If her opponent were a pickle jar, Hillary Clinton would have won the election on Monday night.
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the host gave Clinton, who has been accused by some Republicans of being in poor health, the ultimate test to prove her strength: He handed her a pickle jar and asked her to open it (she did so, without exerting too much effort). Clinton said the claims that she is sick and thus unfit to be president leave her baffled. "I think on the one hand, it's part of the wacky strategy, just say all these crazy things and maybe you can get some people to believe you," she said. "On the other hand, it just absolutely makes no sense. I don't go around questioning Donald Trump's health. As far as I can tell, he's healthy as a horse." Clinton also asked Kimmel to take her pulse, noting that the National Enquirer declared last October that she would be dead in six months. "Oh my God, there's nothing there!" Kimmel exclaimed.
