When Hillary Clinton was diagnosed with pneumonia late last week, she informed a handful of her closest advisers, but pressed on with a busy campaign schedule and did not inform the public that she was sick.

Asked whether her campaign’s handling of the incident might feed into voter distrust, Clinton became exasperated.
“It really says to me and other supporters of Hillary that we have to be invested, and we’re going to have to get out and work”, said Missouri state Rep. Margo McNeil of suburban St. Louis, who was a Clinton delegate to the Democratic National Convention. Clinton said she is feeling so much better.
Clinton said her campaign will release more information about her health, and took the opportunity to goad Trump into releasing his tax returns and medical records that were not hastily scribbled in a limo.
Bill Clinton is filling in for his wife on the West Coast campaign trail this week.
What irritated me most about the news that Clinton really was ill with pneumonia, forcing her to leave the September 11 memorial ceremony in NY early, is how it gave a moment of undeserved “I told you so” satisfaction to the industry of conspiracy theorists. Several hours later, her doctor acknowledged she had been diagnosed with pneumonia two days earlier. “Compare everything you know about me with my opponent”.
Clinton left the memorial service early after becoming “overheated” during the ceremony, according to her campaign spokesman. They have Trump gaining more than a point and a half and Clinton losing more than a point and a half literally overnight.
Clinton called for women across the country to work for change in America, to make it more equal between women and men. Clinton was spotted leaving her daughter’s apartment shortly before noon. “If they did and it was inappropriate, I would say that was wrong, too”.
It was a humid day in NY, with temperatures around 82 degrees Fahrenheit (28 Celsius).
Clinton also said during the interview on CNN, that there’s a double standard with the scrutiny over her health issues.
A couple of weeks ago, Hillary Clinton was yukking it up with Jimmy Kimmel over the absurdity of rumors that she was hiding something about her health.
“And as soon as I got into the air-conditioned van, I cooled off, I got some water, and very quickly, I felt better”, she said.
The incident gave her rival Donald Trump, 70, a new opening to question her fitness for the nation’s highest office.
In the U.S., Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s health has become a heated topic in the media. “In fact. this last week I took a physical and. when the numbers come in I’ll be releasing very, very specific numbers”.
Trump wished Clinton well and said he would release another round of his own health test results this week.
John McCain, the failed 2008 Republican presidential nominee, allowed reporters to see 1,173 pages of medical records after concerns were raised about a cancer scare.
