Why is it surprising that the presidential candidate kept working even while ill? Women do it every day
As the cover of nearly every newspaper and news site in America made abundantly clear Monday morning, Hillary Clinton, the Democratic candidate for president of the United States, cut short her appearance at 9/11 memorial ceremony on Sunday and later disclosed that she’d been diagnosed on Friday with pneumonia. In a more normal world and in a more normal year, that information might receive a public round of supportive get well wishes, and then we’d move on. But these, as we are painfully aware, are not normal times.
Clinton’s health has been a front and center topic of public speculation and armchair diagnoses for several months now, all couched in the vague concern about whether this woman — this woman with actual political experience and knowledge — is less qualified to run the country than her Twitter-troll reality-show-star opponent. It’s a popular old ploy: Ladies, aren’t you too weak to do this stuff? Why don’t you just sit down and have a lemonade and leave the heavy lifting of running the world to the menfolk, dear? To which I say: You have got to be kidding me.
Powering through is what women do.

Sarah Palin sends her regards.
Bigot.
Pneumonia is just a symptom of the bigger disease here, dumbass.
It sounds like Mary Elizabeth might be a feminist, man hater.
“Sarah Palin sends her regards.”
I am truly honored!
As you wish, bring on the hour long debates.
She will power through spreading her pneumonia and hocking green clams into her water glass.
She would have powered her face into the pavement if she didn’t have a dozen handlers holder her up and dragging her into the undercover ambulance
They are just reflecting on what they see in cold medicine tv commercials. Men weak. Women strong. If it’s on tv it must be true.
I’m almost 65 and in far better health and condition than HRC, but I got pneumonia a few years ago and it kicked my ass.
I don’t believe her diagnosis.
Pffft.
I thought it would be a real shame if she had hit the pavement with her face and gotten two black eyes...would have been terrible.
She is the SMARTEST AND HEALTHIEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD. That is her and the Dems line and you will NOT dispute it. All of those fake film clips of her having medical problems are ultra-right wing fanatical conservatives deception that the media has fallen for.

on NPR this Morning they mentioned Hillary’s PUNISHING schedule
LOL
Good, I hope she does. I want trump to smash her on November 8.
Yeah, she’s a real inspiration to all of us lazy-ass military vets who never faced adversity.
