As the presidential nominee for the Democratic Party, Hillary Clinton, made a grand entrance to James Brown’s “I Feel Good”, during a recent stop in North Carolina on her campaign trail. I am sure she had armed herself with all the ammunition necessary to shoot down any assumptions and accusations being made about her health this past week. However, my conspiracy theory heart would not let me rest with the simple explanation that she may have actually been suffering from pneumonia , prompting her short vacation. So I did some digging. Possibly, I could have binge watched too many episodes of Scandal, starring Kerry Washington, but I find it ironic that only three days before her grand entrance Mrs. Clinton almost collapsed to the ground while attempting to step foot into an all-black tinted SUV. Believe me, it was not a pretty clip to watch. I cringed. Now here we are applauding her resilience and listening to an “I’m back” turned healthcare based speech. It was the perfect power play to engulf the American people into a conversational frenzy and gain more supporters. All in one swift motion. Social media users went crazy, sympathy poured out from the news outlets and her competitors provided us with their usual slick remarks. Typically, pneumonia clears up within two or three weeks with the proper care. But older adults, babies and people with other pre-existing diseases can become extremely ill. These people are recommended to visit a hospital or their personal physician immediately. Mrs. Clinton happens to be 68 years old and reported that she neglected to seek medical attention because she thought she could progress without it. Yet after 72 short hours away from the limelight, she had returned like she never left. Better than ever and not missing one step while climbing into vehicles. The more involved I become in politics, the more I realize that it is just like a chess game.The presidential campaign season acts as the chestsnational tournament. Clinton has been advocating for President Barak Obama’s Affordable Care Act since the very beginning of her campaign and her latest stunt just put the nail in the healthcare coffin. “…when I’m under the weather I can certainly afford to take a few days off. Millions of Americans can’t. They either go to work sick or they lose a paycheck.” The Democratic nominee told the North Carolina crowd. Then the crowd roared. Check mate Mr. Trump
