Would she now? If Trump had a shred of god damn intelligence he would be "banging" on about her crappy campaign strategy of broader geostrategic aims of US imperialism.
When a person goes for a job they always put you through a medical. Being the POTUS is a high pressure job and a president should be healthy enough to do it. What happens if the world is teetering on the edge of war and Hillary is in hospital unable to do her job?
One of Americas greatest ever presidents managed to do the job from a wheel chair.
Franklin D. Roosevelt did it through WW2

Quote:Amendment XXV (1967)
Section 1.
In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.
Section 2.
Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.
Section 3.
Whenever the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, and until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary, such powers and duties shall be discharged by the Vice President as Acting President.
Section 4.
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.
Prior to taking office, the People through their vote in the Primary's, or the particular Political Party, or the Candidate themselves, are really the only ones that can keep a Candidate from running for office
A Constitutional Amendment would go a long way to resolving this issue, but that's not going to happen in anywhere near time to resolve this particular issue in this 2016 election year.
