This might be a positive thing?

[zenabby]

Just wondering. This might "humanize" her - someone who works so hard and got sick. A standard garden variety pneumonia - is there anyone who has at some point either directly or thru a family member not had pneumonia in the family? DJT better tread carefully because he can very easily come off as a very small man. I feel that the coverage has moved to more normal - CNN wishing Hillary a quick recovery and having a doctor say "she just needs to take some antibiotics and she is good to go".

1. It's nothing either way.

[anamnua]

3. I agree with the OP

She gritted her teeth and attended the 9/11 ceremony. It counters the narrative that she puts herself first and the US second.

4. I've been feeling nothing but empathy

and caring ever since I heard about the heat exhaustion. I honestly don't understand how anyone could see this as a reason not to vote for her.

[zenabby]

7. That's the word!

I think everyone can empathize with her. I can't imagine anyone thinking having pneumonia should give them pause in voting for her.

[underpants]

5. I don't think so

That video is going to be very hurtful

6. Josh Barro tweeted the same though

It shows her doing her best to grit her teeth and work hard even with pneumonia. And it's humanizing, relatable.

Also, Clinton has often been perceived best when she's fighting adversity, as after Iowa in 2008.

8. Well, if nothing else, it will shut Con Man up about her cough indicating some secret hidden,

serious disease! FWIW, I had the same kind of pneumonia a few years ago and recovered very quickly. (about 3 days) I was 66 at the time so if that's any indication, Hill will probably be back on the trail Mon or Tue

[zenabby]

10. ah, there's definite proof I was looking for.

You "just having a feeling"!

[anamnua]

11. Highly unlikely if is she is a non-smoker.

Which she is. I am a doc, by the way.

[uppityperson]

12. You are correct in that we don't want to hear that. What else do you think is going on?

[OilemFirchen]

13. WtDU.

EYS.

[hatrack]

21. OMG!!! Here's teh prooves!

[vadermike]

14. Agreed

Agreed At the end of the day no difference I mean FFs get well soon Hillary! Even in CNN they wished her well I mean I'm a worrier by nature and don't see this hand wringing I double dare trump campaign or RW to attack her over this she's a human being

[pnwmom]

15. I agree. Since many millions of us have had pneumonia, he could alienate millions

by pretending that would be disqualifying.

I have had the flu and I've had walking pneumonia, and I'd much rather have the latter.

[vadermike]

16. Ya

There are millions that have had or have Pnemijia and deal with it some may not even know they have it till they go tithe Doctor it is s common thing If double dog dare the RW and trumpites to go after her on this

[OhZone]

17. Yes, it could be a postive and for the very first time, I noticed that the "both sides do it" -

worked in her favor, as the news was also saying she gave us more medical information than Trump, and that Trump needs to give us more. ha

[zenabby]

18. In fact they said...

This is why we need good medical records for both candidates and pointed out all the ridiculousness of Trump's medical records.

[Satch59]

19. What will be the campaign's response as to why it wasn't reported on Friday?

She didn't want attention on her during 9/11 memorial?
She didn't think it was a big deal?
Trying to avoid more scrutiny?

I hate that some Hillary supporters I know are saying this plays into her trustworthy issue?

She is so under the freaking microscope...I feel badly that she can't try to fight through an illness and just wish her a speedy recovery...

Does she need to address this?

[vadermike]

20. Well

No she doesn't need to address this as the media is also scrutinizing trump as he needs to release his records too I don't think trump will ever release anything Or his tax returns The dare the assholes to smear her while being sick They are lowlifes

[Satch59]

22. Thanks...

I don't think she needs to address it either...and there really is a double standard for her... And you're right about Trump...he's not addressing a multitude of issues...taxes...birther...Bondi...and on and on...
