This
is good journalism compared with the nonsense we get fed by western
corporate media.
The
Democratic nominee dogged by rumors of her deteriorating health after
footage emerged of her coughing and gasping for air for nearly five
minutes and suffering what seems like a seizure had another ‘medical
episode’ on Sunday
11
September, 2016
Hillary
Clinton nearly collapsed on Sunday morning abruptly being swept
away from a Ground Zero ceremony to commemorate the 15th
anniversary of 9/11 with a half dozen staffers holding her
up to prevent her from slamming head first into the
pavement as she was dragged into a black van.
The video, posted on Twitter, shows the former Secretary of State wobbling back and forth almost uncontrollably reminiscent of the notorious seizure footage in which Hillary Clinton suffered uncontrolled spasms for 30 seconds in front of a pool of press reporters, leading to a horrified look on one AP journalist’s face, before regaining her wits and being shuffled off by staffers – an incident that has gone viral, but went unreported at the time.

Failing to stay
on two feet at the 9/11 memorial service will be hard
for the Clinton campaign to downplay coming at a time
when Democrats are already clamoring for Bernie Sanders to come
back into the fold after Hillary’s statements to wealthy
donors discarding millions of Americans as “irredeemable”
and what she calls a "basket of deplorables"
highlighting what her opponents say is her elitist views.
It now
raises the question whether Democrats have a Plan B should Clinton be
unable to fulfill her campaign duties with Hillary’s
running mate Tim Kaine likely lacking the star power necessary
to fend off the insurgent bid of bombastic billionaire
Donald Trump. Many Americans are also left to ask whether a vote
for Hillary Clinton may ultimately be a decision to make
the relatively unknown Kaine the nation’s Commander-in-Chief.
Highlighting the chaos in Democratic Party circles is a
statement by Bakari Sellers, a Hillary Clinton surrogate and CNN
political contributor who openly said "Does she need to prove
more [medical records]? That is a legitimate question to ask."
Political reporter for Time Magazine reports that the former
Secretary of State will be temporarily removing herself from the
campaign trail in light of the most recent incident and
returning home to Chappaqua after being rushed to her
daughter Chelsea’s apartment following the incident.
That his
Trade Policies Left Unemployed Although Clinton emerged saying that
she "feels great" and her campaign has gone into damage
control mode suggesting that the incident was merely a bout
of dehydration, Hillary may soon be fending off calls
by her own party to drop out of the race leaving the
door wide open for either Bernie Sanders or Joe Biden to replace
her.
Democratic Party bylaws stipulate that in the event that a
presidential nominee drops out due to health related or
other reasons, a special meeting would be called by the
chairperson to find a proper replacement. It is also possible
that Congress could move to delay Election Day in the event
that the decision occurs too close to November 8.
To date, a
nominee for a major party has never withdrawn or died prior
to an American election with the closest historical
corollary being Vice President James Sherman who died of kidney
disease six days before the 1912 election – his name remained
on the ballot and the election proceeded. Watching the video
below, it is hard to know whether or not the Democratic nominee
may be the first to bow out in history.
