It gets her out of having to debate
“It gets her out of having to debate.”
My wife and I came to the same conclusion. In most cases it is a totally unproductive cough. It sounds phony; not unusual for a Clinton. If she does debate a coughing jag will give her time to compose her answer. This really should not be necessary because she will huddle with the moderator prior to the debate.
I am not so sure about that. What are the rules? If she drops out does Trump get a free 90 minutes of TV time? Could this be the reason we are hearing reports that DT wants minor candidates included in the debates. That way, the debate is held Hillary or no Hillary.
Somehow I suspect that if she drops out, it will stoke the health question to the max.
Another rules question. Questions are asked and each candidate gets a period of time allowed for a response. Say Hillary has a coughing fit. Does that count as part of her time?
Does Donald want to have it count against her time? If she wants to cough for 5 minutes straight on national TV it is probably to his advantage to allow her to do that. Is the network allowed to cut away to a commercial to avoid showing the coughing fit? Our team needs to have the rules straight on this before the debates start. Do not allow her coughing fit to be swept under the rug.
