I get headaches and can feel my energy draim being outside on a 85 degree day here in southern California with little or no humidity.

Everybody reacts differently being out in sun.

 

[Guevara]

Oh my god, I better not step outside today... I might die.

Well, you are in Florida.

 

[gdt]

Oh fuck that video is going to haunt us all.

 

[Chezzymann]

Seems like most news stations are still talking about her basket of deplorables thing. And just casually mentioning she fainted. Doesn't seem to be the huge news story people are talking about

 

[Calamari41]

People talking about how 80 degrees being hot or cold is relative... Hasn't Hillary spent the last several decades of her life living in Arkansas, DC, and New York?

 

[Bad_Boy]

As I seem to have to keep repeating, she rested, and was seen literally two hours later strutting around, posing for pictures, waving and smiling and looking like she had plenty of energy..

you make it sound like she was playing a pickup game at rucker park.

that was clearly a camera op to say she was fine, throw a spritzy young child in for good measure.

that wasnt no burnie 40 yd dash or obama alley ooop.

Spoiler

before the hill dawgs lose it, i'm just joking around

 

[BajiBoxer]

You don't have to participate in the thread if that's your view.

It's an okay view to have. But to tell people not to discuss this is silly.

It's a suggestion and an observation, not an order. I've got no problem pointing out there's nothing to discuss while I wait for my football game to start.

 

[entremet]

Ugh now I have family texting me that she had a stroke

Really? She would in the hospital if that was the case.

 

[Trouble]

Wow she was definitely wobbly in the video. There are a lot of non-life threatening reasons why a 68 year old could feel faint or be unsteady on their feet. If she was out and about hours later it was likely nothing serious.

In any case, I've said it before. Hillary could reveal she has terminal cancer and I'd still gladly vote for her. President Kaine doesn't scare me a bit.

 

[Eidan]

Yes, when you're past retirement age and you're running for your first term everyone's health, including Bernie, should be a major concern. Dems and Repubs should be running younger candidates.

They did run younger candidates. Voters didn't nominate them.

 

[Lord Frieza]

So if she is forced to drop out due to health reasons. Would Bernie take up the challenge and what chance would he have against Trump?

Not how it works, and no, he wouldn't have a chance. It'd be political suicide.

 

[The Lamonster]

I just can't believe there might actually be some substance to the right wing health attacks. This plays right into their hands.

 

[A Link to the Past]

Really? She would in the hospital if that was the case.

Clinton is in such good health that she can have a stroke and still be fine

 

[Particle Physicist]

Isn't cardiogenic syncope most common at her age?

Nope. It's still vasovagal, but someone her age would likely be ruled out for cardiogenic if presenting to the emergency department with a syncopal episode. She also never actually passed out so its not full syncope, still pre-syncope.

 

[excelsiorlef]

So if she is forced to drop out due to health reasons. Would Bernie take up the challenge and what chance would he have against Trump?

she's not drooping out. So don't worry about it.

 

[SuperBanana]

People are jumping the gun pretty fast. Sometimes you can just have your legs locked or get a shit sleep or skip breakfast and something like this hits you. It's hardly uncommon.

 

[Dirca]

So if she is forced to drop out due to health reasons. Would Bernie take up the challenge and what chance would he have against Trump?

Are you a US citizen? Just curious, as ive seen this asked alot. No, that wouldn't happen. That's not how this works.

 

[Dalibor68]

...Colder states? lol

In a place like Minnesota, it is not terribly common for it to hit 80 degrees, especially in the northern parts.

Average temperature in Minnesota in july: 70degrees
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Minnesota#Temperature

Average temperature in Vienna (aka Central Europe) in july: 71,1degrees
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna#Geography_and_climate

Ok.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

This thread is going to be hilarious after Hillary wins.

 

[Angrfishe]

The dismissive notion of people who find 80-degree weather to be uncomfortable reminds me a lot of this :v

It's a pointless dick measuring contest, when you're going to find yourself not quite enjoying extreme weather in colder/hotter states.

I like your dismissive notion about dismissive notions and your coy emoticons attempting to make 80 degrees an unbearable temperature for human beings.

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

I don't know what your arguing? There are legitimate concerns over her health. If you are seeing alt right boogie men, that's fine, but it doesn't disqualify the discussion. A woman running for president just fainted in front of our eyes. People are questioning whether her health is ok, seems perfectly reasonable to me. (shrugs)

My point is, all you have is what again?

At times she has had a 'coughing fit'

She has fainted in front of our very eyes.

Shes tripped a couple times.

So you add all this up, and you are what supposing a medical condition. I'm not saying it disqualifies a discussion, I just don't know what the discussion is. That the aforementioned means she has a medical condition? That she is now disqualified from being POTUS? What discussion do you want to have? Should I no longer vote for her?

 

[JABEE]

JABEE, get on madden so we can get our game in!

Real football is on right now. Tonight!

On topic, it looks real to me. Pretty crazy.

 

[Jackpot]

...Colder states? lol

Hillary isn't from Minnesota. She's lived in New York for 20 years.

 

[loaf of bread]

Not if she keels over before the election.

Looks like they are dragging a limp body.

 

[O Canada Our Home and Native Land]

They did run younger candidates. Voters didn't nominate them.

The democratic field was a joke. The only serious candidate at first was Clinton.

 

[Daingurse]

Oh lord, this doesn't look good. More fucking ammo to be used against her.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Eh, looking at the bright side, Trump is against the TPP, so thats one good thing right ?

Spoiler

Is this seriously going to kill her campaign or are people being hyperbolic ?

 

[Blader]

People are jumping the gun pretty fast. Sometimes you can just have your legs locked or get a shit sleep or skip breakfast and something like this hits you. It's hardly uncommon.

That's an understatement. :lol This thread is full of embarrassing posts.

 

[Media]

This is not the news I wanted to wake up to today.

 

[Chinese Cartoons]

On one hand she cant handle the heat of this and on the other she can open a jar.

 

[BajiBoxer]

She's fine now, but let's speculate some more on this, having no knowledge whatsoever on the situation. Oh, and they're saying it's heat-related? Hmm, should I believe them?

Don't believe the lies, she's already dead. Huma is rigging up the body with puppet strings at this very moment.

 

[Dalibor68]

This thread is going to be hilarious after Hillary wins.

Why? What does this fainting and in broader terms her general health have to do with that? Nobody is saying "Hah, she cant win now, go Trump!!".

 

[TheCochese]

I guess it'll be go young or go home in the future. What I don't understand is why someone would vote for a maniac like Trump because of this.

Up to 25% of the American public LVs are undecided to this point, regardless of the massive amount of disqualifying stances Trump has taken.

Never take anything for granted.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

On one hand she cant handle the heat of this and on the other she can open a jar.

Please. That jar was loosened beforehand, we all know it.

 

[Arkeband]

Looks like they are dragging a limp body.

This was as she was leaving the event? Jesus.

 

[JP_]

[valkillmore]

I guess it'll be go young or go home in the future. What I don't understand is why someone would vote for a maniac like Trump because of this.

Nobody is going to vote for Trump because of this alone.

And I'm 100% against Trump getting elected.

But this is really bizarre and I don't buy the heat exhaustion thing.

 

[2MF]

Looks like they are dragging a limp body.

Even before that, she's leaning onto a post and being held already. Then she needs three people holding her to get into a car with wide doors. At that point her foot is just dragging on the floor.

She was clearly feeling quite bad, for whatever reason. There's no way to spin that. The reason itself could range from rather pedestrian to very serious. Who knows...

 

[Garrett Hawke]

that is actually what many are saying in this thread lol

 

[hairygreenpeas]

It's amazing that cognizant ice cubes have found a way to post on GAF.

LOL

Living in the Northwest where the temperature is relatively cold when it's not summer, I can't bear being outside in 80+ degree weather - humid or not. I just don't find it comfortable. But I definitely understand where they're coming from. I spent almost half my life in the Philippines, so I definitely got used to the godawful humidity and 90 - 100+ degree heat that came with living in the tropics back then.

But having lived up here in Washington for almost over a decade now, my temp comfort range is now around 30 to 60 degrees lol.

 

[A Link to the Past]

I like your dismissive notion about dismissive notions and your coy emoticons attempting to make 80 degrees an unbearable temperature for human beings.

I literally said that 80 degrees for a lot of people isn't pleasant lol

But if you want to feel outraged, please, don't let me stop you

Average temperature in Minnesota in july: 70degrees
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Minnesota#Temperature

Average temperature in Vienna (aka Central Europe) in july: 71,1degrees
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna#Geography_and_climate

Ok.

And in my area, the highest temperature this year was 81 degrees.

Who cares what southern Minnesota feels? lol, I'm not going to have a different opinion of what is too hot or too cold based on what other people experience.

 

[cyberheater]

Not how it works, and no, he wouldn't have a chance. It'd be political suicide.

I'm from the UK so don't understand the US political process as much as you guys but doesn't the candidate with the next highest number of delegates gets offered the nomination. In this case it would be Bernie.

 

[Particle Physicist]

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

There could very well be something wrong with her, don't get me wrong. Most episodes are nothing, but given her age she should get checked out as a precaution. Had there not been all the crazy bullshit and coughing crap from before it wouldn't have had people wondering if she has done crazy underlying health problem that has been hidden from us.

 

[Alpha Centauri]

What has this got to do with Hillary?

Tangentially related

The guy who posted the video of hillary was immediately hacked. They redirected everyone to email Stephen Bonnell, aka Destiny, for permission to broadcast the video.

Almost every news outlet is emailing him, thinking it to be legit. Now more people are emailing him to vent their outrage at him recording (he didnt).

someone else brought it up, I said it's kinda funny, and someone else asked for the link. Pretty much the end.

 

[BajiBoxer]

Oh lord, this doesn't look good. More fucking ammo to be used against her.

I don't get posts like this. Why does the video make the news worse? What do you people think a fainting spell looks like?

 

[BocoDragon]

As Presidents go, a passed out Hillary is still superior to Trump.

 

[Eidan]

The democratic field was a joke. The only serious candidate at first was Clinton.

Martin O'Malley was actually a great governor, and decent candidate, but couldn't possibly survive when the youth vote decided to cling to Sanders.

 

[Blader]

Why? What does this fainting and in broader terms her general health have to do with that? Nobody is saying "Hah, she cant win now, go Trump!!".

But that's exactly what some people here are saying.
