Why did Hillary hug a child while suffering from pneumonia? Candidate embraced young girl despite having a contagious illness

Pneumonia is a hell of a disease… and arrogance is a hell of a drug. After lying to the public for several days about Hillary’s health, with coughing fits and fainting spells being laid at the feet of allergies and heat, the Hillary campaign has finally admitted that she has pneumonia. it’s unclear *why* they felt the need to lie about this; there is no particular stigma attached to pneumonia. It’s not an STD, for instance.

But what *is* morally bad about pneumonia is when you go out amongst the public while you know you have it. Good job, dumbass, you’re spreading a contagious, deadly disease.

After her little stumble, she was rushed away… not to a hospital, but to her daughters apartment. About 90 minutes later she emerged, apparently looking fantastically better. Now, I’ve had “walking pneumonia” and numerous bouts of bronchitis. You know what made me go from stumbling down ill to “I feel great” in 90 minutes? Not a damned thing. The best meds and oxygen bumped me up to “well, I don’t feel like immediate death anymore.” So I’m left to wonder what miracle of modern chemistry there might be that will perk a sick person right up. Something that, I dunno, could tweak you right up to the semblance of health with all due speed.

If the Hillary campaign was smart, they’d try to use the illness as an excuse to explain what *should* be a near-ruinous fiasco: Hillary’s insulting of  a good portion of the electorate.

“To just be grossly generalistic you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic—you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up.”

I’m no politician, but even *I* know that you don’t win votes by trashing the *voters.* Go ahead and talk smack about your opponent; in Trumps case, you can say nasty things about him from now till election day and never say the same thing twice. The man’s a clownish buffoon, an idiotarian leftist pretending to be a right winger. But insulting those who support him? Not cool. Especially since a lot of the people who support Trump don’t really seem to know much about him beyond “he’s not Hillary.”

There is a good side to this story, though: she said this to a group of big-money donors. Donors who now know that when she was trying to squeeze dollars from them, she was squeezing pathogens from her lungs out at them.

Didn’t take long for Trump’s people to jump on that:

There is another upside to Hillary’s “basket of deplorables:” If you do a Google Image Search on that phrase, what’s the first thing that pops up? A whole lot of merchandise (T-shirts, specifically). No matter how socialist the candidate, capitalism will always be there ready to mock them and make a buck.

Now, to Hillarys claim: are there a lot of scumbags supporting Trump? I suppose so. But Hilalry’s side of the political aisle has so overused terms like “racist” and “sexist” and all the rest that they have lost their meaning.  *Anyone* can incur the wrath of the fascistic power-mad control freak SJW’s, through a slip of the tongue, a lame joke, or even nothing at all. And so… a *large* majority of the country can be easily lumped in with the “sexists” and “Islamophobes” and such. Hillary is claiming that the majority of the public, by the weak and overused definitions her side is so fond of, is “deplorable” and should not be listened to, should not be heard, should not be a part of public discourse. Given that a *lot* of Trumps popularity comes from his stance against political correctness (just about the only position he’s expressed that I agree whole-heartedly with), Hillary has just made his point for him.
