Hillary Clinton was diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday

[applegrove]

and was on antibiotics. Doctor had advised rest but Hillary was keeping her schedule for the most part. CNN.That is what the cough was I guess. Walking pneumonia I have had. She's tough.

1. Where you get this?

8. See it.

12. Bizzaro World, huh. Amazing that I am glad she has pneumonia

[BumRushDaShow]

17. It really sounds like she was dehydrated

which would make sense given that diagnosis plus the awful humidity early this morning along the east coast. Anyone doing a Presidential campaign with the number of people they are coming into contact with constantly -over an extended period of time - makes it inevitable that you pick up some bug.

19. I'm sure. Did Trump say anything horrible about her in the meantime? Could

make him look like an even bigger asshole

[BumRushDaShow]

20. Not yet that I am aware of

Otherwise it probably would have been all over the internet and DU. I am sure that his lunatic campaign staff are thinking of something and gearing up on what they think will be a doozy... But then whatever they might try could be called out as being craven.

I did hear on the radio this afternoon that Obama has invited the congressional leadership to the White House for a meeting to break the fiscal year 2017 appropriations log jam. If they don't pass a continuing resolution by September 30th, then the government will shut down. It's possible that could grab a few news cycles...

3. It just broke on CNN

4. Almost killed my dad a couple years ago.

15. There are different kinds. She probably has walking pneumonia and your dad

might have had one of the more serious bacterial forms.

[BumRushDaShow]

5. Just saw a WaPO breaking

Yup - probably walking pneumonia. Yikes!

6. Well, people get pneumonia all the time but she needs to be careful

As much as I hate to say this, she needs to take it easy for a while. She has my vote regardless, and most will understand. Many a young and healthy person has been taken out by pneumonia, it is not to be trifled with. Thankfully it was caught in time. I'm glad they decided to release this information instead of letting speculation run rampant for several news cycles.

[BumRushDaShow]

10. Unfortunately, as I've seen posted on DU

there have been demands that "she get out there" and be seen. So she can't win either way.

[TheCowsCameHome]

9. So why was she out and about today?

Listen to your doctor, lady.

[mcar]

11. She would never has missed this memorial

Speaks to strength of purpose to me.

[ehrnst]

22. Absolutely. (nt)

[vdogg]

13. Unfortunately the media would've had a field day with the former NY senator

Missing the 15th anniversary of 9/11, and she knew this. The conspiracy theories would've been even worse.

[TheCowsCameHome]

14. So this was better?

I don't think so.

[BumRushDaShow]

18. As long as she hydrates and gets back up and running

I think she will be fine. Since she was Senator during 9/11, unfortunately she had to be there.

Notice you heard little about Mr. Manhattan's whereabouts or plans today considering his buildings were near ground zero.

[spooky3]

16. Exactly n/t

[ehrnst]

21. She had one thing on her agenda today.

And of course, she was not going to miss this event.

I absolutely understand why she did.

[book_worm]

23. She needs to take it easy prior to the first debate

She needs to be well for the debates and the final weeks of the campaign. Kaine, Bill, the Obama's, Biden, Bernie and Warren can pick up the the pace in her place.

[duncang]

24. The Iron Lady tell me she isn't tough enough.

Hope she gets well soon.
