For public figures, perception can turn into reality. That's why I think the "sick Hillary" meme is a great one that needs to be propagandized over and over and over. I get the sense that, for once, a haymaker can be delivered here right to the Democrats' chin if we hammer on the health meme consistently.
Remember that for leaders in the media age, even the hint of physical weakness can be very bad for their public image. This was why Berlusconi always wore make up (true) and why almost all public figures change their appearance in one way or another (dyed hair, cosmetic surgery, etc.).
Even if Clinton does not have a major health problem, it still looks terrible for her image to be seen stumbling around like a warmed-over corpse, which is what she's been doing for many weeks now. Add to this her hissy fits, uncalibrated tone of her delivery, the temper tantrums, the arrogance, and all the rest, and what do you get?
You get a picture of a woman who is feeble, unstable, and unfit to be chief executive.
This is a legitimate story. In any case, we have to win this election. Too much is at stake to allow Clinton to gain the White House. Finally, it looks like Trump has some ammunition to bring to bear on Clinton. This health thing could be Trump's deus ex machina, as long as he uses it correctly. Trump might be able to pull this off after all, if he gets the right breaks. If he can do this, it will be the greatest "dark horse" candidate win since James K. Polk captured the White House in the 1840s.
He needs to be going full blast on the "Sick Hillary" meme. Now's the time to turn the amps up to 11.
Lots of excitement in "our" camp over this. Too much so, I think. It's not a knockout blow, unless there are even more serious visible health issues in the near future (possible but far from guaranteed). It will depress Hillary's support and be a factor in November, but Trump needs to continue to run a great campaign. Steady on to victory.

(Yes, these can go to 11).
On the otherhand attacking hillary full blast might elicit sympathy for her. The liberal mainstream is already playing the "stunning and brave" narrative when it comes to her health to insulate her from this line of attack. This has all the hallmarks of a trap.
If Trump makes a run on her and the mainstream media allies all claim simultaneously: "how can you bash a sick person who is doing her best to campaign while sick" and they flip the script...It might be regarded as a cheap shot and that's what Trump has to avoid.
What works now is all the social media pressure she's getting from guys like Cernovich. They are the ones trending topics and putting failure into the minds her of her handlers and biased media. It's a media guerilla war.
If she has pneumonia at 68 she shouldnt be walking. If she is out and about then its a lie or she has a bigger problem. She was diagnosed on Friday. I would consider the first debate in peril.
For those who haven't, people should go to dangerandplay and read the latest articles on Hillary's health. Cernovich suggests that it's something worse than pneumonia.
As mentioned in one of the articles, Hillary hugged a little child today. Pneumonia is contagious. Trump needs to hammer on this hard.
Either
1) She has pneumonia and endangered a child because she is contagious
2) She doesn't have pneumonia and her team lied.
She is in a catch-22. Trump needs to mention this every time he talks.
She has not got pneumonia or something much worse and it is one of the many illnesses affecting her.
They admitted she has it so going by their previous bare-faced lies to the world she has something much worse, almost certainly mental and deeply physical.
My brother had pneumonia, its a horrible feeling and I've come close to something like it. You cannot move much, your breathing is restricted and your lungs are full of fluids.
He was 23 and needed an ambulance. No childhood asthma or any other related illness. And they're trying to convince the world she has it? Bullshit.
Its just another diversion. They had to admit she was ill otherwise the internet and voters would have gone apeshit. With this they have deniability over their lies.
"Look we admitted she is ill! What more do you want?"
She's a SIF or that she got that nice dress a size too big. Her hair is nice, and her chest looks kinda big, but that is typical for bigger women. I would give a 4/10 WNB, but she is an internal specialist so that's 5/10 WB for being possibly useful for free top notch medical advice.
I wonder what Travesty would score her.
EDIT: Might need to revise the score to a 3/10 WNB.
My SIF radar was right. Too big for me and most of us.
^WNB: graceless, unexciting chick, with ugly cellulitis-loaded arms and legs. I bet Huma is not even jealous...
Anyway, world MSM is reporting that D. Trump said "I hope she gets well and gets back on the trail” but what Trump said is: "Something’s going on, but I just hope she gets well and gets back on the trail... (and Trump ironically adds) but the coughing fit was one week ago, I assume it was pneumonia also??". Not the same.

I've been saying this for the start. It is a bear trap the MSN will flip to make her look "brave" and "strong".
The last thing we want is people to feel sorry for HRC. She was digging her own grave just fine just being a corrupt peice of shit.

I may not have been all that enamoured with Scott Adam's commentary of late.
Yet I do recall him making the point that while being female, Hillary can garner sympathy or pity far more readily.
Those sentiments are not usually what compel people to actively vote.
The risk of her collapsing during a crisis would be a more distinct aspect to the average Joe, Jane or Jose's decision making.
Quote:Dyskinesias are uncontrollable involuntary movements particularly affecting some people with Parkinson's Disease (PD).
This video has been made available in order to widen the awareness of PD sufferers experiencing dyskinesia that blue lens glasses may provide a certain degree of relief for some sufferers.
This video was recorded under medical supervision whilst the person was having a UPDRS assessment in 2003.
Blue glasses do not work effectively for everyone however may be worth trying by anyone suffering with l-dopa induced dyskinesias.

She's not presently consuming a delicious craft beer, so Travesty would definitely give her a sturdy WB.
