So let me get this straight. Hillary overheated

at an emotional event, in 80 degree heat, standing in the sun, wearing a hot kevlar bullet proof vest, a hot dark layered long-sleeved outfit and dark paints, and there wasn't anyone around with a conspicuous bottle of drinking water.

I wonder how many other people either left early due to the heat and dark somber attire that don't happen to be public figures and splashed all over the news?

2. Well, Trump also left early. But no headlines about that.

It's just buried deep into the breathless articles about Hillary, if mentioned at all.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump was also in attendance at the memorial ceremony and left the service before it ended.

Should we ask his flaky doc?

Just kidding. Pretty sure it was just his lack of character.

She was diagnosed Friday . I can understand her not feeling well today. If it was other event she might have cancelled.
Hope she takes a few days off and heals quickly.

I believe it was well above 88 degrees and quite humid. It was especially hot in the sun where I live, which is about an hour from New York by train. As the morning progressed, it got significantly cooler as a cold front moved in.
