Can we all just calm down a bit over Hillary's overheating/fainting episode?

[TDale313]

This means those freaking out. It means those attacking those freaking out.

I wish her well, hope she's feeling better, think she should get checked out (and probably hold a press conference and maybe even invite her doctor) It wasn't a great moment, I can see why people are concerned about the optics and how the RW might use this. That doesn't make them concern trolls, but let's be honest about the fact the medical talk has been (not so) coded sexism.

In the long run, this is not gonna swing many, if any, votes. Take a deep breath, turn off the news for a few hours/days if you need to. This is not gonna be a game changer.

1. Agree

[MoonRiver]

2. Yep, time to take a walk, in the heat, lol, and chill out!

3. But now anything even remotely "unhealthy" will be a big issue

She coughs too long - top news

She has any other moments that show some fragility - top news

Another stumble or fainting episode - catastrophe

Before this was considered a conspiracy theory by the RW. It now has legs.

It's a big deal.

9. That's silly.

This will not change one vote--except for those who were on the fence (especially women) who may decide to vote FOR her when they see all the "concern" about a woman's health.

4. Ok

The RW can harp on this if they want and yes if something else happened wouldn't be good but what else can we do at this point it happened it's over and the campaign will respond if needed

[BlueInPhilly]

5. No it is not

It isn't a big deal. HRC will release her latest medical records and Trump will be forced to do the same.

Meantime, her name is on the news cycle, which will paint the media in an even worse light because 9/11 and respect and solemnity.

Calm down please.

6. FOX

FOX will go crazy, but don't expect this to be a story for more than a couple days. Really is no big deal.

[Persondem]

7. Exactly this. Really people ... chill out. K & R nt

.

[sarae]

8. Agreed.

The reporting on this is completely absurd.

[djnicadress]

10. HRC needs keep it together another incident like this we will get Adolf trump as president!

hope she doesn't blow it

[LeftRant]

11. It doesn't matter if we're calm.

Do you think the media will be calm as they play this endlessly on a loop? Some people will start to believe what was already out there as a conspiracy. And it matters.

[DemonGoddess]

12. There's honestly nothing to freak out over

as has been pointed out in other places here, she doesn't sweat. That means she has to be careful at times, or overheating will happen.
