Support NeoGAF

[soco]

The denial continued in subsequent pages, they just deflected any concerned posters by labeling them as "troll concerned" or throwing out random whataboutisms with Trump

FWIW, that's every presidential election. Shit like this happens every four years.

Apparently, is hypohidrosis. Hillary literally doesn't sweat, which leads to an increase in possible heat strokes or hot-flashes:
She jokes in an interview to BuzzFeed from last year that the weirdest fact about her is that she doesn't sweat. She later jokes that it is because she's a robot.

Hillary doesn't need a medical condition to suddenly feel weak because of an hour and a half in the sun, but this is probably what the campaign will go with and will turn it into a fun fact.

EDIT: My aunt's former boyfriend had a similar condition. He literally sweated only on one side of his body, lol.

This is really interesting. That explains a lot to me. Even if 80 degrees ain't hot, it probably gets up there if you have no way to regulate your body temp.

Clinton is a robot confirmed (jump to 0:20).

Wait a minute.

Doesn't sweat?

Metal bits falling out of her pants?

We've been bamboozled. She isn't a lizard. Its clear she's a robot!

 

[KingBroly]

You are basically saying that because she got overheated she is somehow potentially not fit for the job. You know how ridiculous that sounds?



Nod, just trying to show how people can faint from a plethora of reasons and it doesn't necessarily mean you have a serious medical condition.

Just from the one angle on the video, it seems pretty serious. I think if it were minor we would have heard by now what it was.

 

[stonesak]

Damn, she had to be practically dragged into her car? Yikes.

 

[DpadD]

No problem. Judging by some of your posts, yeah I can imagine it gets confusing up there sometimes.

What posts imparticular?

Very curious actually.

 

[Brannon]

So Hillary's greatest power is also her greatest weakness? What is this election?

 

[Alucrid]

Wait a minute.

Doesn't sweat?

We've been bamboozled. She isn't a lizard. Its clear she's a robot!

i don't see how you've been bamboozled when she literally said that she was a robot a year ago

 

[ishibear]

K so she doesn't sweat. There's your answer folks.

 

[Already Torn]

What posts imparticular?

Very curious actually.

Imparticular

Just from the one angle on the video, it seems pretty serious. I think if it were minor we would have heard by now what it was.

Looks like overheating, which makes sense because she doesn't sweat. It's not a brain aneurism.

Anytime someone loses consciousness it looks scary as shit. They did...they said she got overheated, robots do that all the time.

 

[ahoyhoy]

K so she doesn't sweat. There's your answer folks.

Lol. She should use this when asked about it.

"You won't see me sweating when I go one on one with Putin!"

 

[FunnyBunny]

shit happens when you get older guys

relax

There are two issues here being debated.

The first is Clinton's overall health. I'm not worried about that. Yes, she's at an age where the body begins to break down in specific ways. But she's fit to serve in my opinion.

The other is the press, voter, and Trump campaign response. This is where I can't “relax.” A presidential candidate being propped up against a metal pole, Weekend at Bernie's-style, and collapsing while being placed into a van would become an issue for any candidate.

I'm not sure why so many people believe this won't impact the campaign. It will. It may be small and short-lived, but it will resonate in some way, shape, or form.

 

[DpadD]

the last three

What exactly is wrong about them to the point where you would question my intelligence?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Well imparticular the one where you seemingly questioned your own intelligence.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Probably because every single incident like this brings Trump closer to presidency. He must be trying so hard to hide his joy right now, this is great for him.

And this is the root of a lot of GAFers here indignant responses. They feel like they must play damage control because anything "negative" happening with Clinton would be good for Trump. Some of the dismissive responses are basically "Well, we all cough for 4 minutes and faint what's the big deal!?" and its quite comical, and I think even Hilary fans will laugh about this in January when Hilary is sworn in.

 

[ishibear]

Lol. She should use this when asked about it.

Oh ho ho 😄

Oh boy.

Alright so yeah, you got nothing.

+1. Nothing else to say here.

this is the kind of twist I'd expect out of an ace attorney game

OBJECTION! hillary couldn't have killed benjamin ghazi because the handle of the murder weapon was coated in sweat!

 

[Crimson_Fate]

shit happens when you get older guys

relax

Exactly... with all her previous concussions she'll forget this ever happened in a few days!

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Oh boy.

Alright so yeah, you got nothing.

Man you're quick.

 

[Already Torn]

Oh boy.

Alright so yeah, you got nothing.

It's the vibe your posts give off. It's hard to articulate the specifics.

 

[The Beard]

Lol. She should use this when asked about it.

"You won't see me sweating when I go one on one with Putin!"

"I'll probably black out, but I won't sweat."

 

[burntchomsky]

Haven't read the entire thread so apologies if this has already been posted. Have you guys seen this video, which zooms in on a piece of metal falling out of her pant leg as she walks? Someone in the youtube comments says that he thinks it is a catheter pin, then someone else links here, the picture at which possibly corroborates that.

No matter what, it's just speculation, but it certainly is not a normal thing (at least in my experience) for a piece of metal to fall down through a pant leg, and it does require some sort of explanation.

 

[DpadD]

Then it's probably not a polite thing to make unsubstantiated claims about someone without being able to articulate why.

Hey that's a legitimate evolutionary trait.

It's not intentional though, when things like this happen you will almost always deny it, especially in a case like this where there was little information. Indignation only really occurs once you've found out all the information which hasn't really happened yet.

 

[Arrowgigantic]

Cadets at West Point have to be coached on how not to faint during the parts of a parade where you stand still for long periods of time, around thirty minutes. You usually get one or two that fall out anyway. These are athletic college age kids.

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

This is just getting ghoulish and weird now.

Agreed, and I'm sorry to go there, but this is taking on a sexist tone.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

It's Trump supporter conspiracy theories. Ghoulish and weird would be an improvement.

 

[Sianos]

I can help articulate why! And I did!

"why did the secret service not have an open emotional reaction to hillary having a fainting spell?! it's almost as if they have plans in place to protect the people under their protection!"

come on now

Admit it, that was a silly thing to say about the SECRET SERVICE being unsurprisingly PREPARED FOR BAD THINGS TO HAPPEN.

Off-topic, but I just noticed some of the replies to that tweet are from people with "Deplorable" attached to their name. Have they started wearing it as some sort of badge now? lol

Definitely makes it a whole lot easier to ignore their posts that's for sure. So I guess that's kind of a good thing? Aside from actually admitting their ignorance?

 

[SRTtoZ]

Overheated? Its beautiful today. 70s and breezy. Damn they dragged her into that van like Bernie Lomax.

 

[buttery fistful]

man just get this election over with, can't take this rollercoaster anymore

I mean, it's pretty easy to scoff something off when barely anything of note happened.
No really. It's like none of you have ever seen a person fal ill or something, it's embarrassing.

 

[The Beard]

Agreed, and I'm sorry to go there, but this is taking on a sexist tone.

How so?

This would be news worthy for any presidential candidate, especially so close to election time.

I went back and looked at the original, can't believe that clink wasn't a sound effect that was added.

totally forgot it was today

Now this is where the commentary on this story heads into cuckoo land. It could be absolutely anything, why would it be a catheter pin? I already know the answer though, because it would be more embarrassing.

 

[Crayons]

relax

well, if your hopped up on opiate painkillers when you're old, shit actually happens a lot less often than you'd think

 

[minor effort]

My guess is over the next week we'll get plenty of "I've fainted before and lived to tell the tale" stories from many prominent people.

Fainting: It's More Common Than You Think.

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

How so?

This would be news worthy for any presidential candidate, especially so close to election time.

You did note what that was in response to, yes?

Catheters, really.

She is weak, frail, faints, doesn't smile, and now potentially has a catheter pin falling out of her pants.

 

[Eusis]

Bush Senior vomited on the Japanese prime minister and fainted. He's 92 now.

So you're saying this is normal behavior for secret immortals.

 

[Mental Atrophy]

That's not heat related, though, but circulation related.

I actually had no idea this was a thing. I can understand people getting heat strokes even in milder temperatures due to this.
