“It’s a insane time we live in, you know, when people think there’s something unusual about getting the flu”, he said.

“Well if it is, it’s a mystery to me and all of her doctors because frequently – well not frequently, rarely – but on more than one occasion, over the last many, many years, the same sort of thing happened to her when she got severely dehydrated”, Bill Clinton said.
Hillary Clinton has been off the campaign trail this week as she recovers from pneumonia, which is what a spokesman said Bill Clinton meant to say.
Initially, the Clinton campaign said for the former first lady was dehydrated, but later admitted she’d been diagnosed with pneumonia.
Over the course of about 40 minutes, the former president spoke dismissively of Hillary Clinton’s email scandal, argued that Donald Trump’s immigration proposals are misguided and suggested that the Republican nominee’s call to “make America great again” was racially tinged code for rolling the clock back 50 years.
Outraged social media users hit out at “media bias” and a “cover-up” when they found that CBS edited out a crucial segment of their interview with Bill Clinton. Clinton was last in the state late last month, delivering a blistering speech in Reno detailing Trump’s ties to the alt right, a movement she said is inspired by racism and other dark forces.
“I felt fine, but I’m now taking my doctor’s advice – which was given to me on Friday, that I ignored – to just take some time to get over pneumonia completely”. Bill Clinton said nothing more serious is happening.
But Clinton also offered a robust defense of his charitable foundation.
In a wide-ranging interview on “The Daily Show”, the president took on a more sentimental tone and expressed why he believed the foundation would undergo fundamental changes. “That is, if Hillary wins I’d be both a former president and a spouse. And I’ve loved it”, Clinton said. “You know, I really have learned that we waste so much of our lives at these outbursts of anger”, Clinton said. “Most of her strongest supporters are people who have worked for her or have done business with him”.

“We built an organization that helped 430 million people in 180 countries just by getting people together, including organizing the first 500 tons of medical equipment to the Ebola epidemic, and it didn’t cost the taxpayers a penny”. She’s trying to get her party winning a third time. I’m proud of that.
