Is there a better clip than what I've seen? I'm not sure it can be rated as serious based on that shot.
I don't want to play Doctor (except with my special friends) but there ain't no way that doesn't look 'serious'. She couldn't walk and almost fell down. If it comes out that she was just totally loaded, then fine and good for her, but I doubt that.
Even a passed-out Hillary is better than a conscious Trump, but still, you can understand why people would be concerned.
On the other hand, the MAIN STREAM MEDIA is all over this story, so it probably didn't happen at all. Might have been a body double or something.

Trump could actually be force Hillary to release her medical records if he did the same. Instead he's going to Dr. Oz to talk about his "health regimen". Both of their health and tax records should be publicly available, up to the media to ratchet up the pressure for them.

Trump is immune to societal pressure. I bet he never releases his taxes. No one will actually press him. There are too many stories for any one of them to stick.
5 years ago I didn't think Hillary would run because of her age. I've never been more cynically resigned to Trump as president than I was immediately following the video of her. It's so damning. The US election politics are fashion show popularity contests, and a crisp, still, well lit video of an elderly presidential candidate collapsing after an event can scuttle an entire campaign. The only thing worse would be some kind of mental illness, but the age and health of candidates is a major, major factor for the vast majority of voters.
That piece of video could be the election.

Arguably the greatest president of all time was in notoriously poor health and paralyzed from the waist down. It's unfortunate that a leader like FDR would be disqualified from today's media driven charade that is a U.S. election campaign.

FDR's health was controversial all the way through his presidency.

Yes, and the lesson that should've been learned is that he was a successful leader despite these challenges. Unfortunately it hasn't been - not that I would expect the average American to have an understanding of a part of U.S. history not involving ancient aliens.
I've passed out in the heat several times and have no underlying health problems. It was like 31 degrees in New York today and she was in a crowd and wearing all black. I would have be on the ground. Granted, I'm not running for president.

Same. I had heat stroke when I was 12 and couldn't walk.
Unfortunately the video will play 24/7 as a piece of right wing propaganda even if she's fine.

Yeah I get that, but you gotta admit that this does not look good by any stretch. Trump and his flunkies have been questioning Hillary's literal fitness for months and it just seemed like a sleazy ploy, like everything he does, but now it does seem like a legit question.
It's such a stressful gig. Even George W., who seemed impervious to stress because he didn't know what was going on, got old real fast. Obama has aged about 25 years in the last eight.
