• Ah, fuck.

• Her collapse is now complete.

• I wonder she ate. Bet the Russians poised her.

• Well, 2016 is out of the question. Wonder if she was drunk and stumbled.

• The world is ending in a couple of days. So what, who cares?

• Hillary Clinton, get up. We love you

• She had what's known as a "vaso-vagal reaction." It's precipitated by stress and dehydration among other things. The blood vessels rather than remaining constricted to maintain blood pressure suddenly relax, leading to a drain of blood from the brain and fainting. I've had these episodes three times. Once, I came to on my kitchen floor with a splitting ache on the side of my head. Another time I managed to sit and lower my head. The last time occurred two days before Thanksgiving. I fainted face first into the stove after getting a glass of water after waking up. Busted face.

• Bet it's cardiac. A fib or Stokes Adams. Or of she was really cool, Torsades de pointes.

• Yay...dehydration and exhaustion...the old stand-bys.

• When I worked in cardiac surgery, whenever I saw a patient awaiting surgery who had a black eye or a bump on their heads, it was always a Stokes Adams. They fall BOOM.

• I'll bet she caught a glimpse of her hair in the mirror and fainted.

• I fainted while I was shopping. I was diagnosed with cardiac arrhythmia.

• With all the blatant, horrible, sexist bullshit that has been thrown at her these last twenty years, it's not a surprise that she finally fell under the pressure. You pigs got what you wanted. Why don't you masturbate yoursevles into a frenzy while thinking up new and creative ways to destroy strong, intelligent women.

• She's just using this as a way to avoid testifying before Congress this week about the Benghazi massacre.

• Well, well. It appears that Hillary WON'T be testifying to Congress next week. I was starting to forget some of her less savory character traits.

• I fainted two years ago for exactly that same reasons that Clinton fainted. No problems since then. To categorize it as Stokes Adams is reckless without having much more information.

• Why wasn't Bill there to catch her?

• Surprise of the decade, she's pregnant!

• Well, none of us are getting any younger.

• Good thing she was wearing her medical alert bracelet.

• Why did they have to say it was due to dehydration!? Lohan and her ilk have permanently made "dehydration" sound like a cover up for something.

• [quote] With all the blatant, horrible, sexist bullshit that has been thrown at her these last twenty years, it's not a surprise that she finally fell under the pressure. Yes, I'm sure the fainting was because of sexism, not because of anything health-related.

• Hillary is a true inspiration for women who are too old to use their period as an excuse for getting out of work. Kudos, Madam Secretary!

• I'm curious about how she got concussion. Was she alone when she fainted?

• Hillary had a case of the vapors...

• It will be a good day for everyone if Hillary is soon roasting in hell!

• I saw her on the news this morning with her hair up and she looked a thousand times better than with that straw hanging down. Stay with the updo Hillary.

• This is why a woman can't be president. If she had beat Welfare Obama, she'd have won a second term and now look at the mess we'd be in. Women aren't good for much, except cooking.

• Slithering Hillary...
