She’s getting Dr. “Feelgood” Shots of Meth, so they have to step here down after the debate so she can sleep. It’s an insidious cycle couldn’t happen to a more mean spirited old communist chairman Mao impersonator!
Whatever the issue is....obviously, *no one* needs multiple days to prepare for an hour and a half appearance when their life’s work has been spent in preparation for just that event.
Now; if ‘preparing for the debate’ is a euphemism for some sort of medical or pharmaceutical protocol; then yes; multiple days would be needed, not to prepare, but to recover from the last round or ‘prep’.
Think Chemotherapy, for example. Each round brutalizes the body more than the previous one, and it takes longer and longer for the body to recover. These debates may not be far enough apart to fully recover. It’s fortuitous for her if that is the case, that this last round is set for sitting calmly at a table.
