Exactly I mean they're 68 and 70 years old, neither of them are going to be near their physical peak and shouldn't be expected to be... it's kind of crazy to think that either of them would be. How many people that age don't have some/occasional health issues (especially with having high stress and pressured jobs too)

That was why I was angered at the propaganda about her health and how she was "hiding something"... and it is now proven to be just propaganda... so I really hope we can all move in from this non issue

I know people get mad at the 'sexism card' but I really do think a lot of the reason why it was blown so out of proportion is because she's a woman and that some people see her as weak and have been jumping on this whole thing as a way of trying to shame her. If Trump had walking pneumonia I imagine his supporters would be praising him for powering through, and of course making the point that some rest and antibiotics is all he'd need - because like you say, it's not an issue.

Absolutely 100% this.

I agree with all that Jamie, that is exactly how it would have been portrayed.
