Hillary Clinton sought to draw a line Monday (Sept 12) under the health scare rocking her White House campaign, assuring supporters she will return to the fray this week.

The former president’s comments to Rose come amid some confusion about what sparked his wife’s collapse when she left a 9/11 memorial service in New York City early Sunday.
Hours later, her doctor said the 68-year-old Democratic nominee had been diagnosed with pneumonia last Friday. But like a lot of people I thought I could keep going forward and power through it and obviously that didn’t work out so well.
“While her campaign slanders you as deplorable and irredeemables, I call you hard-working Americans patriots that love your country and want a better future for all our people”, Trump said, according to a report by The Hill.
“You can not run for president if you have such contempt in your heart for the American voters – and she does”, he said. Late on Sunday, she cancelled plans to travel to California for two days of fundraising, campaigning and an appearance on Ellen DeGeneres’ talk show.
The first of three debates is scheduled for September 26.
“Antibiotics can take care of pneumonia”, wrote David Axelrod, U.S. President Barack Obama’s senior adviser on Twitter.
Clinton said that when she entered the air-conditioned van and drank Gatorade, she immediately felt better. “I’m aware of it and usually can avoid it”, she said.
Clinton told CNN her doctors advised her Friday to rest for five days, but she went ahead with a schedule that included the 9/11 ceremony, two fund-raisers and sessions with the news media.
“It is our intention in the next couple of days we will be releasing additional medical information about Hillary Clinton”, Fallon said.
“You could imagine the scenario where someone has pneumonia, is very busy, becomes dehydrated, has to take a break for a while, which we all do, we’re human”, says Gourdine.
“Hillary will have to figure out what she’s willing to share and what she’s willing to explain”, Gingrich said.
As for whether of not Dr. Bornstein – who in December opined, “If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency”, – Kilmeade says, “I think it’s a different doctor” who did the physical. “When I saw this in its full form and I saw the anger with which she said it”, Trump told the Fox News Channel early Monday, “I think it’s the single biggest mistake of the political season”. “I think you’re likely to have at least discussions and perhaps controversy”.
