NEW YORK-Hillary Clinton was diagnosed with pneumonia and was dehydrated when she suddenly left a 9/11 memorial ceremony Sunday, her doctor said, sparking fresh speculation about the Democratic presidential candidate’s health barely eight weeks from Election Day.

What Clinton was trying to do was appeal to the other half of Trump voters in her analogy, the ones she says “feel the government has let them down” and are latching onto Trump’s promise of a shake-up in Washington.
Clinton, 68, felt ill Sunday at the ceremony commemorating the 2001 terrorist attacks at Ground Zero and departed for her daughter’s apartment in NY. “I’m feeling great, it’s a attractive day in NY.” she said, walking out wearing sunglasses.
Hillary Clinton has verbally banished half of Donald Trump’s backers to a “basket of deplorables”, and the Republican presidential nominee is quickly pouncing.
The incident will no doubt make waves on the White House campaign trail, as her Republican rival Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed that the former secretary of state, 68, was temperamentally and physically unfit to be president. Last month, she delivered a major speech in which she accused Trump of aligning himself with far-right extremists and saying he “built his campaign on prejudice and paranoia”.
He later told CNBC that Mrs Clinton’s stumble and illness was “quite sad”. “Without examining, without having the history. you don’t have a basis to say anything”.
Bardack said in the statement Sunday evening that Clinton has had an allergy-related cough, and that during an exam on Friday, was diagnosed with pneumonia, put on antibiotics, and advised to rest and modify her schedule.
When Hillary Clinton left the 9/11 event, she didn’t take reporters with her or have her staff tell the media she was leaving. John McCain released more than a thousand pages of medical records to show he was cancer-free and fit to serve as president.
However, on Monday he said he had medical tests last week and will release the details once results are back. Bornstein told NBC News he needed just five minutes to write a glowing public assessment of Trump’s health as a limousine waited to carry the letter back to Trump.
Asked if the health of the candidates was an issue, Trump said: “I think it’s an issue”.
Clinton abruptly departed the high-profile, televised event at Ground Zero and was taken to her daughter Chelsea’s home in Manhattan.
“It’s deplorable that he’s attacked a federal judge for his ‘Mexican heritage, ‘ bullied a Gold Star family due to their Muslim faith, and promoted the lie that our first black president is not a true American”, she continued.
She added, “And unfortunately, there are people like that and he has lifted them up”. Our “concept of old”, he stressed, has changed.
Romney said he was talking about Obama supporters, but many real and potential Romney supporters might have heard his comments and seen themselves in them. “We shouldn’t be judging people based on their age, but based on their ideas”.
Questions have been raised about Hillary Clinton’s health after she was filmed being carried into her auto.
In December 2012, she suffered a concussion and shortly afterward developed a blood clot.
Last week, Clinton had an extensive coughing fit during a Labor Day rally in Cleveland, making it hard for her to speak for about two minutes.
The candidate came to the ceremony fresh from a political storm over comments she made about Mr Trump’s supporters at a fundraiser on Friday.
It was, she said, “really deplorable” that her Republican opponent was linked to people from the right-wing “alt-right movement”.

But that departure was not witnessed by the reporters who travel with her campaign. Schumer said he also spoke with Clinton during the event and saw her leave “on her own accord.”?
