She's a woman, and now she may be a mortal woman.
They wouldn't pull him if it were a specific threat against her.

Just more ammo for Trump. It doesn't matter whether it's actually a medical episode of something else.

Based on how badly presidents age in 4 years this doesn't bode well for Hillary making it the whole way through. She practically a walking corpse if these reports are to be believed. Sad.

If it is health related, why does that hurt her campaign? Plz explain.

I can get behind this. Hard age caps for lower AND upper limits should be there.

trump is two years older than her, and women typically live longer.
Why? What's the consequence here? People are gonna suddenly vote Trump because she's sick? Fuck that. She could be dying and I wouldn't vote Trump. Her VP would be 100x better president than Trump.

Yes. I mean we know she's been running for President since like 1960 and yet we still know she had blood clots three years ago.

If a threat was to the level of having to immediately motorcade her out of there, I'm confident they would remove others simply as a precaution.
Yes, that's been one of my issues as well. I like both Hillary and Bernie but I really dislike that they are both from a much older and different generation that is far removed from not just mine own, but the majority of the country as well.
Well if they don't have a damn good reason for why she left the ceremony, what do you think people are going to believe?
I'd imagine they'd take every politician out of there if there was a credible threat against any of the politicians there.
Why? He hasn't had a horde of lunatics chanting "Lock him up" or being encouraged to shoot him by a Presidential candidate.

Hillary left a memorial early.
Disrespectful to the victims. She doesnt care about the people who died. Sad!
Like I mentioned, its either that or her being sick. If Trump remains there, regardless of what happens, he'll look "strong".
Even if she left because of security reasons, than thats easy ammo for Trump. "Even though threats were made, I stayed because a President needs to be strong and fearless."
You have people in this thread denying it and trying to downplay it, and its become a bit of an echo chamber, but this doesnt look good at all no matter how you try to spin it.
She did faint and suffered a concussion back in 2012.

Apparently it was because of dehydration and a stomach virus, so not really a big deal.

No matter what they say it'll be spun out of control so I guess they figured it is better to say nothing.

People who are easily influenced and weren't already voting for Trump is the concern. They do exist, don't laugh.
Thank you.

Because it feeds a narrative about her age and overall fitness to serve.
Optics matter.

and then it's Tuesday and nobody gives a shit.
oh wait no I forgot to calculate the optics!
Trump +21 poitns
A lot of Americans are low information voters. It's easier for them to watch a 1 minute clip of Clinton stumbling than it is to read a policy piece. This will hurt her, sadly.
thanks milo

This is such a dumb line of attacks. Worst case scenario and she becomes incapacitated, Tim Kaine is up next. People like the guy.
I imagine turn out would suffer significantly.

I already answered above, just more ammo for Trump and more speculation for the media to fill air time with. I'm not american but if I was I would prefer voting for a rotting corpse rather than Trump, I just think this is bad news.

Optics matter to Trump's rabid base...to reasonable people? Nerp.

Far too narrow. 35-60 (at time of office) is wider and allows for more participation. 62 should be the absolute upper cap. 4 years would move the person in office to retirement age.

Could be some kind of security threat and the Secret Service decided to get her out?
At least we already know Trumps comments on 9/11

I think you may overestimate how many people in the US are "reasonable" in this sense.

The VP running mate has no priority before the election. The DNC would choose the nominee. That means possible clusterfuck between Sanders, Biden, Kaine etc.

I'm guessing you haven't been following. Tons of people already believe the stories about her health. This would only fuel it more. I literally have to listen to it every single day at work.
It's naive to think that the ones who believe it now are the only ones who will ever believe her health is a concern. With more fuel for the fire it can easily sway voters who may concern themselves on whether or not she would be able to perform the job.

Can’t stump the diablos
If Hillary ends up unable to run does Bernie come back into play?
Kaine is already on the ballot. It's too late to change now.

lol no
I think the concern isn't that the VP wouldn't make a good president if (on the slim chance) Hilary was too ill to be president. I think people just have a natural aversion to illness in the people in power. So as a line of attack, I think it seems increasingly viable. Depending on how Hilary responds to this incident and whether or not she is actually sick in any substantial way, I can't help but feel that it might be a significant blow.
Clearly.
