Her hospitalisation following a concussion and blood clot in 2012 is widely documented – however, her opponents believe she suffered lasting damage from this, citing various video clips that appear to show her seizing up, having a coughing fit, and struggling to climb stairs. “It was very much shaped by that election in that period”.

Some voters who do not like Trump worry that Clinton, too, has serious shortcomings.
The stop-and-frisk policy was stopped in NY in August 2013 as the result of the policy’s widespread unpopularity in the minority community and a federal judge’s ruling that it violated New Yorkers’ rights.
The Times said Clinton’s mistakes had distorted perceptions of her character, but praised her work restoring USA credibility in foreign affairs as secretary of state and on behalf of children, women and families throughout her career. Despite polls, Clinton still has the electoral map advantage.

These two papers, it should be noted, are the same ones pushing Kasich for a 2020 run for the White House, which would be his third attempt to win the hearts and minds of Republican base voters.
