Health matters most

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton experienced a medical incident on Sunday. Fox News was the first to report it. The rest of the TV channels and radio stations were not quick to jump on this important story. We are less than two months away from the election, and Clinton is the Democratic nominee. Could it be that the media was slow to report the story because she is their darling? Possibly.

In a case like this, Twitter users have become the most prominent reporters. At first, we were told she had twisted her ankle, and like Cinderella, lost a shoe. Where would Prince Bill find her?

Later, it was reported that she had been overcome by the heat, gone to rest at her daughter Chelsea's house, and that everything was fine. We could breathe easy; Clinton was still in the race. So what should this story teach us? Is an incident like this important?

First of all, we should remember that this happened in a week that was already a very bad one for Clinton, who is now seeing Republican nominee Donald Trump close the gap in the polls. Every time a report comes out about her, it's negative. And her odd remarks about Trump voters didn't help her any.

As for Sunday? The heat can get to anyone. The story is a positive one: All of a sudden, Clinton is human, sympathetic, a hero. The woman who made it back from the heat.

But there is also another version: Remember how we told you she wasn't in the best of health? Maybe that's right, and then all the other negative things that have been said about her are also correct. That's a bad scenario.

A crazy election lies ahead. And this is even before the debates, which will be pretty crazy, too.

Now that Clinton is coughing, and fainting, what can we expect on Nov. 8?

Most importantly, with all due respect to the presidency, health is what matters most. For both candidates. Making it to the White House is good, but not if it means skipping a visit to the hospital.
