“I thought that I could just keep going forward and power through it, and obviously that didn’t work out so well”, she said.

Doctors said at the time she had a blood clot on her brain and temporarily suffered from double vision, before declaring her fully recovered.
“I think the president’s belief that she’d be an excellent president of the United States is something that you’ve heard him say many times”.
At a Friday fund-raiser in New York, Clinton said: “You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the ‘basket of deplorables.’ Right?”
“I just didn’t think it was going to be that big a deal”, she said of the pneumonia diagnosis she received Friday. “This is incredibly personal to me”.
As family members of 9/11 victims read the names of the almost 3,000 people killed in the attacks, she made a decision to leave and get a drink of water. “I felt fine but I’m now taking my doctor’s advice which was given to me on Friday, which I ignored”. “But once I got in, once I could sit down, once I could cool off, once I had some water, I immediately started feeling better”. So far, Donald Trump has offered only a laughable doctor’s note headed “To Whom My Concern” that declared the 70-year-old would be “the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency” – presumably including the current athletic occupant of the office who is 15 years younger.
“Clinton said she had similar dizzy spells in the past”. Aides are promising to release more of her medical records following her bout of pneumonia and conceding they were too slow in providing information about her condition.
Clinton, 68, fell ill at a 9/11 memorial event in NY on Sunday and was seen stumbling as she was helped into her vehicle, forcing her campaign to disclose she had been diagnosed with pneumonia.
“If it happens to you and you’re a busy, active person, you just keep moving forward”, she told CNN.
Campaign officials first said Clinton was overheated and dehydrated before admitting she had pneumonia. We guess this is good, but how long will it take for armchair diagnosticians to either discount the information or use it to begin the whole ridiculous cycle yet again?
“Compare everything you know about me with my opponent”. I think it’s time he met the same level of disclosure that I have for years. We, you know, take responsibility for that, but the information is out there.
Donald Trump is pledging to be “the president of everyone”. “That’s just not even serious”.
Naturally, Mr Trump seized the opportunity to criticize Ms Clinton, although surprisingly, did not mention her apparent illness.
To an audience of roughly 6,000 supporters in downtown Philadelphia, Obama argued that Clinton has been more transparent in providing health and financial records than her rival, as well as releasing her past tax returns while Trump refuses to release his.

“I’ll be releasing very, very specific numbers”, he said on Fox and Friends.
