4.) What is the campaign's position on the protective press pool?
Presidents and presidential candidates have traditionally traveled with a small, rotating group of journalists so the American public can get real-time updates about unexpected incidents — exactly like the one on Sunday. But Clinton left her press pool behind at the Sept. 11 event and kept them in the dark for 90 minutes before providing any information on her whereabouts or health. Clinton has yet to agree to full "protective pool" coverage, which would allow reporters to follow her door-to-door. Will she now? (Trump, so far, has not allowed for full time "protective" pool coverage, and reporters do not fly on his plane with him to his campaign to events.)
5.) Will Clinton allow a true protective pool if elected president?
Clinton's health scare is already expected to potentially affect financial markets, but the impact would be far more dramatic if she were president. A 90-minute window with no news about a missing president could lead people to assume the worst. Clinton's, or her campaign's, choice to leave the press pool behind broke with precedent on access—will that change if she's in the White House?
Hillary's pattern so far has been to deny everything, limit press access, and cover up. That's been disastrous. And the point here is that it would get even messier if she's in the White House.
The end result could even affect financial markets. And by now Hillary has lied so many times that no one really trusts any assurances from her. This creates a cycle in which she lies harder, is even more disbelieved, and in the financial realm, this produces instability and insecurity. And that is toxic to any recovery.
