Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York, who attended the ceremony with Clinton, said he chatted with her for "quite a while" about their families and 9/11 memories.
She looks fine to me. Anyone can get overheated and by itself, it's not a sign of serious illness. Politico reports
Several other Democrats, including Rep. Joe Crowley (D-Queens) said the site was unshaded and hot – and many of those in attendance had sweated through their clothes – even though the temperature was a moderate 82 degrees with mild humidity.
Trump supporters are celebrating (please don't post their remarks and conspiracy theories in comments.) Trump. wisely, is toning it down:
Trump, whose recent gains in the polls have coincided with a more restrained, stage-managed style, brushed off reporters’ requests to comment on Clinton’s problems. Privately, his supporters cast the developments as a positive for the campaign, but worried that Trump and his supporters would overshoot the mark – reinforcing her claims that he’s “temperamentally unfit” -- as he has done so many times in the past.
...One Republican lobbyist who raises money for Trump offered the campaign this advice: “Trump should not say or tweet a thing about Hillary’s health, unless it’s to say, ‘I hope she feels better.’ He needs to be very careful and sensitive, and not reinforce the worse things people think about him, which is that he’s an a*shole.
No rational person would change their vote from Hillary to Trump based on her swooning from the heat.
A new Washington Post ABC News poll released last night has Hillary 5 points ahead of Trump among likely voters and 10 points ahead among registered voters.
Clinton holds a 46 percent to 41 percent edge over Trump among likely voters, followed by Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson at 9 percent and the Green Party’s Jill Stein at 2 percent. Clinton’s lead swells to 10 percentage points among the wider swath of registered voters, 45 percent to 35 percent, similar to her 45 percent to 37 percent edge last month.
These numbers are pretty telling:
Trump and Clinton are actually nearly even among white men with college degrees, a sharp change from recent elections when Republicans carried those voters easily.
Clinton’s double-digit lead with white college-educated women would mark Democrats’ largest margin since exit polling began covering the topic in 1980.
Clinton’s 75 percent to 13 percent lead among the growing share of nonwhite voters is similar to Barack Obama’s four years ago.
I do think interest in the election has decreased -- who wants to read about (much less watch) Trump's latest antics? I sure don't.
