Good lord, I peeked over to /r/politics' front page and it's literally dozens of links pertaining to Hillary fainting.

I understand the explosion of interest. In the vacuum of attention, something like this is bound to get bandied about. Speaking 100% as a non-medical professional, and as a young man in the prime of his life who exercises and runs regularly, I've had light headed and near-fainting episodes just from squatting for a while and getting up quickly. If she has pneumonia and it's almost 90 degrees out, I wouldn't be surprised if she'd gotten faint.

That said, it's pretty remarkable that we're separated by naught but a heartbeat from a Trump presidency.

well it's a thing now because her doc says she has pneumonia. At her age, that is not a trivial matter. This isnt good for her campaign at all.

You're not lying. It's a massive effort on my part to not get distressed. Though if I think about it, it's not like anything has changed in regards to things I can influence to change the outcome of this election.
