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

We want a DNA test ... Barking like a dog, doesn't sweat... this all could have been avoided with the proper amount of panting.

 

[B4s5C]

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

Don't lock the knees.

They also teach it in marching band.

 

[The Beard]

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

Catheters, really.

Sorry, I'm not following. I have very little knowledge of catheters, but I know they aren't exclusively for females.

 

[Permanently A]

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.

mods/OP this needs to be added to op since it basically puts a kibosh on the weather debate

 

[Clockwork]

Don't lock the knees.

They also teach it in marching band.

And in choir as well.

I can just hear Trump now. "You know, it's hot in DC, folks. It's hot. Believe me. You don't want someone *Trump face here* fainting and wilting when it gets hot. And it gets hot in DC. Hot hot hot. Crooked Hillary can't even stand up with her crooked legs when it gets a little warm in New York City. Sad!"

 

[Bubba_Sparks]

The metal thing seemingly falling out her pant leg is pretty strange. Though you can't really tell if it's coming from her pants, or something she was holding in her hand.

I just noticed they were leaning her against the pole.

I don't know, this doesn't look like fainting to me.

According to Google the definition of fainting is sudden loss of consciousness. I am not a medical professional, but it has always been my understanding that fainting happens quick and doesn't last long to faint. This looks more serious than it seems.

 

[DpadD]

I can help articulate why! And I did!



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

It looked weird to me. Then again, I've never seen a politician protected by the SS faint on camera, so perhaps next time it will seem less weird.

If someone I was protecting was starting to fall over, my first instinct would be to look at them to assess the situation, but hey I'm no SS.

I don't think that's grounds to question my intelligence.

I also didn't realize she was propped up against a pole... So at this point they were well aware of something being wrong with her, that makes a lot more sense now.

Looks like fainting to me, I've seen people faint and have fainted myself, but I'm no professional either.

I'm not a supporter of Hillary but the City is typically about 4-5 degrees hotter then the surrounding area so until you know where they took that temperature I wouldn't discount it.

The whole thing is creepy. Look at them trying to act like nothing is wrong. God for bid you show some panic.

My best friend from high school fainted in class a couple times. It turned out he hadn't eaten much for a couple days prior. It wasn't a "lights on, lights off" type of event. You could see him getting light headed and start to wobble right before.

Aren't secret service agents trained not to panic and freak out?

? They're Secret Service.

 

[Bronetta]

Hilary collapsing is an allegory for the collapse of America when one of these clowns inevitably gets elected.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

If she has a condition which prevents her from sweating, then I think this is infinitely easier to deal with and address. Should just cite that as the issue combined with the weather and heavy clothing.

 

[Paches]

Freaking out doesn't solve anything.

"none of you showed any panic and did your jobs far too well, you're all fired!"

so brave and deep

Its the secret service. If anyone panicked they would get hella FIRED.

 

[Plum]

That's their job, you know. Would you really want the Secret Service, the last line of defense between Presidential hopefuls and death, to be panicking at the slightest hint of danger?

 

[echoshifting]

Panic? If I were her and one of these guys had panicked over a mundane dizzy/fainting spell, I wouldn't want them on my detail anymore.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

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.

 

[diablos991]

Maybe that flegm water she swallowed caught up with her?

 

[Permanently A]

it is literally their jobs not to panic

 

[chancellor]

Everyone can feel unwell at times, I don't see how this individual incident would be of concern unless there was a pattern of events that this was part of.

My only concern is how the Trump campaign will use it.

 

[The Beard]

Surely they can transport her around in an air-conditioned bubble, or something.

I've fainted before and I'm alive. It was hot, but not super hot, and there were lots of people around and lots of activity and I didn't drink enough water. Oops!

 

[royalan]

Yep, just what everyone being guarded by Secret Service wants to see: them panicking.

 

[Arrowgigantic]

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

Yeah, but who's to say that wasn't a contributing factor? Even when you keep your knees unlocked, it can still be pretty hard on your body standing still for a long time.

 

[Mad Season]

Too many coincidences now. She's sick

Saying she's sick means nothing without a diagnosis.

shit happens when you get older guys

relax

This makes no sense

Wouldn't it be dizziness then fainting?

Come again?

From here

The medical term for fainting is syncope. Fainting is a sudden loss of consciousness, usually temporary and typically caused by a lack of oxygen in the brain. The brain oxygen deprivation has many possible causes, including hypotension (low blood pressure).

Don't eat me alive please. I'm just saying, it looks more serious than it seems. She could barely walk, she was leaning against that structure, looked bad. Hopefully she's okay though.

 

[Dirca]

I've fainted before and I'm alive. It was hot, but not super hot, and there were lots of people around and lots of activity and I didn't drink enough water. Oops!

The only difference is that you weren't running for POTUS or won't be in other high pressure uncomfortable situations with other world leaders, or making speeches in other hotter parts of the world.

 

[Arrowgigantic]

George Bush Sr. was just sitting there and up and puked on a Japanese Prime Minister, but other than the diplomatic embarrassment/hilariousness it was no big deal.

I loved the monkey they trained to imitate Bush. That shit was hysterical

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Ohhh fuck.

This is REALLY REALLY REALLYYYYY BAD.

 

[TheChocoboCadet]

Everyone on GAF seems to have become a doctor today.

The fact of the matter is, none of us knows what fully happened, why it happened, or whether this is serious. It is absolutely something to be concerned about though until we know more, and an actual diagnosis by the doctor who treated her today is the only thing that will clear things up.

 

[SDCowboy]

Ohhh fuck.

Some of these posts are just, well, really really really bad.

 

[DerZuhälter]

It's all good. We flashed the bios and rebooted her.

 

[Wilsongt]

Man, I wonder how Republicans acted during FDR's presidency since he was in a wheelchair.

Clearly you must be a Trump Supporter, Bernie Bro, or a concern troll.

Again, there is a vast difference between being concerned and saying:

She isn't viable, she is dead, she is dying, THIS IS REALLLLY BADD, etc.

Clearly you must be a Trump Supporter, Bernie Bro, or a concern troll.

Well you were one of the individuals who diagnosed her from a video.

 

[minor effort]

The only difference is that you weren't running for POTUS or won't be in other high pressure uncomfortable situations with other world leaders, or making speeches in other hotter parts of the world.

Well, given that it's either a heat-sensitve person like Clinton in these high pressure, uncomfortable situations with other world leaders, or Trump in these high pressure, uncomfortable situations with other world leaders, this doesn't really change my vote.

A fainting spell aside, I still trust Clinton in situations of tense urgency far more than Donald Trump.

 

[Zimbardo]

not looking good for Hillary. don't think i could vote for her ...too much uncertainty.

too bad the Democrats rigged the primaries in her favor ...Bernie would have been so much better.

As far as we know, it was a mild fainting spell, and she wasn't treated by a doctor.

I'm by no means a doctor but that video does not look good at all. She is full on collapsing
