Wait, so Hillary has PNEUMONIA and she's still campaigning as hard as she is? You realize how badass that is, right?

Oswalt echoed Josh Barro’s sentiment that the diagnosis will improve Clinton’s image.
I'm not sure it's right, but there's an argument to be made that this episode will improve Clinton's image.

It shows her doing her best to grit her teeth and work hard even with pneumonia. And it's humanizing, relatable.
