In the same interview, Clinton hit back at criticism over her lack of transparency by blasting her Republican opponent for declining to release his tax returns – a long standard move during USA presidential campaigns.

In light of all the rumors going on about Hillary’s health, her campaign managers decided against disclosing the information until Sunday, when she was caught on camera losing her balance and fainting as she was escorted back to her van after participating in a 9/11 memorial ceremony.
“On Thursday, September 15, Hillary Clinton will deliver remarks in Greensboro, North Carolina and discuss her vision for an America that is stronger together”, her campaign said yesterday.
“I’m feeling fine and getting better”, Mrs Clinton posted on Twitter, signing with the “H” which signifies she personally wrote the message.
The Decocratic nominee, who has said she will be back on the campaign trail “in the next couple of days”, reassured supporters via text message and Facebook. “It is just the kind of thing that if it happens to you and you are a busy, active person, you keep moving forward”, she told CNN last night.
Unfortunately for Trump, the Clinton team has just raised the level of disclosure even higher; we now know the candidate has a troubled relationship with water.
A federal investigation of that issue said she was “extremely careless” in her handling of classified emails but did not recommend criminal charges.
“I said you know, this is the time when there is a lot of resentment and small wounds”. Shortly thereafter, staffers said Hillary Clinton was dehydrated.
Mrs Clinton scrapped a two-day fundraising swing through California scheduled for Monday and Tuesday (local time), and she may be sidelined for a third day.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said he hoped his Democratic rival “gets well soon”.
The questions are swirling in the presidential campaign this evening: How much do voters know about the candidates’ health, and how much should they know?

The Clinton campaign is doing damage control after waiting until she almost fainted before disclosing her pneumonia diagnosis, while Donald Trump continues to face scrutiny for not releasing his tax returns. “What’s the cure for an unhealthy penchant for privacy that repeatedly creates unnecessary problems?”- has gone viral, and Ms. Clinton campaign managers said more information about her health will be made public.
