Woman tax, I don't think they'd be treating any other woman any less disperately than they're treating Clinton now... I firmly believe that.

it would have been politically expedient to state she had pneumonia right after being diagnosed, on Friday. Now Deplorable Don has more ammo.

She was sick on Friday. Some in the press noticed it and pointed it out... and Clinton's people denied it and said that the reporter should lose his job over the accusation.

If they had admitted it when she was diagnosed then she could have rescheduled the press conference and skipped events that were risky.

She could have... oh, I don't know... listened to the medical professionals and rested.

Yes, that very likely would have helped her "get better faster" and would have made it several times more likely that they would be believed the next time they made claims about her health (which they almost certainly will have to do for the next two months).

If so, there's a different type of doctor that you should consult.

"Helping her" means taking some days off. She couldn't do that without giving up on the fiction that nothing was wrong.

It was the wrong decisions. She was getting bad advice (and not from her doctors)

I personally don't want to know every time a poll is sick and not ambulatory or disabled....

There's nothing wrong with that. But it does not entail your politicians pretending to not be sick when they actually are - just so you don't have to know.

She looked awful on Friday (and obviously beyond awful on Sunday). On Friday the two options were that she was temporarily ill or that there was something more serious going on. Her staff decided for option #3 - pretending that we were nuts if we thought that she looked sick.

Playing "Emperor's new clothes" with the voting public is virtually always a bad idea.

... ambulatory would've helped her get better faster.

I've never ever hear any advise like that for getting over something sooner... which is what the M$M should care about vs WHEN they knew about her being sick.

Doesn't help her campaign either

I've not read any reports that any doctor said that HRC should incapacitated and bed ridden...

I could be wrong but there's nothing pointing out that she was not following doctors orders..

The is the future POTUS we're talking about here.

The video was alarming. If that same video had been of Obama, you can damn well be sure it would be international news and lots of questions would be being asked.

I don't know what's so hard to understand about this.

... they're

1. Entitled to know IMMEDIATELY when the candidate is under the weather and not ambulatory
2. That it would've helped her health or campaign at all if they knew immediately...

Again, hyenas care if there's a carcous to pick when its sick and that's all the M$M is looking for not that she get better...

Been watching the big 3 for a second and there's WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY less well wishing and a lot more USELESS criticism

And yes, she obviously should have been in bed. If that wasn't the doctor's order, she needs to find a new doctor.

Using multiple exclamation points does not make your point a valid one.

Walking pneumonia typically effects young children and those under 40.

If her staff has been sick as well, it's likely viral.

But it's hard to say for sure since all we're not getting very many details.
