Hillary Clinton<\/a>, appearing on \u201cJimmy Kimmel<\/a> Live\u201d on Monday, \u00a0said that rumors that she is in ill health are part of a \u201cwacky strategy\u201d against her.<\/p>\n

\u201cBack in October, the National Enquirer said I would be dead in six months. So with every breath I take I feel like I have a new lease on life,\u201d\u00a0Clinton quipped to Kimmel, according to CNN and other reports<\/a>. \u201cI don\u2019t know why they are saying this. I think on the one hand it is part of the wacky strategy \u2014 just say all these crazy things and maybe you can get some people to believe you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kimmel had Clinton open a jar of pickles to show that she was strong.<\/p>\n

Clinton said that it \u201cabsolutely makes no sense\u201d to spread the rumors about her health. \u201cI don\u2019t go around questioning Donald Trump<\/a>\u2019s health. As far as I can tell, he\u2019s as healthy as a horse.\u201d<\/p>\n

Drudge Report has linked to stories that have called into question Clinton\u2019s health, and even former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a Trump supporter, recently cited the Internet rumors in an appearance on Fox News. The Clinton campaign even released a statement from her personal physician in which he wrote that she is in \u201cexcellent health.\u201dKimmel at one point even took Clinton\u2019s pulse.<\/p>\n

This was Clinton\u2019s third visit to Kimmel\u2019s show.<\/p>\n

Clinton also said that she was planning to draw \u201coff my experiences from elementary school\u201d in preparing for her debates with Trump.<\/p>\n
