Pneumonia is a non issue - especially for someone who is privileged enough to have the best healthcare that money can buy. Of course the right will make a big issue out of it because they don't have any real issues and it will be attributed to her innate secrecy. Yesterday was hot and muggy and the ceremony was packed. I wasn't there and just seeing it made me sick. So I can only imagine what it must have been like for someone who was genuinely ill. It's just another blip that she'll have to ride out. Meanwhile there are real issues that need to be discussed... hopefully her campaign will redirect the focus.

I really don't understand why the "half of a basket of deplorables" comments that Hillary stated causing the alt-right to go ballistic. A quick perusal of Breitbart.com or Gateway Pundit's comment section will show the statement to be correct. I guess the truth must hurt.
Now if Hillary stated "all," I can see the backlash as being legitimate.
Here's some Preparation H for those butthurt Trump supporters. If you live by your bigotry, racism, sexism and misogyny; you'll die by your bigotry, racism, sexism, and misogyny.
Here is MY evidence of what Hillary stated is true:
The Trump campaign mischaracterizes the statement as an attack on all voters.
The questions should be does one's occupation or patriotic index determine if one is a bigot? of course not. Do any of the Trump surrogates condone or support bigotry? of course not. Then why deny they support the Trump campaign?
She obviously should have considered a better approach in characterizing Trump's bigotry.
ignorance is the enemy without equality there is no liberty America can survive bad policy, but not destruction of our Democratic institutions
The funny thing is she said only half of them have some sort of problem. Why would anyone be insulted by that? Either they are in the half that is deplorable, so she's just telling the truth about them, or they are in the other half who are not deplorable.
To be insulted, you would have to be a racist (etc.) and not think you are a racist? I'm not sure how that would work.
Mr Trump wished her a speedy recovery and said he would release the results of a medical examination he took over the past week, with "very, very specific numbers". "Hopefully they're going to be good. I think they're going to be good. I feel great," he told Fox News. So far Mr Trump has only released a note, in which his doctor declared that he would be "the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency".
No word on his psych profile...
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
I'm sure his psych profile would confound even the best psychologist in the world. There's more than just crazy in that orange shell that he calls a head.

That may be a mistake, apparently the Trump campaign was SEEKING the arsonists to run their Florida office. My mistake.

The Republicans appear to consist of three "baskets":
1. A large number of useful idiots
2. A fair number of psychopaths
3. A much smaller number of sociopaths who run the show
I suppose the same can be said of the Democrats, though the proportions may differ somewhat. .
