Yeah, my guess is that she's healthy overall, but that thing played right into the GOP's narrative.It sure has been a gas reading and hearing all the various "theories" about this thing that happened with Hillary at the van. From AIDS to Parkinson's to any number of other potential maladies, I'm confident that this story has shattered all possible traffic records at WebMD™.
My guess is that she had walking pneumonia, which is plenty shitty, and between that and its associated fever and the heat of the day and the fact that she was all dressed up nice 'n stuff, it whacked her good and now she's fine.
That said, one question is bugging me.
This is a 68-year old lady. A 68-year old lady who is a former Secretary of State. A 68-year old lady who is a former Secretary of State who has won her party's nomination and is running for freakin' President.
Wouldn't passing out have warranted a beeline to the nearest hospital, no questions asked?

Hillary Clinton has released her medical records and she did indeed come down with walking Pneumonia which is a bacterial non contagious infection that anyone at any age can get. A few days rest, lots of liquids and antibiotics are the cure. Side effects are chills, due to fever, lack of energy, coughing fits, dizziness, etc.
Clinton releases medical records
Trump has gone to the Wizard of OZ show and has refused to release his medical records, but his last colonoscopy revealed something shocking. They didn't find Sean Hannity in there.
Pneumonia will drain you for weeks, especially at her age.
And if she refuses to rest properly, she risks a relapse.
Even if her issue is "just" pneumonia, this is a HUGE deal for the campaign.
Surely that's why they didn't go to the ER.
This could matter in a tight race.

And that's the best case scenario.
