Thanks for clearing that up. So they will allow for time-wasting blathering by talking heads while Hillary shuffles off to a dark corner to get an injection of something.

And her skin toned wireless earbud. How funny if someone hacked her earbud and not only fed her misinformation. But also fun and hilarious sounds throughout!! ;D. The technology has evolved to the extent that you can't even see the earbuds. The Invisible Bluetooth Earpiece + Signal Button SPY Kit for Students NEW TECHNOLOGY!

Somebody send this to Trump, along with the radio frequencies .

>>The key part of that statement is: “without commercial breaks.” That only means no commercials. It doesn’t mean they won’t take a couple of breaks to allow the candidates (especially Hillary) to regroup. The moderator will then send it back to “our panel in the studio for some analysis of what we’ve seen so far” while the break is in progress.

Watch for it to play out EXACTLY as you described.

When she starts a coughing fit the screen should show the test pattern with the Indian Chief texting “Technical Difficulties, Pleas Stand By!”

She cannot levitate anymore? I am sure she could just float above the ground.

But she may need a broom as she loses her powers.

If Sickery can make it through standing up for 90 minutes without coughing fit, eye bug bobblehead or face plant they will have drugged her up so bad she won’t be much of a debater.

The over/under for Hillary to remain standing is 43 minutes.

Hillary is a Policy wonk. Unless she reverts to her Ex Mother In Law screeching, she will sound reasonable spouting he Marxist Lite Ideology.

I’m not sure how Trump’s “style” will work when the Hillary supporting Moderator will let her get away with her usual Liberal blather.

I will feel better after the first Debate is over. It’s do or die for Hillary, so she will pull out all the stops and I have no doubt the Moderator (the supposed Republican) will do whatever he can to go after Trump. Don’t doubt me.

We’ll see if Trump is up to the task. So far, he has been.

And note how she does an “eyes wide” as if to try to keep the eyes evenly engaged.

Actually a five minute break for both would not be out of line...1.5 hours is a long time.

The article further states that the stage is constructed so they are the same height. (If true)

That is probably it.

I would agree, so long as there are no monitors, just a timekeeper, and the topics are agreed.

Hillary will need to Gary Johnson Trump. She needs him to commit multiple “Aleppos” so that it is obvious he knows nothing and is ill-equipped for the job. My sense is the Dems have worked with the media in the past, we saw it in the DNC emails, we also saw Hillary tell Chris Matthews what to do, and now they will have a wired list of questions for things Trump will not know.

Trump’s reserve bombers: bring up the war on women, how it suddenly disappeared, or how peace was found when Romney lost. He should marvel how far the nation has come that the War on Women is over; even CGI contributor George Stephanopolis stopped talking about it; or else is it that the DNC can’t bring it up because Hillary was the Ghenghis Khan in the War on Women, for all the innocent women she slut shamed after her husband raped them.

Bring up how the uranium industry is now in the hands of Russia, and after Hillary approved the deal it just so happens 9 mining executives contributed $145 MM to the Clinton fund. But there is no smoking gun, just a bag of cash for selling the office of the secy of state.

Laureate College- $55MM US State Dept grant, and Bill gets paid $16MM in some no show job, and worst of all it is a for-profit college. Which all good liberals are supposed to despise. That dwarfs Trump U which may come up but it is not in the same class of the Clinton Kleptocrats.

“Trump should let her sit. The optics would be great. Maybe a rocking chair. And a shawl.”

Trump, “Of course Hillary can sit. FDR was in a wheelchair for 12 years.”

The toilet breaks on Debate Night are going to be interesting to watch. Old Hitlary better snap to it, to unload her spent package in her depends, or flush her colostomy devices, or whatever the heck she does in there that Trump once called “disgusting. you don’t wanna’ know it.”

From the article:

EDITOR'S NOTE: The presidential debate commission settled an early flashpoint when Clinton demanded a step-stool at the podium to add height to her 5'4" frame. Campaign Chairman John Podesta expressed concern that Hillary would be dwarfed by 6'2" Trump. The request was quickly rejected. The commission is allowing for a custom-made podium, which will accommodate the difference in stature.

Does this mean her podium will be 10" shorter? That wont make her look smaller...LOL

"If Sickery can make it through standing up for 90 minutes without coughing fit, eye bug bobblehead or face plant they will have drugged her up so bad she won’t be much of a debater."

All she will have to do is repeat the words transmitted to her hidden ear device. If she has practiced, it will be like reading a teleprompter. She just becomes a delivery device with brain not engaged.

This is precisely why Hillary turned to politics instead of comedy...she can’t do stand-up.
