On Sunday, Hillary Clinton hurriedly left a 9/11 memorial event in New York when, according to her staff, she became “overheated and dehydrated” thanks to a bout of pneumonia.

The real issue is chronic dehydration, exacerbated by her lung problem and Clinton’s reluctance to drink water, which has become a source of tension with her staff.
“She won’t drink water, and you try telling Hillary Clinton she has to drink water,” said a person in her orbit — who described a frenzied rehydration mission that included multiple bottles of water and Gatorade.
