford to do anything that plays to an advantage for Trump.

[Rex]

72. The only folks pretending she is dying, are the desperate CONs-GOP they have ZERO policy issues

SO they go for something easy, people faint. It happens. Fuck the GOP we will not play into their pathetic hands.

Until then, no. The video lol...so what. She fainted. Next.

[awake]

99. What we do not know can hurt us

I suggest you watch the video because it is what will be used against Hillary, it does not look good a bit scary if I do say so. The problem is her staff should have been more on top making sure she had water and that she was taken care of.

[piechartking]

117. I don't think so either but she needs to get in front of cameras

Hiding at home just contributes to the narrative that she's "untrustworthy" and "hiding something".

If there's nothing there, then get out there and talk to folks. Maybe she feels like 9/11 shouldn't be about politics, ok I get that.

Tomorrow do something. Sign up for a 5K, do some jumping jacks, just do something!

118. I am hoping she meets with first responders to thank them

She would get press coverage and could speak to the importance of this day.

[LAS14]

119. I can't see anything. Can anyone else?

The second video, posted in this thread, is much more revealing. In the first one, I thought she was getting out of the car.

121. You are kidding right?

The other "health issue" videos the GOP has pushed are clearly bull shit but this event will not look good, Hillary is clearly not doing well in thee video clips. If you are not able to see that maybe you want to look again, we need to be ready for more "Health" talk this week.

[Kansaskid]

120. Looked flushed last week

When she met with the press last week following her national security round table, I noticed that she looked very flushed. When the camera shot was from the side, she looked worse. They moved to a frontal shot, and she looked better. I thought that it might be the camera angle. I noticed this because of the attention being paid to her health. I support her and am concerned about the impact of this on the election.

147. +1 nt

[world wide wally]

125. Hillary fainted!

Now I have no choice but to vote for the loudmouth, obnoxious, racist cocksplat with half a brain cell.

Damn.


Sarcasm (for the synapsicaly impaired)

[TheDormouse]

126. Two more videos

&t=33s

[NWCorona]

127. Here's a video from a different angle. I glad she looked much better after she got to her daughters

[TheDormouse]

135. it's the same as the original, just flipped 180 degrees (mirror image)

[NWCorona]

149. Yeah I see that now

[Demsrule86]

128. It is a big nothing.

Those who plan to vote for Hillary will be unaffected...and those who would care were never voting for her anyway... a hot humid day...big deal. After a bit of Gatorade she was fine.

[DawgHouse]

129. Who gives a shit? You think that Trump supporters are ever going to vote for Clinton, anyway?

Clinton supporters are intelligent enough to know this is a minor episode. Good grief.

[smorkingapple]

138. This is a disaster. "Hillary Clinton's stumble highlights her campaign's transparency problems"

This is why this shit matters. Look at all the threads being pulled now!!!

144. Lol

concern noted.

[LeftRant]

182. Lol

concern over concern noted.

Now what did that accomplish?

[DonCoquixote]

140. and here we show the weak side of democracy

That a mushy middle with no spine often become the deciding vote, and they are swayed by this.

[LeftRant]

143. It probably won't matter if there isn't a further incident.

But this is why the conspiracy theories are so damaging. If something you've been ranting about seems to get a shred of credibility, you suddenly seem like you were right all along.

And changing the subject isn't the answer. We're going to need more information from a doctor. There's no way she didn't see one, apartment or not.

And they must have tied Trump to a chair to keep him from tweeting about this so far :p

[BainsBane]

148. So what?

She felt unwell. She has been working extremely hard. She's a human being, not a robot.

[erpowers]

150. Bad, But

This is bad for Hillary Clinton, but I blame her campaign team. Clinton looked to be in bad shape. None of them thought to either find a quiet place at the 9/11 memorial and let her sit down while someone else went to get her some Gatorade, or some other energy drink. Also, nobody thought to try to find a place where there were no cameras, or video cameras to bring the van to pick her up. What were they thinking.

[radius777]

183. Bingo

All of this could've been avoided if her campaign team managed this properly.

Her campaign team is terrible, imo, strategy wise also, too wimpy and laid-back, which is historically how Dems lose, by allowing the right and the media to control the narrative.

Bill Clinton and Obama won because they had a campaign team that was smart, but also tough and relentless.

Hillary's team (Mook, Podesta, Palmieri, Fallon) are overly polished and laid back, and imo, clueless in thinking that a conventional 'contrast of ideas' will work against the fascist clown and his army of deplorables, who know how to control the media.

[erpowers]

189. I Agree

They could really be hitting Donald Trump hard.

[nruthie]

153. Yes, the video is an answer to their prayers.

It looks terrible, frankly. This is a fact.

[BlueMTexpat]

159. Buh-bye! eom

[BlueStateLib]

164. The video not that bad

Its not like she barfed into someone lap and ended up unconscious on the floor or fell of the stage

[Demsrule86]

168. Well now we know she had Pneumonia....amazing

she was able to keep such a tough schedule with such a debilitating illness...she must be made of iron.

[okasha]

175. Oh, FFS.

Watch the damn video. If Hillary "fainted," so did the Secret Service guys helping her into the van. They were going down steps; the one on her right obviously came up the steps to help her.

Get a grip.

[still_one]

176. There is no need to spin, she has walking pneumonia. She will be treated with antibiotics and

rest, and back on the campaign trail in no time, and be the next President

[betsuni]

181. I saw a discussion about the video on a nutty conspiracy theory site and they

were obsessing about "a mysterious piece of metal" that supposedly flew out of Clinton's pants when she was getting into the van. Naturally, this confirms she's a jellyfish because of all her serious illnesses and must wear a full-body brace. This from people who worship FDR. I was trying to understand the point of the big conspiracy, and it turns out they think Clinton is covering up being on death's door because she wants to be in the history books, wants to "die in office and be immortalized like JFK." Oh, come on, that's it? Needs work.

[Puzzledtraveller]

187. The denial is strong in this thread

Perception is everything in politics.
