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).

I trust they’ll permit ‘Illary to keep a bollard close at hand.

Hitlary standing for 90 minutes? Oh yes, this could be interesting.

I think we need an FR pool on this. I say she passes out at the 47-minute mark.

Upon hearing this news, Pickles went weak in the knees.

So, will she ‘power through’, or is this the end of her?

Trump should wear a tie with a bunch of flashing LEDs.

Between the oxygenated transfusions and the powerful drugs, she'll make it through.

Just watched her “press conference” from a couple days ago, all 12 minutes. She did fine. Frankly, I believe she will do quite well if there are commercial breaks. Don’t underestimate her. It’s hers to win if she keeps her usual poise and if Trump utters one quotable gaffe. The race is anyone’s to lose.

I predict Hillary comes out geeked out of her mind on bath salts. 30 minutes in, she tries to eat Trump’s face. 2 minutes after that, she strokes out and is tube fed until the end.

Bill, the perv, finds Hill’s new state sexy. He...

And in the townhall-type debate, she’ll need one of those pneumatic chairs that push people up to a standing position!
