Showing Original Post only (View all)Clinton aide says, ‘We could have done better,’ amid criticism over health disclosures [View all]
Ya' think?
Source: Washington Post, by Abby Phillip
A top aide to Hillary Clinton acknowledged that the campaign could have handled news of her pneumonia diagnosis better after being criticized for keeping the public and the media in the dark.
We could have done better yesterday, but it is a fact that the public knows more about HRC than any nominee in history, wrote Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri on Twitter in response to the criticism, using the initials of the Democratic presidential nominee.
President Obamas former campaign strategist David Axelrod took a swipe at the campaign earlier in the morning by suggesting that although Clintons pneumonia could be treated with antibiotics, an unhealthy penchant for privacy that repeatedly creates unnecessary problems could not.

But Palmieri noted, in response to Axelrods criticism, that Clinton has released more medical and financial information than Trump, who has refused to release his tax returns and released a letter from a doctor that was widely criticized for lacking any concrete medical information about his health.

OP
But this from an "opposition" whose illegal dealings are hiding in plain sight

A lot of what the opposition discusses are conspiracy theories about her health

While yet others are pretending this is something of actual substance and concern.

K&R When do we get to read about mandatory "financial disclosures" from Trump?

My guess is they contacted her personal physician who originally diagnosed the pneumonia

Because she knew she needed to just sit in a cool quiet place for a bit and then would be ok.

Yes they could have but meanwhile, Trump slides by on his hippie doctor's 1 page book report.
