Well, clearly she's unfit for the Oval Office.

It wasn't the speculating. It was the (cough cough) wallowing in it. We've all speculated as to the health of both of them. Especially those of us in the same age group.

I was not that far outside of Manhattan this morning, and therefore can't relate just what it was like where Mrs. Clinton was located. What I can say is that there was an overnight rain shower as well as, around 8 o'clock, a rain squall that came through. The rest of the morning felt quite warm and the air was heavy, due to what I expect was a higher than average heat index. I was out of doors momentarily a few times, never lingering in the sun, and can't speculate beyond my observations, but what it was was noticeably not comfortable.

Apparently the DNC had a meeting as to who a replacement would be if she is too unhealthy. Of course, the "if" will be lost to the right-wingers.
You had a prez with polio.

The media should fall to their knees and praise the Lord for this gift on a slow-news-day Sunday. (That's irony folks). At least being driven to the CNN website got me up to speed on the Trump-hangs-up-on-Larry-King-on-Russian-state-TV kerfuffle. Just as King was asking about Mexican immigrants, some lady told Donald he had to hang up, leaving dead air and a picture of Trump. Only Trump didn't know it was Russian TV, he thought it was a podcast. Which is "stretching it," per King, since Donald had just done a Larry King podcast.
King is part owner of a Mexican distribution empire whose clients included the Kremlin. And speaking of health, he didn't sound so great himself. Maybe he is soldiering on despite a CVA?
If Hillary has more health problems than she admits to, at least she hasn't produced a doctor's letter about how astonishingly excellent her health is from a doctor who lied about his credentials.
There is something to the buzz re: candidates' health. Often we elect presidents who are beyond the age of mandatory retirement in many professions. Obama and Bush II were in great shape, relatively speaking. JFK was young and looked vigorous, but certain things were left unreported. That's OK with me, to a point. Surely America's allies (and enemies) during WWII understood that FDR had a physical disability, but why advertise that fact? U.S. presidents are expected to project strength and vigor, but let's get real about their ability to project youthfulness. Trump was younger in 2000; Hillary was younger in 2008. Youth is something we all lose. Wisdom is the compensation. We hope.

Trump should be hoping for Hillary to not be too sick to run. If Bernie comes in as a replacement, the election would be much harder for him to win.

Just wanted to express my appreciation to all of our forum physicians for the opinions in this thread. The state of the candidates health is now completely understood by all, I am sure.

Fine. There are many medical opinions offered in this thread by many non-doctors. All are equally appreciated.

I'm guessing that is sarcasm? I think FDR was a hell of a President. That's probably why he was elected 4 times.

A few degrees above room temperature???!
Seriously, if your house is that hot, never invite me around. When my house is in the 29-30ºC range, I'm sitting in front of two fans with the windows open trying to get whatever breeze I can. If I had air con, it'd be on high!
