In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton not feeling well, leaves 9/11 event early [View all]Grammy23
(5,810 posts)That happen to all of us from time to time get blown out of proportion when it comes to Hillary Clinton. Her "coughing spell" is a prime example. Everyone of us has had an episode of dry throat, swallowing wrong or allergic response to dust, dander or pollen. No mystery. No emergency. Just a normal bodily reaction, but Trump and his spokesmen talked it up endlessly like she is an end stage lung cancer patient.
Getting overheated in a high humidity setting is another common thing. It happens to me regularly, living along the Gulf Coast where our heat index often goes to triple digits. I sweat profusely and feel slightly nauseated. As soon as I get to an air conditioned environment, I recover rapidly.
This is getting to be old and a really dumb story every time she hiccoughs. Anyone with eyes can see her in a public setting and she is fine. Any journalist who allows them to follow this story line without pushing back is not doing their job. To allow them to prattle on is journalistic malpractice.
