Clinton Suffers Another Coughing Episode During Speech — and Shares Crowd-Pleasing Diagnosis

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton suffered yet another coughing episode during a speech Monday in Cleveland — a hacking, throat-clearing fit that dominated the better part of her first three minutes at the microphone.

Clinton took swigs of water, appeared to unwrap a cough drop and at first seemed to blame her coughing on how much she's been talking lately.

But in the middle of the worst part of Clinton's coughing episode, she held it off just long enough to intone — in a rather eye-opening, deep voice — that "every time I think about Trump I get allergic."

As you can imagine, the crowd enjoyed that diagnosis.

Clinton's coughing has been one of several subjects of discussion related to questions about her overall health.
