There is way more going on with her than a bacterial infection in her respiratory tract.

LOL and look how great that turned out. I personally believe we will not see another Republican President until all the bigots are dead which will be close to never.

You mad bro? Just a couple of weeks ago, Trump appeared to have no shot.

Now, after this weekend, looks like he will win as long as Crooked Hillary refuses to step down. Since she will do or say anything to become President, short of her actually dying, pencil her in for your ballots.

What am I mad about exactly? I've been quite vocal about both candidates being terrible and unacceptable. If you think I'm a Hillary fan, you need to pay more attention.

I'm simply pointing out is that Trump's best chance is against a healthy Hillary. He better root for her to recover since any replacement will be much tougher for Trump to beat.

You say "recover" like you seriously believe the story that she only recently has fallen ill. I hope you aren't actually that gullible.

Apart from the rumors and clips of her health problems that have been floating around for months, if not years, the single most telling sign was the reaction of everyone around her to her collapse. Namely, their nonchalance and cold, business like attitude. No shock or bewilderment at what just happened. Just picked her off the ground and shoved her into that black van like a sack of potatoes. They've clearly been through this many times before.

So she likely has a chronic, degenerative disease and the "pneumonia" is an obvious coverup. But since she's lived with it for so long, the odds are overwhelming that she lives another couple months, and therefore isn't going anywhere. Say hello to President Trump.

No, I say recover as in it being a possibility. Maybe you're right, maybe you're not. We can speculate but no one on this forum truly knows her actual health status.

All I'm saying is that Trump fans better pray that she can recover. And if she can't, Trump is worse off.

How anyone could vote for either Hillary or Trump, I have no idea.

Sooner or later the real issue will surface. The Press Corps would've known if she had xrays (needed to diagnose pneumonia), and would the Secret Service let her be taken back to her daughters apartment if she did, rather than a hospital? And would she go to where her infant granddaughter is with a contagious situation? And would a doctor let her hug a little kid being contagious? And does pneumonia cause people to twitch and spasm like she did today? And why did the 'pneumonia' announcement come far after her staff said it was simply heat related?

The whole thing is BS, and we'll likely find out it's Parkinsons, or epilepsy, or something to do with the concussion that caused her to say 'I can't recall' a zillion times during her FBI interrogation.

Wait, didn't you see the staged photo-op afterwards where Hillary confirmed she was fine? This includes the obvious staged placement of a little kid who just happens to notice and hug Hillary, so she wouldn't have to answer any questions.

Nothing to see here folks.

Replacing a candidate's name in late September could prove challenging. The parties would likely have to look to the courts. As Politico noted on August 4, 2016, the courts have shown a willingness to work with the parties on the issue of deadlines: "Courts have tended to discard ballot deadlines in favor of having two parties represented on the ballot.?[7] In 2002, for instance, the New Jersey Supreme Court allowed Democrats to replace their nominee for a U.S. Senate seat 15 days after the certification deadline.[8] In addition to this, election officials in the states have been known to show some leeway on the deadlines. Richard Winger, an expert on ballot access laws, told Ballotpedia by email, ?even when major parties have missed deadlines for certifying presidential and vice-presidential nominees, or presidential elector candidates, election officials have always set the deadline aside.?[9]

The other factor to consider, however, is whether or not the opposing party would file lawsuits seeking to enforce state laws as they are written and prevent a replacement nominee from appearing on the ballot. This would consume a considerable amount time, energy, and resource for both parties but would likely exacerbate the struggles of the party trying to get its replacement nominee on the ballot.
October/early November

In October, especially later in the month, and in early November (before November 8) the situation becomes significantly more complicated. At this point, nearly all ballot certification deadlines have passed, many ballots have been printed off, and voters in some states will have already cast their ballots. This begs the question: what happens if a candidate has dropped out of the race but wins the popular vote in a state? Would the replacement nominee just receive those electoral votes? The answer lies in what that state has to say about its electors in the electoral college. The Constitution does dictate how electors must cast their votes. But some states do. More than half the states have laws dictating how electors must vote. If the former nominee won in a state that does not have a law on how its electors vote, then, theoretically, they could win all of that state's electoral votes. But if the former nominee won in a state that does have a law on how its electors vote, then, one would have to look at that law's fine print to see what would happen and if the state's electoral votes could go to the replacement nominee.
