Hillary Faints: Here is the Spin

Today Hillary Clinton fainted today at the September 11th Memorial event in New York and had to leave early. Her campaign declared she was "overheated". The temperature was somewhere between 77 and 82 degrees by different accounts in NYC at Ground Zero

Pneumonia UPDATE: The Clinton campaign has stated that Hillary has been dealing with pneumonia all weekend. That changes nothing.

"If a potential president is sick, the public has a right to know. That's just the way this works. Clinton's doctor also says she recommended she change her schedule. She's due in CA and NV in the coming days, no word on changes." h/t @gdebenedetti

Any chance we can see her calendar post diagnosis?

Why keep that from us unless you are afraid of her health being questioned? Why hide that unless you yourself fear her fitness? What are you thinking? Now it is worse. And your credibility is shot. To quote Michael Moore: " Campaign kept it hidden Fri/Sat/Sun. No wonder the crazies get traction. Dems are pros at losing elections." Are we supposed to believe that she will be less dishonest about her health when she has infinitely more power to obfuscate the truth? Sorry Michael. But that makes the crazies less crazy looking. She sacrificed her credibility for her public health perception. Nothing shameful about pneumonia. All the talking spin still applies. What else is she hiding should be the next question. Add in brave and sacrifice the spin cycle-SK

Why Did it Happen?

Here is a likely way it will be spun That is, if it hasn’t been already. The concepts are just obvious to us. So here is the answer key before it happens:

Talking Points for Hillary Clinton Press Coverage

Hillary, The Compassionate Leader
- Today is the anniversary of one of the most tragic events in our country’s history
- It is also the 4th anniversary of the Benghazi Attack.
- She was overcome with emotion for a brief moment
- She did not wish to be a distraction to the days purpose
The Benghazi Attack weighs heavily on her mind (only if brought up)
- Unjustified attacks on her person
- No sane person would not feel remorse having known the people and those families who died
- She takes her responsibilities seriously and her fault is self blame for not being able to do more
Redirect off of “Health” to “Heart”
- Strong Woman with a heart
- Hint at double standard on “emotional= unstable” concerns
- Physical health fine. And a matter of public record

The MSM is Confused

The main news outlets from which we consume our information are a bit confused. Or maybe their audience is.

WaPo

Can we just stop talking about Hillary Clinton’s health now?- 9/6
Hillary Clinton’s health just became a real issue in the presidential campaign- 9/11

CNN

On Aug 24th, CNN published this: The New Birthers: Debunking the Hillary Clinton health Conspiracy. Today after Hillary’s event at the 9/11 memorial, that story rested atop their front page as one of their most popular stories.

If this story is really among the most popular on CNN then either:

CNN readership is biased and looking for a means of denial OR
Lacking anything fresh, the readers chose this looking for an update OR
It is not really the most popular story today.

Trump in a Landslide? Not So Fast

In a previous post our Banker friend outlandishly said "Trump in a landslide!" It would seem that way. But remember, aging reliever Joe Biden throws a mean knuckleball. All he has to do is close. And upon election he could step down and cede control to whoever his VP is at that time.
