And if they had come out ahead of time and said "Yes she was sick with a simple cold, here's the Cold's RNA to prove it too" then the issue would have been settled.

Though really it explains why she hasn't done as much since the convention, she wasn't laying low to let Trump hang herself, she was laying low because she was recovering.

When did she get sick and how long does it take to treat pneumonia? I doubt she was sick for even close to a majority of the time since the convention.

Unless she recovers quickly. That would prove her immune system is fully capable. I've had Pneumonia twice. First time was in the eight grade many years ago. Other time was in 2006. Took about seven to ten days to clear up in 2006 once it was diagnosed and treatment began. In the days leading up to the diagnosis I was really ill. Running for president and having this happen should actually garner her some sympathy for her past few days. Anyone who is in contact with so many random people such as a POTUS candidate could contract any number of contagious infections.

Nice grift he's got going. He's charging his own campaign through the nose for the use of Mar-a-lago and his other properties as well (which he didn't do back when he was paying for it himself which he doesn't do anymore). And also shoveling money to his kids and their businesses.

In short, he's out Palin'in Palin herself.

I wasn't going to say anything about the coincidence, but yeah. Sometimes it's funny how some people get sick. Disease contagion has been weaponized for centuries.

The number of real scandals about trump just keep piling up, yet the media spends hours talking about conspiracy theories and focusing only on events in Hillarys life that happened 20-40 years ago.

This is because Trump has access to Nikola Tesla's secret technology thanks to his uncle.

It can take weeks for pneumonia to clear up.

If it was a mild form of pneumonia she might not have even realized she had it... she could have thought it was a mild cough at first so who knows how long she could have been suffering from it. Really this could have gotten dangerous for her.

And apparently that's exactly what happened, they thought it was a cough and it turns out to be pneumonia.

Yes, your favorite anecdote. Also the times where he's lied to millions of people or said horrible, bigoted things or engaged in corruption and not been called out for it.

Given that it seems like she was still trying to do events and stuff, I doubt it's a super serious case. She'll probably be able to keep campaigning and whatnot, though she may relax her schedule slightly.
