It's Rather Amazing How Others View the USA Political Scene

I happened to look today at English language news sites from the Middle East.  I do this to get access to news items that just do not seem ever to make it into the American media.  I was surprised to see that there was extensive coverage of Hillary Clinton's fainting spell and her diagnosis of pneumonia.  What surprised me most about these articles was the discussion of how Hillary would be replaced if she could not continue as a candidate.

If you look at discussions here in the USA, you can find people who believe that Hillary and her people have withheld information that shows that she is much sicker than the public announcements so far would indicate.  That is far from a majority view, however.  In the Middle East media, though, the consensus seems to be that Hillary will likely have to withdraw from the race.
