Commission: Both Candidates Must Stand for First Debate
Breitbart ^ | September 22, 2016 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 09/22/2016 4:32:36 PM PDT by TennTuxedo

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump will stand behind lecterns for the first debate on Monday at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York, the Commission on Presidential Debates confirms.

The commission told Breitbart News on Thursday that the first debate will require both candidates to stand. The second, to be held Oct. 9 at Washington University in St. Louis, will be in a town hall format, meaning that candidates may stand when it is their turn to speak, and sit when they are done. (In 2012, the second debate, also in town hall format, featured some infamous exchanges where both Gov. Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama were standing and arguing with each other).

For 90 minutes ? That’s a long time to wait for a wreck, and we don’t even get to listen to Darrell Waltrip.

while this clearly favors Trump, I personally would have no objection to HilLIARy sitting through the debate, or even laying down in her hospital bed

It’s a trick! Her podium contains a giant battery, and standing helps hide the wires.

I suggest a bionic exoskeleton, hidden under loose garments. No one has to know.

I wonder if she will leave the stage for several minutes and return to applause.

Hillary hasn’t done 90 minutes standing much. Maybe at the convention?
