Prediction: The Health Scare will benefit Hillary in the polls.

[yellowcanine]

First of all, Trump and Trumpsters are overplaying it. There will be a backlash against that.

Second: She did what a President would do. Even though she felt like crap, she toughed it out and attended the ceremony. She did not do a calculation of the optics of what would happen if she got ill and had to leave, even though she likely knew that this was a possibility. Voters will give her credit for this.

Finally, the surrogates will fight fiercely for her while she is recuperating. It will energize her supporters and bring some of the wavering voters in.

1. Eh, not sure to say the least.

We really won't know until after next weekend.

10. The people who are voting for her will still voter for

when all is said and done...Trump will lose...and I am sick of the media acting like sexist asses.

2. I think so too.

Deplorable Don is already insulting her for having this illness, and saying 'I told you so.' Everybody has gotten sick, and people will have sympathy for somebody who is being bashed while she's temporarily down.

3. Could be

Pros do t mind going at each other normally. But I think most draw the line when going after it perceiving to go after someone when they are down or sick

4. I think this passes without any real plus or minus to her

I think this passes but the most important thing is that she is 100% for the debates. If she goes up there and looks sick or fatigued and she is going up against a Trump who looks feisty and full of energy the contrast is going to be really bad. It will be like sweaty Nixon in the 1960 debate.

6. Good thing

Hillary can't sweat.

5. Maybe it helps

Since they won't be talking about deplorables comment. I think we might see a small rise in her polling this week and then see it go back to last week levels after all of this. Maybe a little worse. People will forget after debates.

7. I doubt it.

[AgadorSparticus]

8. I think so too...if it even lasts that long. Them focusing on this just screams desperation.

[Puzzledtraveller]

9. The optics are damaging.

We need to seriously consider worst case scenario and hope for the best but I do not believe this helps her in anyway.
