Hillary Clinton Fights Back Coughing Attack
2016-09-06
[NBCNEWS] Hillary Clinton

, Ohio, on Monday.

"I've been talking so much," Clinton said with a hoarse voice. "Every time I think about Trump, I get allergic."

The former secretary of state has suffered from coughing fits at times throughout the Democratic presidential primary, but has not had a public coughing fit recently. However the frog in Clinton's throat on Monday was one of the most aggressive she's had during her 2016 run and left her almost unable to finish her remarks.

After the event, campaign aides attributed it to allergies. Allergens were high in Northeast Ohio on Monday, according to pollen.com.

Clinton's conservative opponents have sought to raise questions about her health, though they have produced no evidence to indicate she is unwell.

#18  And here I thought she wasn't going to do anymore campaign events until after the Debate, to "Rest". Keep pressuring her like this and she'll give out. I'm actually wondering about the debates, if Clinton can stand long enough.

#15  Would not surprise me if they have a special water/medicine mixture right next to her pillow.

And/or spit cup.

Or it could be a gimlet.

#12  It's lung cancer, and the telltale weight loss that chemo / radiation / surgery would produce has been ruled out by her handlers as too difficult to explain at this time.

#11  #10 yes, certainly would be nice result. This is a spasmodic response. Singing, talking and yelling all will irritate vocalization process.The more she continues speaking the greater frequency of spasmodic attacks. Asthma, bronchitis and perhaps COPD will develop. Should she continue her days as a public speaker are numbered. Hallelujah!!!!.

#10  ^^^ snark of the day!

The stress from all of the lies and deception are starting to take their toll on her health. And none too soon.

Maybe she should drink Lake Erie. She blames Trump for her cough.

Producing evidence - I thought that's the job of the press..silly me. Investigative reporting now consists of "How was your Labor Day?" and other hard hitting questions.
