Could, no, would, possibly - as in "I don't want to admit I'm sick." I also thought I would just be able to ride it out, didn't see any reason to run to the doctor until it got bad enough and lasted long enough to make me go. And I wasn't campaigning at the time.
Andy, I'd certainly hope that if you had a persistent hacking cough for six months you'd have gone to the doctor before it turned into pneumonia.

Campaign trail requirements mean there's no opportunity for taking a week off for bed rest. If she did the same idiot voices would still be going "OMG what's wrong, is it a brain tumour?!?!?".

She damned if she does and damned if she doesn't.

Let’s take a look at all the different, and contradictory, explanations we’ve had for Hillary Clinton’s health problems over the last week, going back to her nearly unwatchable coughing attack on September 5:
1) She’s fine.
2) Okay, maybe she coughed a little, but it’s just allergies.
3) Calm down, she just tripped at that 9/11 memorial event.
4) Okay, maybe she didn’t exactly trip, but she overheated because it was so hot outside.
5) Okay, maybe it was only 79 degrees and she was in the shade, but she was totally dehydrated and stuff.
6) On second thought, she has a really bad case of pneumonia.
7) Actually, she’s “feeling great” now and not contagious so we’re going to make a spectacle of her hugging a kid in the street.
Yeah, about that not contagious thing: the whole campaign pretty much caught the plague from Hillary.
9) Hillary Clinton feels so great right now that her campaign just canceled two days of events.
10) She’s fine.
See, those can’t all be simultaneously true. The thing about a good lie is that it doesn’t contradict your old lie. A good lie doesn’t crap all over the lie you just told five seconds ago. A good lie doesn’t saw off the limb that your idiot supporters just climbed up.
Pro-tip: if you’re going to claim your candidate has a highly contagious infection that caused her to pass out (after exhausting a bunch of other absurd excuses), don’t send her to the home of her vulnerable newborn granddaughter, then have her hug all over a little kid on the street while declaring how great she feels, then suddenly cancel a bunch of her events because she’s so ill.
I know politics in 2016 are insane, but is it too much to ask that our politicians at least try to peddle some internally consistent lies?

Hope it isn't actually pneumonia, for that kid's sake.
Why?

It's infectious.

I guess Hillary should be quarantined then, since she's such a danger.
$1:
Mere exposure to a person with "contagious" pneumonia is not enough to cause pneumonia. Although exposure is important, it is not the only factor determining the development of pneumonia. It is quite common that the exposed person may not develop pneumonia, or develop only a mild respiratory tract infection.
The immune status and lung condition (any preexisting lung disease) of the exposed person is particularly important in this regard. Moreover, even different normal persons have different susceptibility to different infectious agents. Same infectious agent may cause different spectrum of illness in two individuals. Most commonly, a person exposed to "contagious" pneumonia, will either have no symptoms or develop only a mild respiratory tract infection. Developing pneumonia is rare unless the person has compromised immune system or suffering from preexisting heart/lung disease.

The thing is that Hillary's campaign is saying this is contagious and that numerous people in contact with her contracted it and this includes US Senator Charles Schumer.
It isn't true, of course, and that's the point. You easily proved it to be a lie.

Once I had a class of 15 people of which 10 caught pneumonia, including myself, from one student who had it. So yes it's infectious. It depends on the particular strain. She should keep her distance.

Only shows her real callous disregard for anyone, including little girls.
If that even was Hillary, somehow I doubt it.

Do you really believe that this woman, in the middle of a Presidential campaign, does not have competent enough doctors that they could not have diagnosed and treated 'simple' pneumonia months ago?
The alternative to incompetent doctors is that the woman put off attending to her own health in a lust for power. Either way it's not good.

I bet her reluctance to see a doctor has something to do with the co-pays...

Who gives a shit? Do you think it's going to convince even ONE Democrat to vote for Trump? Not a chance, just more whining.
And to top it all off, what does it matter. That's what a Vice President is for. What's next? Idiot media making an issue of a candidate in a wheelchair?

Maybe it won't convince anyone to vbote for Trump but it WILL motivate Democrats to stay home and not bother to vote for Hildebeast.

The wheelchair remark is no doubt a reference to FDR to which I say: Yalta.
