Cover up on her health or did she just get'overheated'?

She has pneumonia. Amazing she's been able to carry on so long.
LB...I agree. But the media being what it is, will focus on this rather than challenging Trumps latest foot-in-mouth !

Most of the media have focused on covering up her health issues.
Talbot....no they haven't. What we are seeing now is the infatuation with Hilary's health, by a Media that revels in sensational reporting, and is largely against her and doesn't represent a true view of the situation.

Whether some people like it or not, Hilary is the only person who can stop Trump from getting the keys to the Oval Office, something that doesn't bear thinking about.
It may not bear thinking about for you, but for millions of Americans the thought of 'that woman' in the White house strikes fear into their hearts.

I'm still in two minds as to whether this is a put up job for the sympathy vote or whether she really is ill. Lets see how quickly she recovers.

The problem is, if she is really ill then she cannot stand for the most powerful position in the World.

Drivel.
Broaden your horizons and start reading a wide and varied source of News outlets.

You think CNN (and others) are against her when they describe yesterdays event as a 'Stumble'

I would say CNN's take on it 'doesn't represent a true view of the situation'
What the Media should be doing is looking into Trumps increasingly wild and unhinged utterances. But the Media will continue to concentrate of the lowest common denominator.

If Trump does get into the White House, he will be the first to do so after heaping praise on Russia and its Leader. You couldn't make it up.
YMB > I'm still in two minds as to whether this is a put up job for the sympathy vote or whether she really is ill.

Do you really think that she is going to risk faking illness when she is ahead in the polls? How many 'sympathy votes' do you consider she will achieve?

Trump's supporters will see this as a vulnerable time for Clinton and will seek to exploit every weakness possible about whether her health would stand the rigours of the Presidency.

Let's have some realism here,Trump will clutch at any straws he can to close the gap but he won't be clutching the thing that will elude him: the keys to the White House.
\\ Today those rumours were fuelled. //
Not a rumour, a confirmation she has pneumonia. The best President America ever had suffered from chronic back pain, it didn't stop him carrying out his duties, are present day American Presidents not allowed to be ill?
My take on "Hillary's Health" in the absence of hard facts and her personal medical notes.
1) Likely scenario: she has an allergic condition which is common and recently at the 9/11 commemoration, became dehydrated in the heat possible exaggerated by taking anti-histamine like drugs for her allergy.

So far......no big deal.

2) the "pneumonia" is not like you and me know it and probably is an X-ray comment associated with her allergy.

3) Thrombosis of a vein behind her ear. This is extremely rare and a big deal.....a very big deal. But seeing her condition one would have to say that this was...rumour....exceedingly unlikely to be true.

4) Concussion" she would have had multiple MRI scans and if significant would not be allowed to continue campaigning.

So...as commonest things occur commonest, it is my opinion that the health of Mrs Clinton is no big deal.

I am afraid mikey's tips for the top jobs will let him down once again as my money goes on Trump to be the next American President.
One has a wobble and it's a big deal.

The other throws wobblers and it's not such a big deal because Trump is Trump and,as I've said before,his lack of subtlety will cost him millions of votes and ultimately he will be his own undoing.
mikey; //Why do you constantly defend the ogre Trump ? Do you really think that he will make a good President ?// Probably - I don't have a crystal ball though.
'Hillary Clinton [health notwithstanding] is carrying more baggage than the Queen Mary and Trump will carpet-bomb the country in the run-up with a billion dollars of reminders of Benghazi (she slept while her ambassador was murdered), the televised apology to the world’s Muslims, the FBI director’s non-indictment indictment; the malodorous conflicts of the Clinton Foundation entwined with the Clinton State Department. Even Whitewater is due for a rerun. This is not Norman Rockwell’s or Walt Disney’s America, and it never was. American presidential politics is a jungle; the nominees are great beasts, but Donald Trump is larger and fiercer. In taking over a major US political party from the outside, he has done something that has never been done before, and he should win.'
The idea that this is an attempt to grab the "sympathy vote" is ludicrous, really. Trump and others have previously attacked Clinton for suspected ill health. The last thing she'd do, then, is give justification to such attacks. What the undecided Americans make of it is anyone's guess, but this is far more likely to be a vote-loser than a winner, and Clinton will have known that.
Jim...some people are very susceptible to conspiracy theories !
What, is the current climate, are the most worrying 5 words for the world?

"Bill, I don't feel well"

Tho I guess we'd get a replacement who would not be one of those pesky "powerful women" ...
Yeah ad some people keep an open mind.

But then you would not know tat if it hit you square in the face.

//when she is ahead in the polls? // Perhaps do some Googling, she is not far ahead and she actually has very little to hit Trump with. Whilst the elitist Establishment may scoff at Trumps sound bites the Many of the American public agree with him. It is by no means a given Hillary will win.

" Perhaps do some Googling, she is not far ahead [in the polls]".

Depends on which poll you take. The gap is actually pretty healthy by US presidential election standards -- although with two months to go may yet narrow. Current models tend to predict a Hillary win with about 70% probability. Most polls give Clinton a lead of between 1 and 8 points, with Trump having tied in one or led by a point in another, but not much other than that to go on in the last month or so.

The race is very much alive, but Clinton's been leading all the way so far.
for 68 year old woman to be out every day on the election process really would make any person of that age ill, like her or not its a shame that this incident in the late stages of the election could loose her the vote after such hard work for many months
Poor woman. Every sneeze ,cough ,eyelid blink, stumble, hand gesture will scrutinized by the watching world, yesterday she looked unwell, she didn't stumble, she fell into the car,her staff did a poor job of assisting her adequately. Quite simply it could just be her age (67) ? and a gruelling schedule. Sympathy vote absolutely not, any world leader must be seen to be in tip top condition. So maybe she is not as healthy as Trump, but at least she is not Crazy and very dangerous.
