The outspoken Bill Maher has made very clear with a single tweet that Hillary’s health would not change his vote.
Maher went on to say Hillary could “be Patient Zero for Bubonic Plague, still better than #TangerineNightmare”
Maher tweeted:
Pneumonia? I'd vote for Dead Hillary in this race. She could be Patient Zero for Bubonic Plague, still better than #TangerineNightmare
— Bill Maher (@billmaher) September 13, 2016
Maher makes a fair point. Are voters really prepared to change their entire political leaning because Hillary had a wobble? Would Hillary feeling ill, suddenly make any thinking person decide to switch and vote for Trump?
Neuroscientist and philosopher, Sam Harris have just said in a podcast that he would choose Clinton over Trump, even if she were on life support, even if she died in the first week of office, and he even went on to say he would choose any random citizen to be president over Trump.
Many people in the Twittersphere also seem to agree. Tichina Arnold tweeted:
*Hillary could have 6 breathing tubes coming out of her neck & I still wouldn't vote for little donald. Who the hell is he kidding? #Afool

And there have been countless other tweets with the same message:
i would definitely still vote for Hillary's corpse

Hillary could have pneumonia every day for the next eight years and I'd still vote for her over Trump.

While so many people have made it very clear that would not be changing their vote, even if Hillary died, it seems she is actually OK. We have all seen her walk from Chelsea’s building and speak on TV. She is now taking rest per doctor’s orders.
The Republicans are having a field day with Hillary’s illness and seem to take real joy in her falling ill. They are acting so offended that Hillary did not disclose pneumonia. Many people soldier on for work (especially if you were running a presidential campaign). It is a case of damned if she does and damned if she doesn’t.
Hillary being sick does not make Trump the better candidate and any rational person knows that. If Trump were to fall ill or get pneumonia, would Trump supporters suddenly drop him? Trump and Hillary are of similar age and so far we have only heard wacky statements from his doctor saying Trump would be the healthiest president ever, yeah right!
Elections are more important than someone getting a bout of pneumonia. They are about how America will be seen on a world stage. Do we want a reality TV star or someone with decades of political experience?
Do we really want a man who wants to put walls up between us and our neighbors? A man who wants to ban a whole religion?
Maher is just saying what a lot of us are thinking #neverTrump and yes, an under the weather Hillary is still preferable to the divisive Donald.
