Odd that you would have posted at this point that Clinton took $$$ over her health then.

I wondered how long it would be before you made an appearance. You are sooooo easy.

You predictably avoided the question so I'll ask again, Unless you'd been called on this, how would anyone have known that was CNN's interpretation and not yours

Another quick edit there I see to remove the incriminating evidence....
Of course, many would consider the person that wrote "Nothing or no-one could persuade me to vote for her." as being the one with the "one-sided" opinions...

so I'm left thinking....
What in the world is "a one sided opinion" (to which JG keeps refering)?
Are there 2 sided opinions or hexagonal ones?
Would such a construct still be "an opinion"?
When does an "opinion" morph into a "nuanced point of view" and cease to be an "opinion"? (are the 2 synonymous?) And when does it collapse altogether?
And if an opinion is, by definition, "one sided" - and one-sided connotates BAD (as JG seems to imply), does that mean we should divest ourselves of it?
Course that's what dictators and tyrants demand...."leave the 'thinking' to me!"
Which I, for one, will never do, at any time, for anyone. about anything.

I first read the speech bubble as, "I'm going to geek a third opinion" which shows just how far I've gone in accepting construction of new verbs from nouns...

FDR was secretly in a wheelchair. Lincoln was frail and emaciated and, according to many historians, quite likely would have died in office had he not been assassinated. Washington suffered from debilitating boils on his bottom. Grant was an alcoholic and heavy smoker. Obama was a secret smoker. LBJ was quite likely insane towards the end of his presidency.
Seriously though, the whole thing is ridiculous. The right wing think Hillary will be dead by the end of the week, Clinton loyalists are saying it's sexist to be concerned that Clinton collapsed because there was that time Dubya choked on a pretzel.
It's absurd that Clinton has to deny the fact that she gets sick like any other human because of how it will somehow prove to those on the right she is on deaths's door.
Still, Trump must be loving this, because everyone is talking about this and ignoring his latest charity fraud story. You can tell this because he's kept his trap shut for once.

There is a nice feminist backlash brewing.
- first time the GOP has ever been concerned about a woman's health
- woman is sick but still goes to work like a boss

We're being punked hard, one way or another.

Poor Trump, such a loser, can't even get people to agree to be in his campaign ads.

so...
Clinton is ill
Prognosis: with antibiotics and rest - she'll recover
Trump is sick
Prognosis: Not only is he incurable - he's contagious. He is infecting the body politic in a manner which will leave permanent damage.
That's my opinion (see above discussion). Whether it's "one-sided" or gazumpteen sided depends on *your* point of view, and *yours* and etc....
And if people all happen to agree...it's sideless.
Again...my opinion

Lets hope it extends to anyone that isn't in Trump's main demographic (rich, white, male....).
I think thats the key thing here. She initially took *lots* of flack on social media for leaving the event early. Now people know why, she should be praised for turning up in the first place!
- what I don't get are the polls. As I see, the camps are so polar right now that you're either Trump, Hillary or hate them both (and are looking at a third party), so at this stage - pretty late in the game - the polls still seem to fluctuate between Trump/Hillary taking the lead. I wonder where/how they do their sampling.
