Trump has promised a beautiful wall and said he'll be hard on illegal immigrants. I don't know any of Hillary's policies from the news I've read over here. In fact I know more about Sanders.

I made the mistake of looking at the campaign websites of HRC and Trump as I had no idea what either of them stood for.

Brief summary:

Trump - 20% good sensible conservative stuff, 80% barking.

HRC - a ragbag of promises of taxpayers' money to be handed out to any Left-leaning special interest group big enough to have a Facebook page.

It's all just too depressing.

As someone said, its the choice between ultra human rights lawyer cherie blair and jeremy kyle.

So Hillary has released a medical check up info letter suggesting the pneumonia isn't viral, but mild bacterial and non contagious. When did anyone here with a mild bacterial infection that allowed you to get dressed up, go out to an event like the 9/11 memorial, and look pretty normal to all and sundry (ie not death warmed up!) suddenly get afflicted so badly you lose the ability to walk, stand or indeed keep hold of all the parts of your bionic legs?

Mild Pneumonia caused that..? My arse.

I think she is a coke addict and needed a hit (hence the withdrawal symptoms at the memorial and why she was all right after leaving her Daughters place a few hours later).

Isn't pneumonia usually a symptom of some other underlying cause?

Dehydration can hit you pretty fast. If she hadn't eaten, and was dehydrated, even younger people can drop pretty quickly.

I was at a meeting in Milan the other week. 32c in the office and humid. Two colleagues nearly fainted - went wobbly and had to lie down/head between the knees. And we hadn't even been out the night before!

She has medical staff accompanying her everywhere, has fainted from 'dehydration' in the past, so you'd expect them to be keeping a very close eye on her hydration.

Also, she was the Senator for New York for 8 years, so she should be familiar with the weather, and it was not a particularly warm (24-26C) day on 11th Sept when she fainted.

The dehydration excuse doesn't wash IMO.

My wife has has pneumonia and she certainly didn't lose the ability to walk or stand when she had it. The symptoms that Clinton displayed do not match what I have seen.

AT this point I assume it's case of the smallest admission being seen as damaging and they're looking at the calendar and hoping they can get through two months and change the issue. I'd be surprised if she has something catastrophically wrong with her but I'll bet there's something even if it's not what people think they see which is enough for them to consider withholding is better than releasing.

The problem is this.

There is clearly something wrong. We don't know what it is, but healthy people don't need to be supported at random intervals, and pneumonia doesn't wash - it has been going on too long. We don't know what the problem is, but it is there.

At the same time, the idea that she is seriously ill is gaining huge traction. Whether founded or not, it is damaging her campaign.

Now, if she has something wrong with her that does not affect her mental capacity - come clean about it. FDR had Polio, so what. If she came out and said, yep, I've got a neurological condition affecting my legs, then there would probably be sympathy, and she could probably conduct the rest of the campaign in a wheelchair and go on to win.

So one has to assume that the information is not being divulged because it is worse (or at least equal) to the the rumours that are gaining traction. I know someone with early Parkinsons, and it does look a hell of a lot like it - occasional problems with movement and concentration, but perfectly lucid in between.

They need to come clean, because if she falls over in a major way (say in a debate) it will all be over. You can bet your last dollar that Trump is being briefed on everything he can do to trigger an episode.

How a nation of 300 million people managed to select this pair of roaches as their potential leaders is beyond me.

Your last sentence speaks volumes, this is crazy

It also calls into question her judgement, if as she said, refused basic medial advice, that isn't a good trait for the leader of the free world.

Something more serious is up.

Without knowing anything else, the way the team all immediately formed a human shield to prevent people seeing what happened tells me they know she is ill and have been trained to act accordingly.

Quite. The secret service will be trained to do this for any candidate of any age.

Highly trained enough to know that whatever unknown, medical condition affected her didn't need a trip to hospital?

Probably the media and their long lenses looking to make mileage out of anything unusual.

They don't just react to threats.

I've had it a few times, whatever it is she has it's not Pneumonia.
