Herein lies the bigger problem. At this point, almost no explanation from Clinton will be believed. Why should it be? After all, her ability to shamelessly lie about extremely important, extremely dangerous, and extremely delicate subjects is her modus operandi. Like the boy who cried wolf, why should we believe her "this time" ?

So why is Trump seemingly missing this opportunity and instead attacking the "basket of deplorables" gaffe by Clinton? (I used to believe the basket of deplorables comment was strategy, but in the wake of everything else it has become a gaffe) Why isn't he barging full speed ahead like a bull in a china shop, falling all over himself to pounce on her latest health episode as proof she doesn't have the strength and stamina?
The reason is two fold. One obvious and one not so obvious. The obvious reason is that it would be in bad taste, and quite frankly the situation doesn't need his help. In fact, if Trump were to jump onto it, many wobbly Clinton supporters might find that reason enough to defend her.
The less obvious reason is that the "basket of deplorables" statement becomes the excuse for wobbly Clinton supporters to pull away and undecideds to make the move. Nobody wants to admit that they would pull their support from Clinton because she might not be feeling well. But if it makes them otherwise uneasy they just use the "basket of deplorables" excuse to justify it. (further explanation here)

Every issue about Hillary comes with can we believe what she is saying this time, this version , this time, is it the truth, or only the current version of what passes as the truth when it comes to HER.
Anderson Cooper in a soft ball toss of a interview, tripped her up with this question, I am paraphrasing:
How often have you passed out/Fainted?
Hillary answer, she did not recall, really , she thought that that was a great answer, to not recall.

because her media surrogates will deem it sexist and shout him down. note the "power through it' meme they've started using.
the wagons were circled in her defense as soon as her campaign provided the approved talking points.

The U.S. Census Bureau today released new data on the economy, and the news is extremely good. Since we’re in the midst of a presidential race, it’s hard to avoid the question of how this will affect the choice voters make in November. But before we get to that, here’s what they report:
The U.S. Census Bureau announced today that real median household income increased by 5.2 percent between 2014 and 2015 while the official poverty rate decreased 1.2 percentage points. At the same time, the percentage of people without health insurance coverage decreased.
Median household income in the United States in 2015 was $56,516, an increase in real terms of 5.2 percent from the 2014 median income of $53,718. This is the first annual increase in median household income since 2007, the year before the most recent recession.
The nation’s official poverty rate in 2015 was 13.5 percent, with 43.1 million people in poverty, 3.5 million fewer than in 2014. The 1.2 percentage point decrease in the poverty rate from 2014 to 2015 represents the largest annual percentage point drop in poverty since 1999.
The percentage of people without health insurance coverage for the entire 2015 calendar year was 9.1 percent, down from 10.4 percent in 2014. The number of people without health insurance declined to 29.0 million from 33.0 million over the period.
Democrats are positively ecstatic about this.
"So Clinton avoided the Emergency Room (likely on several occasions) in order to conceal medical issues from the Press. Much like (if you believe the explanation) she caught pneumonia and didn't bother to inform anyone."
I still don't think she's sick.
But if she is sure hope she has an advance directive.....
...if she's seizing up as much as Willy Jeff says (smiling about it), I'd be very concerned, lol.
2015 was $56,516" HB, like I said for years you are an economic and Financial retard, I mean how is it your life of work was worth less then $162, ooo, you said it would bankrupt you if you got a bill that size.
2008 was over $57,000 middle income wage earner.
Tell us which is bigger and better for the wage earner?
I have faith , even you can get this right.

Really, they are "ecstatic" about the loss of wages over every year of Obama's term.
