If Hillary's poll numbers go up after the fainting incident..

the deplorables will claim she made it all up.

In fact, I find it likely that her numbers will go up, unless Trump's fans are classy in response to the fainting, which I find very unlikely.

THIS WILL NOT LOOK GOOD FOR ANY CANDIDATE THAT IS HAPPENS TO.

Full stop. Fainting during a memorial service is not 'Presidential' and it fits into an established narrative that Hillary is hiding something with her health. That is not good.

that Hillary faked this episode so that she could draw attention to her and get press coverage today. Trump is deplorable enough to use this episode to attack Hillary either way - that she is unhealthty or that she faked this for attention.

Respectfully, perhaps you should delete your post. Anyone Googling "Hillary fainting" and your post will show up. That's how this stuff gets started.

The media wants Trump and I am so pissed off about it.

I fainted in the heat in marching band as a perfectly healthy 16 year old. I am 52 and still healthy, but we won't hear anything but health conspiracy theories for the rest of the campaign.
