Looks like he was about to faint. I’ve been feeding some neighborhood cats in an effort to trap them to get them properly nuetered/spayed, so when I put out food I’ll sit with them while they eat so they learn I’m not a threat. I put out some food, and then hunkered down into a deep squat, just enjoying the morning sunshine, the sounds of kitty’s eating and the wind dancing between the leaves. Must’ve stayed in that position for a little longer than I thought, because when I got up abruptly to head inside, I fainted! Thankfully I was able to break the fall with my hip, so I only got a small gash on the backside of the ol’ noggin, but it was scary. I woke up quick enough and was immediately aware of the time of day, what I was doing, etc. so I wasn’t worried about a concussion (I’ve had one before so know what to look for), but still. t’was alarming! and the way I felt, all unsteady, leaning heavily on whatever was around in an effort to stabilize myself, is exactly what this guy in the video looked like. Don’t know if it can be fully explained by not eating during a busy day as the candidate suggested, but perhaps with some hypertension/anti-anxiety medication thrown in… yeah, I could see that.

Certainly nice of the other candidate to check on him, it seemed like he was genuinely concerned, which is exactly what we should value in those we choose to represent us.
