Clinton has said she regretted her remark.

Merrill said the Democratic nominee spent Tuesday reading briefing material, calling aides and watching President Barack Obama campaign on her behalf in Philadelphia.
Clinton was scheduled to speak Thursday night at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute Annual Awards Gala but it’s not clear if she will still attend.
Clinton, 68, fell ill at a 9/11 memorial event in NY and was seen wobbling as she was helped into her vehicle, forcing her campaign to disclose she had been diagnosed with the acute respiratory infection. How dare she, Trump said, “attack, slander, smear, demean these wonderful, awesome people”.
Trump, meanwhile, set aside his recent digs at Clinton’s health and told Fox that he hopes “she gets well and gets back on the trail and we’ll be seeing her at the debate”.
Donald Trump has repeatedly accused Hillary Clinton of having poor judgement, and now she’s proven he’s right … when it comes to her own health … partially because Trump and his surrogates keep saying she’s dying.
She may not be able to vote for years, but Donald Trump Jr. has chose to use his daughter in continued attacks on Hillary Clinton. Asked whether she fainted, Clinton replied: “No, I didn’t”. “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”.
After her Friday pneumonia diagnosis, Clinton was determined to “power through”, she told CNN late Monday.
“I’m feeling great, I’m feeling great”, she said.
The GOP nominee and his campaign said Clinton’s comment plays into the idea that she is a sheltered elitist, who sees herself as better than regular people and above the law.
Republican Donald Trump has rolled out a new attack line against Hillary Clinton as they enter the final stretch of the presidential race, and it’s a head-turner. But this gaffe continues to reveal truth about Clinton and Trump now that it’s the focus of dueling campaign ads. “I have just examined her and she is now rehydrated and recovering nicely”.
By Monday afternoon, a spokesman said Clinton will also release additional medical information.
Her campaign initially attributed Sunday’s health scare to overheating and dehydration. Several hours later, her doctor acknowledged she had been diagnosed with pneumonia two days earlier. “We can not afford to act as if there is some equivalence here”, Obama told supporters of Hillary Clinton at a campaign event in Philadelphia.
A federal investigation of that issue said she was “extremely careless” in her handling of classified emails but did not recommend criminal charges.

“If we’re requiring Hillary to get up there with a doctor, then Trump should get up there with a doctor”, said Chet Greenwood, a Trump supporter in Vermont.
