Clinton and her campaign “didn’t do themselves any favors” after her incident on Sunday because they did not immediately release a comprehensive statement about the health scare, Pumpelly said.
But the nonstop travel in 1998 took a toll.
In December 2012, she suffered a concussion and shortly afterward developed a blood clot. He said that while “the last couple of days could have gone better”, the main cost to the Clinton campaign had been “playing defense instead of offense” while parrying questions about her health.
Axelrod, who helped President Barack Obama beat Clinton to the Democratic nomination in 2008, understands that Team Clinton has plenty of right-wing critics and conspiracies to be paranoid about. “You know, it is something that has occurred a few times over the course of my life”. “Her staff thought she had pulled a muscle exercising”. What is “deplorable”, she said was that Trump hired Breitbart News” Steve Bannon, “a major advocate for the so-called “alt-right’ movement to run his campaign and that David Duke and other white supremacists see him as a champion of their values”. The media has launched a wave of comments on her hiding of her health conditions. Video showed her stumbling into a van and being held up by aides.
“I’m very interested if his doctor treated the previous 40-something presidents to be able to make that judgment”.
“This is just who she is”. She is a workhorse. Not because she’s sick, ‘ Conway told CNN.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Tuesday stepped up efforts to wring maximum advantage from Democratic rival Hillary Clinton’s comment that his supporters are “deplorables” as he seeks to portray her as out of touch with ordinary Americans.
“She’s been accused of everything you can imagine, and has been subjected to more scrutiny and what I believe is more unfair criticism, than anybody out here”, Obama told the crowd, to cheers.
Her supporters now are trying to turn the episode into a badge of honor – and a credential for the White House.
“Really? This is the guy you want to be championing workin’ people?”
Getting pneumonia doesn’t mean you’re unhealthy. Staffers said the former president will take her place at Tuesday and Wednesday campaign events as she continues to recover.
Mr. Trump is 70 years old and Ms. Clinton is 68 – older than all recent presidential candidates. After almost fainting and keeping the press in the dark about her whereabouts and health, the candidate has spent the past two days resting at home while she battles pneumonia.
“What happened … was that I just was incredibly committed to being at the memorial – as a senator on 9/11, this is incredibly personal to me”, Clinton said.
Clinton spent Monday at her home in Chappaqua, New York, after canceling a fundraising trip in California.
Hillary Clinton will return to public view in North Carolina on Thursday, aides said, appearing in Greensboro after an unexpected three-day interruption from the campaign trail.
