    Even as the Hillary Clinton campaign does everything in its power to make it go away, the issue of the Democrat nominee’s health just keeps coming up. And it’s not just some “vast alt-right conspiracy” buzz — or even statements from an increasing number of doctors who’ve voiced concerns — that’s fueling the raging fire. It’s Hillary’s own behavior fueling it — things that we can all see and hear with our own eyes, like the massive coughing fits she had last week on the trail in Ohio.

    Now, just this morning, we’re learning the woman who wishes to be commander in chief had a “medical episode” that required her to leave a 9/11 commemoration ceremony early, according to a law enforcement source who witnessed the event.

    What some candidates won't do to get sympathy votes!

    Look, folks; we better ALL of us be looking at those vice-presidential candidates.

    The democrats are only supporting Hillary for the gimmick. They can already claim success for the first black president being a democrat; they're pouring everything they can into being able to say they also had the first woman president.

    If she gets elected, she's going to step down for health reasons.

    So make sure you know what Kaine stands for, and whether you're willing to support him.

    On the other side, I predict Trump will be impeached within the first two years of his presidency. I'm usually wrong about these things, but if it happens, unlike Bill Clinton, Trump will have to resign or actually be found guilty. So make sure you know what Pence stands for, and whether you're willing to support him.

    I am not a great fan of Clinton, but remember, she is pushing 70. (She will turn 69 in October).

    As a card carrying member of that generation, and a bit older than she is, I can attest to coughing fits of my own. Am I terminal? Nope, just old.

    There have been times when I did not tolerate well the temperature changes going from an air conditioned environment to a hot, humid, sunny day. Am I terminal? Nope, just old.

    There have been times when I stepped down and my knees buckled or my legs refused to support me. Am I terminal? Nope. Just old.

    There are so many legitimate reasons to not support Clinton, why does the media think it is important to make mountains out of molehills?

    If she gets elected (big "if") and she dies or has to resign due to health reasons, we have a system to change the leadership. We, peacefully, swear in the Vice President. If, for some reason he cannot serve, we swear in the Speaker of the House, and so on.

    This is a non-issue folks. Let's focus on the real issues and not let the media distract us from being well informed voters.

    Its not a non issue. She has been suffering ever since she fell and had a concussion and seizures. She constantly has to be helped up stairs and has these dizzy/ needs help standing fits. There is something going on.

    Tom, the media will make mountains out of whatever makes the candidates look bad, because that drives ratings. I don't care what the media reports; I base my premise off of a gathered body of reports.

    And being well-informed means knowing the running mates and their postions on the issues.

    Clinton may well be totally fine — and I certainly hope she is. But we are 58 days away from choosing the person who will lead the country for the next four years, and she is one of the two candidates with a real chance of winning. Taking the Clinton team's word for it on her health — in light of the episode on Sunday morning — is no longer enough. Reasonable people can — and will — have real questions about her health.

    Are you terminal no, but should this health issue of yours, terminal or not, effect your qualifications to be President. Yep!

    Starting to wonder about her health. The coughing fits, which she claims are the result of an allergic reaction, are frequent and lengthy. And who treats an allergic reaction with a cough drop and a sip of water?

    The head shakes and falling down episodes are disturbing.

    And here's another angle:

    It's definitely not a non-issue.

    Asking the questions doesn't make it a conspiracy theory. It's concerning to me. No one wants her to be in ill health, but if she has an illness that will impede any activity - from taking care of a baby to running the country - it should not be glossed over.

    Hillary needs to take a rocking-chair and fill the role of grandma or something, she is not fit to be president. This is irresponsible of her.

    She is driven to be the first female president. Nothing else matters, especially the country.

    Now her campaign is saying she was diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday and ordered to rest by doctors. I wonder why it took 6 hours to release that statement? #Lying

    Trump is already 70 and appears to be in better shape than any other President of the 20th century. (George W. might have been the heathiest in the 21st). He pus himself on a demanding schedule that people decades younger may not have the stamina to endure.
    Boy have you ever got that wrong. The mainstream media has done everything in its power to avoid revealing Clinton's health problems. They have even called the concern from independent media merely a conspiracy theory.

    Listen, the Justice Department can now be called the Injustice Department. The FBI is corrupt. Hillary is a criminal many times over and will not be brought to justice under Obama's remaining months in office.

    So, the critical nature of Hillary's severe medical problems has to be front and center. She is not qualified because she is medically unfit. I harbor the notion that she will die before 2017.
    You are so right on so many topics. But on this one you are plainly tone-deaf TC.

    I do. I have allergies that cause my throat to close up which causes me to cough a lot. A drink of water and a Halls often helps - so much so that I keep a Halls and water on my nightstand for coughing fits at night. I'm not a sickly person but just have this one weakness. Sometimes it then triggers asthma but mostly it's just in my throat.

    OK. But if you were a multi-millionaire running for President and you make your living giving speeches, would you perhaps look for another treatment?

    I've had asthma since I was 10, and I've had pneumonia twice and there's no way some doctor would have wanted me to go stand in some 9-11 event in September two days after the diagnosis and I was over 40 years younger than 68 both times.

    I know sometimes pneumonia can be a complication of another disease, that could be the case here. Her cough sounded wet and shallow, not like an asthma cough.
