Earlier Monday, former President Bill Clinton said she’s had problems with dehydration before.

However, Mrs Clinton’s campaign staff confirmed late last night that those plans had been cancelled. He continued,”I just saw the Secretary waiting for the van and the van came and she can’t walk inside and she gets helped. she lost her shoe and everything”.

Democrats said her attendance at events despite her pneumonia diagnosis proved her toughness.
Donald Trump criticized Hillary Clinton Monday for her characterization that half of his supporters belonged in “a basket of deplorables”, denouncing the comment as “an explicit attack on the American voter” and suggesting that it makes her unfit for the presidency.
An outbreak of respiratory illness swept through Hillary Clinton’s campaign in the weeks before she was diagnosed with pneumonia, campaign aides said Monday. She waved to reporters and said, “I’m feeling great”.
Clinton said on CNN on Monday that her doctor advised her on Friday to rest for five days.
On Monday Mr. Trump said Mrs. Clinton’s remarks were the single biggest mistake of the campaign and said her response to the backlash has fallen short.
“What happened yesterday was that I just was incredibly committed to being at the memorial”, Clinton told CNN. “It’s just the kind of thing if it happens to you and you’re an active person you keep moving forward”, Clinton said.
A video taken on Sunday shows Clinton leaning against a security post before her knees buckled. If Clinton ended her candidacy for health reasons, the 200-plus member democratic national committee made up of members from each state would elect her replacement.
Addressing her pneumonia diagnosis, Clinton said she thought it was just a cough or seasonal allergies, until her doctor diagnosed her on Friday.
The campaign has asked Barback to prepare Clinton’s medical records to be made public, according to spokesman Brian Fallon, and the Democratic nominee is expected to back on the campaign trail by mid-week.
The Clinton camp dismissed the criticism, saying, “Trump has spent the entire campaign offering divisive views that have given rise to far too much hatred and bigotry – Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine will continue to call that out”. In 2012, a clot was discovered in her brain while she was undergoing treatment for a concussion.
“I was deeply shocked and alarmed to hear my opponent attack, slander, smear, demean these wonderful, fantastic people who are supporting our campaign by the millions”, Trump told a conference of National Guard members in Baltimore.
He pledged to release the results of a medical examination he took over the past week, with “very, very specific numbers”.
Privately, some Republicans say Trump would likely be losing more convincingly to another Democratic nominee.

While getting an infection isn’t predictable, the public doesn’t need every little detail about a candidate’s health history, said Dr. G. Kevin Donovan, a physician and bioethicist at Georgetown University Medical Center.
