Why should she? Otherwise her doctor would have ordered her into the hospital.
“Oh my goodness, Anderson,” Clinton replied. “Compare everything you know about me with my opponent. I think it’s time he met the same level of disclosure that I have for years.”
That’s ridiculous! You expect the U.S. media to do its job? A media that includes people like Wolf Blitzer?
Good heavens, woman, everything you do is a big deal as far as the Trump campaign is concerned.
If you have to go to the bathroom, it’s a big deal to Trump.
Oh, and if you have to go to the bathroom in North Carolina, make sure you have your birth certificate with you. And your Secret Service detail won’t be able to accompany you unless they have their birth certificates.
Anderson Cooper is really a People Magazine celebrity journalist. He owes his position to his family. Just like Chris Cuomo and Luke Russert and Mika Brzinski. He is being cowed by the conspiracy theory rumors spread by the likes of Giuliani and Doctor Drew and demanding HRC adhere to higher standards which are evolving and being imposed as he speaks, while HO is still skating on the letter of his family prescription dispenser quack.
I think what’s more sick is how the news has latched onto this to make their case that being ill but soldiering on means she’s not trustworthy.
If it had been a man here, they certainly would have openly admired his perseverance and willpower. Hell, “liberal” media would have given Trump a gold star.
With all the silly stupid newly minted Internet Armchair MDs that have popped up diagnosing her , I don’t blame her one fucking bit for keeping it close to her vest. I think she’s like me and many other women who when they have a job to do they can’t let an illness stop them. You just keep going and going. I’m sure she thought she could get through the day without falling out.
Trump would have asked for another deferment.
And I almost hate to bring this up, but when Wolf actually makes an effort to ask questions of Pence last night and is stiff armed each and every time…he cohorts on CNN proceed to gush over Pence for being so manly in refusing to answer even simple questions.
That’s right up there with a group of cops swooning over how many a bank robber is because he gun downed two of their fellow officers.
And the NYT this morning…well…I have no words
But by all means, NYT…make your headlines all about how Hillary is going to drop dead any moment., with only praise for Trump on the front page.
Vile and useless grey lady.
Women always have to meet higher standards than men competing for the same job. Even when she is elected, she will still have to meet higher standards than any male president ever has. It’s going to take something special and spectacular to change that.
If she did not think that “pneumonia was going to be that big of a deal” then why did she not release it?
And when ask about the non-discloure confirming “the suspicion to some voters that you’re not transparent or trustworthy,” she deflected with “Oh my goodness, Anderson” and then talked about Trump.
She doesn’t get it. And she is sliding in polls because of that.
Because people work when they’re sick all the time. Politicians do it. People do it. It ISNT that big of a deal…except if you’re HRC.
No, it is a big deal if you’re running for President.
Getting a cold? Please. It’s only a big deal if your opponent and the media are smearing you and saying you have Parkinson’s or you’re essentially dying. People get colds. People work while they have colds.
This is just ridiculous.
ETA: you know, I really can’t get over this shit. How is getting sick and going to work a campaign-ender. I’m continually flabbergasted by this country and it’s sexist bullshit
What doesn’t she get?
That the MSM is shitting it’s pants about a the most common comorbidity with seasonal allergies in patients over the age of 50 and that’s the dumbest pants wetting of the media since… Well, ever?
All while actual stories of “Everything is legal” in war, violence against protesters, and hate speech is flowing out of the opposition side and all the MSM can muster about it is" It was an unforced error for Hillary to call them out on it"?..
No Hillary get’s it! The Media is the one who needs to pull their head out of their collective asses!
Why are the conservative men so upset about HRC getting sick? Toughing it out totally sounds like something a guy would do
except that guys are more likely to feed the trolls. Not naming names @georgeh
Just sayin’
HRC can recover from pneumonia a lot easier than HO could recover from Alzheimers. HO’s daddy came down with it when he was 70ish … oh ish!
Such complete and total bullsh*t.
Trump is caught red handed bribing the Attorney General of Florida, out of his ‘charity’ no less, paying off an official with other people’s money, gets caught by the IRS, pays the fine and then illegally pays the charity back out of his own pocket … but what gets front page news for 48 hours? What disqualifies someone for President??? A 68 yr old going to the 9/11 memorial with a mild case of pneumonia. The press is fucking useless.
Donald? Is that you?
Someone goes to an important even a bit sick and feels kind of crappy.
Normal times: Hope they feel better
Bizarro world: CLINTON CAMP IN TROUBLE
Pneumonia is not a “cold.” And the older you get, the more serious (and potentially fatal) it becomes.
She should have asked me. I had pneumonia when I was a lot younger than she is today, and it had me laid out for a week. She must be one tough lady to deal with it as she has.
