She's probably fine but this will have consequences in the polls no doubt. Literally the last thing she needs right now. Trump probably can't believe his luck, she doesn't just faint to play to the health theories but it happens at a fucking 9/11 memorial.

It won't swing *that* many voters at this stage but it really doesn't help.

 

[Suikoguy]

That is literally what pre-syncope/syncope looks like. She should obviously get checked out but that isn't to say that there anything wrong actually with her. Most episodes are vasovagal syncope.

I guarantee she is not "fine" right now.

Hmm, who do I trust. The doctor, or the armchair doctor?

 

[entremet]

Ugh, that video is not good :/ Hope she's ok and this does not affect the election at all.




I've seen this word used a few times, what does it mean?

Chicken little.

Dizziness, light headedness, muscle weakness, staggering.... those are all heat stroke symptoms. It matches up.

 

[Instro]

I would guess dehydration.

She's fine,

[TheLostBigBoss]

I like how everyone is freaking out over a video of her fainting, when she has already been seen walking out of her daughters apartment completely fine.

I'm about ready to spike the community water supply with some prozac

 

[Aeriscloud]

What the hell is wrong with all of you?

Clinton went a bit faint so now America is on fire and Donald Trump is a sure fire thing?

How exactly do you figure that out?

Because that clip will be played on repeat to some journalist asking all the wrong questions over and over.

No one wants to vote in a weak, unhealthy president. People are going to lose confidence in Hillary.

If she faints during the debates or at any other moment after this I'd say Trump wins.

 

[Kayhan]

This election is really going to heat up now.









Too soon?

 

[Dunedain_Ranger]

Cnn showing her walk to the car live que the cute little girl. I'm sure they said she needs to show the public she's fine. However, that first video looked bad

 

[TheCochese]

Some of you need to step out of the echo chamber and try and understand how the 20% works.

This is not nothing, and will continue to be not nothing. The 20% aren't exclusively reasonable people.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Remember when Bush jr. choked on a Brezel on a dinner and fainted? In 2001?

 

[Omiee]

For the love of god dont let this be the reason trump becomes president

 

[Ekai]

I'm not sure where your from, but it's almost been 80 everyday this summer in Wisconsin. Iv been perfectly fine. I also work in a factory. It's reaches near 100s there. I know what heat feels like.

I know what it feels like too. And 80 is ridiculously warm. Especially with a high humidity. How anyone can stand 100+ temps I can't comprehend. I mean, sure, 80 is better than 100 but it's still really fricking warm.

I can't explain it. Apparently the election is to be held 5 minutes from now?

it was a pretzel and it was 2002

 

[Spiral Insanity]

I guarantee she is not "fine" right now.

Where do you get this?

 

[Lord Frieza]

The American electorate.

Trump is far behind in electorate polling, and has not one time actually overtaken Clinton since the general stated? What is the electorate saying, now?

 

[sk3]

It's ok guys, it was just leg day. Happens to all of us.

 

[Betty]

Are you going to vote for someone who says mexicans are rapists and muslims should not be allowed to enter just because the other candidate fainted one time?

I wont, mostly because i'm not in the US, but plenty others will.

 

[Sectorseven]

She's fine,

https://twitter.com/TalalNAnsari/status/774998932011229184?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

I wonder what they shot her up with.

 

[tedtropy]

Welp, get ready for right attack ads to slip into a somehow more disgusting gear with that video. I'm sure Hannity just doesn't know what to do with his erection at this point.

Hopefully she's alright, it'd be even more disastrous had she not returned. Hillary to appear next wearing bionic water-cooled pantsuit?

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

80 degrees (or 26 celsius for us european) is good. Right now we have more than 30 celsius here.

Don't we have a thread every year for the hot UK summers of 25C?

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

What the hell is wrong with all of you?

Clinton went a bit faint so now America is on fire and Donald Trump is a sure fire thing?

No, Trump is not a sure thing yet. And an old woman fainting at an event is not necesarily a red flag for her health either.
But this news story and the video are playing right into Trump's narrative and he's never going to let that go. There are still a lot of undecided voters and this is really bad news.

 

[SteveO409]

That zgazda66 user shouldn't have posted it until later on during the day. He could have made 4-5 figures selling that to a news organization/tmz

 

[Shake Appeal]

What the hell is wrong with all of you?

Clinton went a bit faint so now America is on fire and Donald Trump is a sure fire thing?

How exactly do you figure that out?

Because it feeds a long-running narrative that she's hiding serious health conditions?

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

This isn't a huge story nor should it be brushed aside. It's somewhere in the middle.

And that's my controversial hot take.

 

[StarCreator]

I was taking a nap and got woken up by NBC breaking footage of Clinton walking out of an apartment building under her own power. It's amazing what qualifies as news these days.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

it was a pretzel and it was 2002

Sorry. My mistake. Still, its not like thats a problem.

 

[hairygreenpeas]

Omg The media is gonna have a field day with that video. I hope Hillary's doing fine though. If this is somehow enough to help win Trump the presidency, I just fucking can't with this country anymore. I already have to deal with the fact that Philippines - my homeland - elected some crazy asshole for president.

 

[diablos991]

Damn. She couldn't even stand on her own. They pretty much carried her to that van.

 

[Anarky]

Really not the best time for a heat stroke. Hoping this doesn't affect the polls too much.

 

[everyday math]

I know what it feels like too. And 80 is ridiculously warm. Especially with a high humidity. How anyone can stand 100+ temps I can't comprehend. I mean, sure, 80 is better than 100 but it's still really fricking warm.

I'm not sure how I do either. Lol

 

[ratcliffja]

For the love of god dont let this be the reason trump becomes president

That would make two horrible events on this date. Can we just go straight to the 12th next year?

 

[Neuromancer]

Be realistic, the right is going to show this video over and over in attack ads. It absolutely could have an effect on this election.

 

[Crisco]

I wonder what they shot her up with.

Water? Jesus christ people lol

 

[TheCochese]

Remember when Bush jr. choked on a Brezel on a dinner and fainted? In 2001?

This has video and exists in a time where the alt-right is a powerful presence.

 

[SporeCrawler]

I wont, mostly because i'm not in the US, but plenty others will.

I doubt that. Trump has assocoated himself too much to the far right. An undecided afroamerican or latino will not swing to trump because they saw hillary faint one time

 

[GaimeGuy]

I wonder what they shot her up with.

water

 

[teruterubozu]

Sorry. My mistake. Still, its not like thats a problem.

Yeah but chocking on a pretzel is just clumsiness. People found that endearing.

 

[Aaronology]

Are you going to vote for someone who says mexicans are rapists and muslims should not be allowed to enter just because the other candidate fainted one time?

I think much of HillGAF is more concerned about what the average American voter will do. Let's not engage in denial. The political ramifications of this incident being caught so clearly in video will likely be significant and unavoidable regardless of Clinton's actual health status. And it happened on 9/11.

It's legitimately worrisome.

 

[quickwhips]

Hope she recovers ok. We need to start electing younger people for president.

 

[commedieu]

Her team dropped the ball. They should have said she was overwhelmed by the losses on 911, and had to be carried into the van.

:/

 

[Dirca]

Remember when Bush jr. choked on a Brezel on a dinner and fainted? In 2001?

Remember when Bush Sr. threw up on some Japanese dignitaries and then the Japanese trained a monkey to imitate Bush? That was hysterical.

 

[Mental Atrophy]

Pretty much everyone I know wouldn't be able to stand heat like that. And we're not that old.



Yea. It happens. I'm not at all surprised to hear of heat-exhaustion in that kind of weather. I am surprised to see anyone argue that it's not normal to have it.



I know. I'm just saying that 80 is ridiculously warm. Because it frankly is.

I can't tell if you're lying to us or to yourself.

 

[Y2Kev]

I wonder what they shot her up with.

Probably epinephrine.

 

[Androidsleeps]

This is how it ends then?
Global Warming sends its regards.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

She could be bed-ridden come election day, and I'd still vote for Hillary/Kaine.
