But is it Lupus?

 

[entremet]

I've had pneumonia. I'd rather have the flu 5 times then get it again.

Same. It is horrible.

 

[enzo_gt]

They should have released this info after the coughing fit became national news instead of parading her around as if everything was fine and having her possibly hurt herself fainting on the sidewalk today

I think it's better this way, that way it at least looks like something recent as opposed to an existing illness of hers.

But yeah, pretending a candidate is in perfect health is just the name of the game and if this has been an ongoing thing, it's of no real advantage to cop to it.

 

[Deleted member 80556]

Jesus, and she was out while being that sick and at her age? Incredible resilience this woman has.

It's a shame Trump will spin this to his benefit and people will fall for it.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Trump going after this would make him look like a monster...

Do you think that he cares?

We're talking about the guy who mocked a disabled reporter multiple times among all of the other things that he's said and done.

 

[Real Hero]

What's with all the reductio ad absurdum posts? People so afraid to have a negative talking point on Clinton they think they can block it out by wishing really hard?

Dear leader is perfect

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

We are now DedCon 1.5: 90% dead.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

This is the perfect opportunity to replace her with a reptilian.

 

[Aaronology]

That's a fucked up gif

Yeah?

 

[The Lamonster]

Is "optics" the new "don't have to explain shit" meme? People keep tossing out the word whenever anyone else points out their arguments make no sense.

Optics refers to how the electorate will interpret something. I am saying this Doctor's statement explains the coughing but doesn't do a good enough job to explain today's incident. It's good enough for me personally, but that doesn't matter and it's not the point.

 

[Chinner]

How can you vote for someone who can get sick???

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

No, but my statement comes from a political point of view. Talking about optics here.

What else do you want her campaign to say? Of course it would be better if she wasn't sick and didn't faint. But she is and she did. So what do you want them to say now to improve the situation?

 

[iMax]

meanwhile

 

[MechaX]

Shit, when I had pneumonia last year and still attempted to work, it was like being on death's door. I can't even imagine someone going out campaigning in the middle of it.

I wish her a speedy recovery, because no one deserves that.

 

[Ashby]

Given the rumours over her health over the last month or so I'm convinced it's a lot worse then pneumonia.

Yeah, what if she's pregnant?

 

[ishibear]

This is the perfect opportunity to replace her with a reptilian.

This combined with your avatar is hilarious.

 

[rjinaz]

Yup. I'm writing in Kim Jong-un myself.

 

[Kenai]

Pneumonia is the worst. Felt like I was going to die before 12 hours of antibiotics. Her walking around like that is hardcore.

 

[Betty]

So about those debates...

Shouldn't she cancel them? I mean this condition affects the lungs and can cause shortness of breath and coughing, not really ideal things for doing a several hour long debate.

Of course she can't cancel them or Trump and his supporters will call it a win for their side but still.

 

[A-V-B]

Yeah?

...I mean, it looks like a scrambled TV. Did I miss a meme?

 

[NYCmetsfan]

she looks deathly

The debates are a few weeks away. She'll be fine by then.

 

[Aaronology]

It's a shame Trump will spin this to his benefit and people will fall for it.

To be fair I also think it's a little reckless. A lot is riding on her health and she should take the utmost care to keep it 100. Pneumonia at that age and during such an intense campaign circuit is a recipe for bad shit.

They are still like 2 weeks away. Plenty of time to recover or wait to reconsider at the very least.

I know what optics means. I'm pointing out how people rely on the electorate being idiots that we can therefore predict whatever nonsense theories we have and then simply point to "optics" to "prove" the point. It's not particularly convincing logic.

 

[Nowise10]

So that coughing fit that people blew off and laughed at people thinking it meant something, did mean something?

Its in two weeks.

 

[Brakke]

I'm on mobile sorry

No need to apologize for being on mobile. Instead apologize for all the nonsense you're spitting about this not being a sufficient explanation for exhaustion today.

 

[SliceSabre]

Hope she gets the rest she needs despite it all. I've had pneumonia and it knocked me on my ass for two weeks straight. That shit ain't something you can just try to power through.

 

[Escape Goat]

All Hail President Trump!

 

[Betty]

Oh good, I wasn't sure how long Pnemonia lasted.

 

[2MF]

Could be just the allergies.

She should but when there is a heavy narrative by the right that she is dying, she probably felt like she had no choice on September 11th of all days. Unfortunately, it backfired because she was sicker than she realized apparently.

 

[Slayven]

she looks deathly

She is absorbing the lifeforce from the little girl.

 

[JABEE]

This.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Pneumonia? Yeah she should stop campaigning, take care of it, send out other Dems, then get back when she's ready.

Like any human, continuing to expend energy working while having this isn't a good thing at all.

And turn it into something political like talking about paid time off or some shit.

 

[Aaronology]

she looks deathly

Ugh. That purse/suit combo is hiiiiideous! No ma'am, abuela, no ma'am. I do not live.

 

[D4Danger]

So that coughing fit that people blew off and laughed at people thinking it meant something, did mean something?

yes, an infection in her lungs aka pneumonia.

her people should've taken it more seriously.

 

[teruterubozu]

Yeah pneumonia can be fatal for the elderly. Not that she doesn't have the best doctors or anything, but it's not to be trifled with at her age.

 

[rjinaz]

Oh good, I wasn't sure how long Pnemonia lasted.

It varies. I had it, lasted about 2 weeks. I mean it could last longer of course but it could be long gone by then as well.

 

[Rebel Leader]

I believe it.

I had pneumonia once. I hated it.

 

[Parakeetman]

We shouldn't really joke about these things. She isn't in her 20s. People her age do actually die from this.

Agreed father almost did. Shit is bad bad bad...

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Pneumonia alone is more qualified to be president than Trump.

 

[Protein]

US presidents aren't supposed to get sick. They're supposed to be godlike entities.

 

[Gallbaro]

she looks deathly

She looks like my grandmother.

The same person who tells the same stories over and over and over again...

 

[BorkBork]

Pneuomia is pretty serious, especially at her age. Hope she takes it easy and recovers.

 

[hairygreenpeas]

Now it's falling into place.

But damn, she's still continuing her campaign efforts. She should definitely take a breather and rest well. Goodness, she seems a force to be reckoned with lol. Hoping for a speedy recovery!

 

[Zackat]

...I mean, it looks like a scrambled TV. Did I miss a meme?

It's the gif where Hillary is dancing with another woman and it is great. You've probably seen it before. Idk

 

[Father_Brain]

Clearly the doctor was bribed to cover up Hillary's case of terminal Morgellons.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Pneuomia is pretty serious, especially at her age. Hope she takes it easy and recovers.

All of this but I expect her to be fine and recover.
