British Expats - 2016 Election

I dunno, I recall a map by 538 I think (see below) that speculated on an electoral college where Trump won over virtually no women voters. Very blue.

I'm not sure that's fair. I believe the current polling shows that Trump has an advantage with men (if only men voted, then the map would be completely red), but Clinton has an advantage with women.

However, rich, white men isn't accurate either. Uneducated, white men would be closer to the truth.

I suppose the pneumonia could be expanded to 'failed to be transparent' but...

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...

The scary thing is contemplating a conversion and acceptance of an old verb as a proper noun if it should win the election. Words fail

Re: 2016 Election

I was advised by my doctor four years ago to get an anti-pneumonia vaccination in addition to the annual anti- flu shot. The anti-pneumonia shot lasts for a lifetime.

I'm wondering why Hillary's doctors apparently didn't advise her the same especially at her age. Apparently money doesn't always get one the best doctors

Or she did get the vaccine, but became ill anyway. I don't think the vaccines cover all possible causes of pneumonia.

Who knows, really.

Jersey posted while I was writing and reading about the vaccine.....But what she said.

What you and JG said, basically. The vaccine is only going to help prevent viral pneumonia, and no vaccine is 100% effective anyway.

My husband's cousin had the same a few months before I was sick. She was otherwise in good health and roughly the same age as me. I say 'was' because she was admitted to hospital and died.
