On the plus side, this will up awareness of walking pneumonia....

Don't get me wrong, I'd rather Hillary was well, but people are talking about walking pneumonia and how easy it is to have it and not know you have it. I have a feeling a lot of people with a persistent cough will visiting their doctors this week. So, ironically enough, Hillary might well save a lot of lives/get a lot of sick people to start on the road to recovery. That's one good thing—and they might think "Thank you, Hillary for saving my life/my mother's life..."

And I actually think, ironically again, that this will work against the Repukes. They're patting themselves on the back thinking they can use this to prove she's in bad health. But people will say, "Oh, I had that," or "Oh, my mom had that..." They'll get mad if the Repukes attempt to play this as bad health rather than an illness ("mom was in great health, and she got sick...&quot . And they might admire Hillary knowing how tough she had to be to do all this while sick.

We'll have to wait and see if I'm right, but so far, with everyone talking about walking pneumonia, facts and information are getting out, undermining the lies. So. Possibly a good thing.

I agree I think since its Pnemijia they really can't say much I mean they can try But it will backfire I've already heard some anti Hillary people say they at least hope she's ok even tho they won't vote for her I think this could have been very different if she wasn't with this kind of condition but she will recover I can't really see a way the RW being very successful with this i think she will rest up and be off the campaign trail for a little bit Get well Hillary !

...around the campaign and no one had said anything, that the Clintons can't even come clean about flu. But I mean, come on! So, the Clintons are suppose to tell the news every time Hillary has the sniffles? Otherwise it's evidence that they're into cover ups and never transparent about anything?

Just saying, that's one way they're trying to make this look bad. But I don't think it'll fly.
