Hillary's health

[Joods]

When Hillary's pneumonia is cured Drumpf will still be a batshit crazy motherfucker.

That worries me much more.

Yup. You can't cure batshit crazy. Well, you can, but it's permanent, if you catch my drift.

Is it something to be concerned about?  Since I'm not her private physician, I can't say whether it is or isn't something to be concerned about.  And neither can you.  

Oh, so someone collapses in the street in front of me, but since I'm not that person's private physician, it's not something to be concerned about.

How absolutely moronic that is.

(emphasis mine)

Putting words in my mouth now? I said explicitly that I don't know whether or not to be concerned. Now you're just being an ass. Collapsing can have many causes, some serious, some not so serious. Only chicken little here thinks that it's automatically a major concern.

Whether it's a concern or not, one should at least try to find out and help however they can.

[Excited Penguin]

Yeah. So much that if Clinton said the sky was yellow they'd have a dozen editorials telling you it is.

Dead Hilary would be a better president than alive Trump. Having no president would be better than a Trump presidency.

That's not true.

I found that video odd. Unless she does eccentric gestures like that often enough that it's normal for her, I find her comment about the chai tea after she supposedly overreacted to being taken by surprise by reporters kind of out of place. She seems pretty restrained the rest of the time to me, so this is either a pretty curious way for her to express herself, as an isolated thing that happened that one time, or it's health related somehow.

Anyway, she is clearly better than Trump and this is not grounds for anyone to change their votes in that regard. She has a better VP too.

So, to recap, I pretty much repeated what everyone else said at this point.

I knew you'd come back with this bullshit. No, you specifically said that due to you not being her personal physician you can't say whether you should be concerned. This is utterly ridiculous in the extreme.

You do not need to be someone's personal physician to be concerned if they collapse on the street. Yes, not every time someone collapses is automatically a life-threatening thing, but to sit there and go "I can't say if we should be concerned" is fucking dumb as shit. Hence why I gave the example of if someone collapsed on the street in front of you. In that instance you wouldn't be going "I can't be sure if I should be concerned or not", you'd be concerned. End of.

It's over now. You seem incredibly angry that people aren't agreeing that Clinton is gravely ill.

And I'd say the same thing if we were talking about Trump, so don't even play that card. It's not important, so let's move on.

Those are two different topics. We were discussing whether or not to be concerned as in it being a major health issue. Now you've moved the goalpost to one of being concerned as in interested in the general health of someone. Would I be concerned that someone collapsed in front of me, sure. Would I be concerned to learn that someone had pneumonia and had collapsed but they're okay now? I don't know; I'd need more information. But you go ahead and go on panicking on the basis of no information.

[Thumpalumpacus]

lol, Nappy's always angry about something, Mermaid.

It may concern you slightly more if you took into account the fact that Hillary collapsing wasn't just a one-off occurrence. She had another episode of fainting in 2012, which led to a blood clot and concussion. Since then she's been taking blood thinners in order to recover.

Also, she hardly did any rallies or even public events for that matter since late August, most likely because of her developing illness: "In the heat of late August, Hillary Clinton all but disappeared from the public eye, retreating to the country’s wealthiest enclaves from Nantucket to Beverly Hills to host private, high-dollar fundraisers. [...] Clinton’s dip in the polls coincides with her absence from the campaign trail. She held just two public events in the two weeks before Labor Day weekend, a close look at her campaign’s schedule shows, while hosting 20 fundraisers in the same period." (Source)

Now, whether you think the collapse indicates a major health issue or a general health issue, it is still something that attracted a good deal of attention. And this has affected peoples' perception of her health, and reasonably so.

Even long before this collapse incident, Hillary often used to appear tired and unenthusiastic to me. Maybe that's why she isn't able to motivate and energize people the way that Trump is able to. This is evident by the larger crowds in Trump's rallies compared to Hillary's.
