Instead, she attended a fundraiser featuring Barbra Streisand. Then on Sunday morning, she attended the 9\/11 commemoration, became \u201coverheated,\u201d and woozily wobbled rather dramatically. Ninety minutes later she exited her daughter Chelsea\u2019s apartment building to tell the press she was \u201cfeeling great.\u201d The Secret Service permitted <a title=\"a young girl\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2016\/09\/oh-christs-sake-reporters-react-staged-scene-little-girl-running-hillary\/\" target=\"_blank\">a young girl<\/a> to come over to give the candidate a hug.<\/p>\n<p>It was only a few hours later when her campaign finally announced that she has pneumonia and is recovering.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The most charitable reading of this timeline is that her campaign \u2014 presumably with the blessing and perhaps insistence of the candidate \u2014 fully intended to keep her illness a secret from the public. Let\u2019s be clear about what this means: Her campaign intended to lie.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course the Clintons have made a career out of lying, and Hillary\u2019s trail of lies has been well documented, but this may be the lie that breaks the camel\u2019s back.<\/p>\n<p>So now that the story has changed several times, are we supposed to trust them when they tell us that Hillary Clinton truly does have pneumonia?<\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly, this might actually be the truth.<\/p>\n<p>But instead of bacterial or viral pneumonia, Hillary Clinton may have something called aspiration pneumonia.<\/p>\n<p>Aspiration pneumonia is the <a title=\"leading cause of death\" href=\"http:\/\/www.michaeljfox.org\/foundation\/news-detail.php?swallowing-and-parkinson-disease\" target=\"_blank\">leading cause of death<\/a> for those suffering from Parkinson\u2019s Disease, and if you have not read the article that I did linking Hillary Clinton with Parkinson\u2019s Disease you can find it <a title=\"right here\" href=\"http:\/\/themostimportantnews.com\/archives\/does-hillary-clinton-have-parkinsons-disease\" target=\"_blank\">right here<\/a>.\u00a0 A case of aspiration pneumonia would explain all of the coughing fits that Clinton has been experiencing, and it would be perfectly consistent with <a title=\"what Dr. Ted Noel and other health professionals have been saying\" href=\"http:\/\/themostimportantnews.com\/archives\/does-hillary-clinton-have-parkinsons-disease\" target=\"_blank\">what Dr. Ted Noel and other health professionals have been saying<\/a> about her medical condition.<\/p>\n<p>Since I wrote about this last, it has also been documented that Hillary Clinton\u2019s motorcade has been <a title=\"arriving and leaving with an ambulance\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jFsEu-LShW4\" target=\"_blank\">arriving and leaving with an ambulance<\/a> wherever she goes.<i><\/i><\/p>\n<p>That is not standard operating procedure, and there is no ambulance following Trump around.<\/p>\n<p>What are they still not telling us about Clinton\u2019s health?<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for the Democrats, they can\u2019t force Clinton out of the race.<\/p>\n<p>No matter how sick she becomes, she is going to remain the nominee until she willingly withdraws.<\/p>\n<p>And of course this is a woman that would do or say just about anything to become \u201cthe first woman president\u201d, and so getting her to withdraw would take something truly extraordinary.<\/p>\n<p>But if by some miracle she did withdraw, the national committee of the Democratic Party <a title=\"would hold a special gathering\" href=\"http:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/news\/2016\/09\/12\/what-would-happen-if-hillary-clinton-drops-out-of-us-election-ra\/\" target=\"_blank\">would hold a special gathering<\/a> to select a new nominee\u2026<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>According to the rules of the Democratic Party, the national committee is responsible for filling the position. Party officials would each cast one vote at a special meeting and the winner is whoever gets the majority.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_first-letter\">N<\/span>o special consideration would be given to Tim Kaine,\u00a0the current\u00a0vice-presidential candidate,\u00a0or Bernie Sanders, Mrs Clinton\u2019s closest rival in the race to secure the Democratic nomination. And\u00a0if someone other than Mr Kaine were selected, he would remain the\u00a0vice-presidential candidate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So who would be the choice if Clinton is unable to move forward?<\/p>\n<p>According to Emmy award winning broadcaster <a title=\"David Shuster\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/DavidShuster\/status\/775093724363784192?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">David Shuster<\/a>, insiders are indicating that Joe Biden would be the choice if Hillary were to withdraw.<\/p>\n<div class=\"SandboxRoot env-bp-350\" data-twitter-event-id=\"0\">\n<div id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"EmbeddedTweet js-clickToOpenTarget\" lang=\"en\" data-click-to-open-target=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/DavidShuster\/status\/775352320720797696\" data-iframe-title=\"Twitter Tweet\" data-dt-full=\"%{hours12}:%{minutes} %{amPm} - %{day} %{month} %{year}\" data-dt-months=\"Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May|Jun|Jul|Aug|Sep|Oct|Nov|Dec\" data-dt-am=\"AM\" data-dt-pm=\"PM\" data-dt-now=\"now\" data-dt-s=\"s\" data-dt-m=\"m\" data-dt-h=\"h\" data-dt-second=\"second\" data-dt-seconds=\"seconds\" data-dt-minute=\"minute\" data-dt-minutes=\"minutes\" data-dt-hour=\"hour\" data-dt-hours=\"hours\" data-dt-abbr=\"%{number}%{symbol}\" data-dt-short=\"%{day} %{month}\" data-dt-long=\"%{day} %{month} %{year}\" data-scribe=\"page:tweet\" data-twitter-event-id=\"1\">\n<div class=\"EmbeddedTweet-tweet\">\n<blockquote class=\"Tweet h-entry js-tweetIdInfo subject expanded \n<p>                    is-deciderHtmlWhitespace\" cite=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/DavidShuster\/status\/775352320720797696\" data-tweet-id=\"775352320720797696\" data-scribe=\"section:subject\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"Tweet-header u-cf\">\n<div class=\"Tweet-brand u-floatRight\">\n<div class=\"Icon Icon--twitter \" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"u-hiddenInNarrowEnv\"><a class=\"FollowButton follow-button profile\" title=\"Follow David Shuster on Twitter\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/DavidShuster\" data-scribe=\"component:followbutton\">Follow<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"TweetAuthor\" data-scribe=\"component:author\"><a class=\"TweetAuthor-link Identity u-linkBlend\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/DavidShuster\" data-scribe=\"element:user_link\"><span class=\"TweetAuthor-avatar Identity-avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"Avatar\" src=\"http:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/profile_images\/739640323798929408\/lzPSxrrx_normal.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-scribe=\"element:avatar\" data-src-2x=\"http:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/profile_images\/739640323798929408\/lzPSxrrx_bigger.jpg\" data-src-1x=\"http:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/profile_images\/739640323798929408\/lzPSxrrx_normal.jpg\" \/><\/span><span class=\"TweetAuthor-name Identity-name customisable-highlight\" title=\"David Shuster\" data-scribe=\"element:name\">David Shuster<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"Icon Icon--verified \" title=\"Verified Account\"><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"TweetAuthor-link Identity u-linkBlend\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/DavidShuster\" data-scribe=\"element:user_link\"><span class=\"TweetAuthor-verifiedBadge\" data-scribe=\"element:verified_badge\"><b class=\"u-hiddenVisually\">\u2714<\/b><\/span><span class=\"TweetAuthor-screenName Identity-screenName\" dir=\"ltr\" title=\"@DavidShuster\" data-scribe=\"element:screen_name\">@DavidShuster<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"Tweet-body e-entry-content\" data-scribe=\"component:tweet\">\n<p class=\"Tweet-text e-entry-title\" dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">DNC delegate: If <a class=\"PrettyLink profile customisable h-card\" dir=\"ltr\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/HillaryClinton\" data-mentioned-user-id=\"1339835893\" data-scribe=\"element:mention\"><span class=\"PrettyLink-prefix\">@<\/span><span class=\"PrettyLink-value\">HillaryClinton<\/span><\/a> withdraws, every indication now committee will vote to replace with Biden. <a class=\"PrettyLink profile customisable h-card\" dir=\"ltr\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/BernieSanders\" data-mentioned-user-id=\"216776631\" data-scribe=\"element:mention\"><span class=\"PrettyLink-prefix\">@<\/span><span class=\"PrettyLink-value\">BernieSanders<\/span><\/a>team scrambling<\/p>\n<div class=\"Tweet-metadata dateline\"><a class=\"u-linkBlend u-url customisable-highlight long-permalink\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/DavidShuster\/status\/775352320720797696\" data-datetime=\"2016-09-12T15:16:13+0000\" data-scribe=\"element:full_timestamp\"><time class=\"dt-updated\" title=\"Time posted: 12 Sep 2016, 15:16:13 (UTC)\" datetime=\"2016-09-12T15:16:13+0000\">11:16 AM &#8211;
