I hope I'm wrong? I was thinking of all the talk with getting another GOP guy to run against Trump and all the problems with that scenario, but maybe it doesn't apply to a 'top two' party candidate.

That was if the RNC could remove Trump from the ticket. If there were a candidate dying or something the parties can deal with that.

No, he doesn't. Both parties have established policies for replacing a candidate that is no longer able (or chooses not) to run. I don't recall when or if those policies have ever been executed, but they are in place and it's not just a matter of elevating the VP candidate by default.

It's weird that that policy would not simply be to elevate the VP candidate by default then, since that's exactly what he'd do if in office.

I fucking knew she was an alcoholic, I bet she has leprosy too. Possibly the plague too?
 
Gonna go ahead and call bullshit. And the worst thing? It doesn't matter that it's bullshit. Once the tweet is out, people will defend it to the death no matter what anyone says.

I'm completely ignorant to the US political system, but what would happen if a candidate were to pull out due to health reasons?

https://ballotpedia.org/State_laws_and_party_rules_on_replacing_a_presidential_nominee

Ballot rules:
The bulk of the dates for certifying the names of major party presidential candidates are in August and September. The Democratic and Republican parties, then, would have until about mid August to find a replacement nominee and still be able to get his or her name on the ballot in enough states to be competitive in November. For example, if a nominee dropped out in late August, his or her name would already be certified to appear as their party's candidate for president in about 20 states. If he or she dropped out in late September, that number rises to almost 40 states.

DNC rules:
The procedures that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) would follow if the Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton dropped out of the race are a bit simpler than the RNC's. The chair of the DNC is to call a meeting, and the DNC holds the authority to elect a replacement nominee by majority vote.

Article 2, section 1 of the Rules and Bylaws of the Democratic Party states that the DNC has the authority to fill vacancies in the nominations for president and vice president. "The Democratic National Committee shall have general responsibility for the affairs of the Democratic Party between National Conventions, subject to the provisions of the Charter and to the resolutions or other official actions of the National Convention. This responsibility shall include, but not be limited to ... Filling vacancies in the nominations for the office of the President and Vice President," reads Article 2.1(c).

Article 2, section 7 states, " a special meeting to fill a vacancy on the National ticket shall be held on the call of the Chairperson, who shall set the date for such meeting in accordance with the procedural rules provided for in Article Two, Section 8(d) of these Bylaws." Article 2, section 8(d) reads, "all questions before the Democratic National Committee shall be determined by majority vote of those members present and voting in person or by proxy."
 
Seeing as other sources are now reporting on this outside of Fox News, surely there's enough cause to be slightly concerned?
 
As time continues to go on and I don't see this reported anywhere else but this guy's Twitter account, I am starting to doubt the legitimacy of this
 
Jesus F Christ at people managing to get pulled into the right wing propaganda machine that has people under the impression that she's two minutes from dying.

Donald Trump is older than her. Sleeps only four hours a night. Does zero exercise. And seems to subsist on eating junk.
 
The worse thing for Clinton is shes kept herself away from the press and camera - whilst this is her natural first reaction to the press, she now has a press core who don't particularly know her and also people are going to tie any health issue with.

Trump supporters and the GOP will drive the health concerns because they know Trump is a polarising candidate. Its an effective strategy but one like the rest of this election shows clear structural issues to the American political system.

Ok, I misread the source I looked up. The policy is in place if there is a death or withdrawal following the election but before inauguration.

That said, I don't see why the party wouldn't push for the same result if it happened before the election.

idk his doctor said he has the greatest health of any human being on earth
 
People are trying to downplay it

But this type of scenario is the reason why FDR hid he was in a wheelchair.

Nobody wants a president that seems weak or sick. If this is true, then its going to hurt Hillary badly. Shes already unlikable. Now shes having medical episodes?

Thats if it is true, but despite that, the narrative is being built. You can laugh at the source, but thats not going to stop it from being influential.

There is CLEARLY something wrong with her....this isn't just allergies or a cough she has.

Even if this true, even if she was deathly ill, she's still a billion times preferable to Donald Trump.

The possibility of her having a health issue doesn't disqualify her, and it definitely doesn't make her a worse candidate.
 
The only other report that I can find is from the Associated Press Twitter and it says that she basically abruptly left with no details on her whereabouts but that could mean a number of things.

Why assume its a health issue though? Since there is no context to the information, why not ALIENS?
