This.
I'd say chances are that our next president will have some kind of health issues. We all know about Reagan now and he was about the same age as Trump/Hillary. But maybe not?
By contrast, Obama is just now 55 so the next president certainly won't be as youthful.

Yeah that is not hot... and this is not good.

Obama aged hard too and he's a pretty healthy dude--smoking habit notwitstanding. Dat Presidential stress.

80 and 40% is pretty cool because it's dry. But I can understand it being pretty hot with all the formal attire they're probably wearing.
Pleasant morning
That's in Spanish, so it's even hotter.
Like others are saying, it's not that hot or humid in NYC today. It's a really nice day.
Let's wait for more information and hope it's nothing serious. Don't want to see her campaign completely ignore it or let it linger, just having her come out and joke about it would go a long way towards putting it aside. As it stands the current statement and air of uncertainty will only fuel the rumblings that something's being hidden from the public.

Maybe we'd just prefer them to be healthy enough to do the job, regardless of age. Both candidates are uncomfortably old IMO.

82F is 28C right? That's pretty hot.
They do. And it's not only Americans. It's also Russians, North Koreans, and citizens of any country that have been indoctrinated with nationalism since birth.

What information do you have that she is not healthy? There is no proof at all.

the fox reporter, the nbc witnesses, and the fact that the campaign statement didn't use any language like "she stepped out" to at least imply that she didn't faint, but instead went with the vague "overheated" statement.
i would bet that she did in fact faint but i hope she didn't.

Yes, that I understand. Can she really be seen as weak or sick in the sense of not being fit to run the country, because of this?
Until further notice, this doesn't seem a particular bad case for her. Overheating is a fairly common issue with both men and women from what I know. And it's not like she is going to work on a furnace or something.

It wasn't 82 degrees when this happened. It's not even 82 degrees now. It sure as hell wasn't 82 degrees 2 hours ago. And it's not humid.
But Trump is two years older than Hillary and in great health - particularly his hands.

She's a major presidential candidate. Of course it's news.

*Sigh*
People keep talking about the polls tightening, but fail to realize we're talking national polls that are notoriously manipulative. The actual electorate polling has not tightened all that much in a month's time. The fact that people think this conspiracy theory driven drivel is going to swing anything just because Hillary left a memorial due to heat exhaustion is crazy. Did think all that Muslim conspiracy theory shit was going to sink Obama? The alt-right will eat it up, with the 'normal' right harping on, but anyone soft-leaning right, moderate or left-leaning at all will just roll their eyes.
Phew! Thank goodness!

Haha. No.
It isn't hot. That's fall weather.
I wouldn't expect a woman such as herself from NY and who has traveled extensively to consider that fainting weather.
I can see it being possible the stress of the campaign is catching up to her.
Dat inside scoop
Then you shouldn't be electing anyone over 55 for office. 60+ y.o are going to have plenty of issues.
Still, many great world leaders have been old and ill.
Yeah, but you aren't 68.

It's not. Friday and Yesterday were really hot. Not today.

The denial in this thread is glorious.
Standing up in general causes blood to pool in your legs, young soldiers standing at attention for long periods of time faint all the time. It's extremely common and normal. You also don't know what she was wearing on the heat etc, but heat doesnt have to play a factor
Basicaly, speculating in any way is silly, and her health should be left alone to her doctors
I'm gonna shoot in the dark and say he's probably not mentally well.

How do you know he's not 68? For all you know, we're all 68.

Of the three things you listed only one was directly precipitated by Bush. Meanwhile, there are 18 Presidents who were unapologetic slave owners. Among them was Andrew Jackson, who killed a man for speaking ill of his wife and participated in genocide. There is absolutely nothing arguable about the claim that Bush is the worst President in American History. It's outright false and trivializes the long list of horrific acts by Presidents born in eras that did not instill them with the values George W. Bush and any modern American would presumably have.
You lack historical perspective.

Overheating is the best excuse they could come up with? Do they not realize 80 degrees is laughable?

i'd rather have Clinton die in office and have Tim Kaine as President rather than elect Trump.
But it's obvious this is going to hurt her.

I don't see why this is an issue. Let's say she really has health issues and can't finish a term or two, so what? Tim Kaine seems like a perfectly fine president. It's not like she picked Sarah Palin or Mike Pence.
It's been about that hot and humid in Chicago lately and I feel like dying. Make it stop already.

"What if she "overheats" and leaves in the middle of talks with the Russians/Syria/etc.?" - will be the line of attack from now on, furthering the narrative that she is too weak/sick to be president.

My 80 year old grandmother goes hiking in 90+ degree weather. Hillary's just a health disaster. Wonder how many years she's got left.
So what, you think she is on deaths door? She's probably got the flu or a cold or something from going around and meeting a lot of people. You are buying into memes if so.

Look at the VPs. If this is true (which it appears to be, and honestly I think the earlier stuff was hand-waved too much) Kaine is a very qualified, pragmatic candidate.
Then you have Trump and Mike Huckabee's twin brother.
