You can't really say how McCain would have been. Being President is a lot more stressful than being a senator. And some say Reagan was showing signs of Alzheimer's while he was President (though some discredit that).

The rest haven't been tested. I personally think they'd be fine (Bernie and Biden have always come off as very healthy for their ages) but it is still a big risk to take at that age.

Could you imagine if Hillary did drop out (lbr, she won't - she'll have to literally die before that happens)? Being this close to having a woman president and then having it taken away in the home stretch?

edit: Can Hillary even be taken off the ballot at this point because of ballot access laws, etc? If something were to happen to her, wouldn't they just go by the line of succession after the election?

True, but that's what VP is for. And Alzheimer Reagan and pneumonia Hillary are still better than Trump and especially that idiot called George W. Bush.

Yeah. People will go in and vote for her. Kaine would become president by default. But announcing that b4 election could suppress turnout. Hell it may even be a landslide because the Trump threat would really be real at that point.

Hmm sources are saying Trump will respect Hillary's health. A reverse warholian experience...

Pneumonia isn't going to make Hillary withdraw herself even being held hostage would not make her budge Nothing would.

If he calls her out to reveal her medical records, then he'll face pressure to release his too. He's gonna stay away from that. If it wasn't for that, then he'd be going all-out, talking about how she had another stroke yadda yadda yadda

Most people try to hide their ignorance, but if you've got it flaunt it.

nnn @ people thinking Hillary will drop out.

Hillary is being kept alive by her sheer desire to be president. An extreme Ruth Bader Ginsburg experience.

Screaming at Cherilyn taking the credit for getting Hillary sick.


@cher: Had Pneumonia &KNOW ITS FKN ROUGH‼️HILLARY'S TOUGH AS A MARINE.I WAS SO AFRAID I GAVE HER COUGH.I LOVE & RESPECT HER.SHES STRONG ENOUGH💪🏻4ME

Her campaign has been sloppy since the convention.

She let Trump suck up all the oxygen in August and was MIA because of fundraisers. She has more fundraisers scheduled this month than rallies. Like, if you're accused of being an insider in the pockets of the elite, why expend so much energy on fundraisers? She did this to the detriment of her own personal health and it's not a good look.

They're discussing this on CNN right now

She NEEDS to get back to doing public events and rallies

NOT CHER TAKING THE BULLET.

Also, I'm also a little bit concerned with the fundraisers. She's already more than outspending Trump in ads/battleground state offices. I mean, I guess she's building a war chest for the home stretch, but I wish there was more of a ground game right now. Guess she's waiting until after the debates though.

1) First: Hillary has too many fundraisers. Then: Ugh the gap is closing. Invest in more ads and offices.

2) First: Ugh Hillary is not campaigning heavily. Then: She needs to sit in and rest for a few days. Full recovery now.

3) First: Trump is getting all the attention. Hillary is too quiet. Then: YAS Hillary. Stay quiet. Trump is digging a whole he can't get out off.

Last week was one of the best weeks of the GE for her. She has pneumonia people. I'd rather her take the next few weeks off before the debate than be out in public every day getting worse.

She's taking Mon/Tues off. She'll be on Ellen and a rally in Nevada on Wednesday. And that's fine because Obama is campaigning on Tuesday.

He has to, attacking someone's illness is a losing proposition and also brings focus to his own lack of health transparency. Hell, I expect him to tweet her well-wishes at some point.

Idk why people are saying last week was bad for her. It was pretty good for her after the CIC forum. Even #BasketOfDeplorables wasn't really a "gaffe." There's a reason all the polls released over the last two days showed Trump stagnating.

[Benzene]

Hillary canceled her events for Mon/Tues, guaranteeing that her health is THE story for at least one more day. Fabulous.

Make no mistake, her team botched the way they revealed the info. Waiting for HOURS after the event was a mistake.

[King Maxx]

I'm not mad tho. The media is scum so I'm not surprised by how they'll spin this.

I doubt any serious voter will go "Oh Hillary has pneumonia. Let me vote for the man I'm skeptical about"

Oh I agree, it's just annoying because the great segue into attacks about Trump's racism has been ruined. Hopefully Obama can salvage it somewhat on Tuesday.

I'm sad too. I wonder if her Ellen appearance is postponed. But I'm not going to cave in because she's sick. She's human.

The best thing tho is that she actually showed up. Do you realize the lashings she would've gotten if she didn't attend the 9/11 memorial?

If Hillary was to drop out, Tim Kaine would get the spot and his VP would Elizabeth Warren.

Two queens are heading to the White House in either scenario.

I think that Hillary should have called Trump's platform "deplorable" rather than his supporters. She could have easily made the argument about his platform being racist, sexist, homophobic, etc, and then said something like, "I'm not saying that Trump's supporters or Republicans are prejudiced, but by supporting Trump and his platform you are complicit in the promotion and perpetuation of these prejudices whether you agree or not."

Should have attacked the politics, not the people.

No, you gotta attack the people so undecideds will realize they don't want to be a part of that group of people

And now they're saying they're still on but Hillary will be attending, via teleconference
