DEBATE RULES: NO COUGHING BREAKS
Drudge ^ | 9/23/2016

Posted on 09/23/2016 8:44:19 AM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

If presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton slips into a coughing fit or any other medical crisis during Monday's high-stakes debate, she will have to power through, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned!

"There are no commercial breaks," a commission source explains. "Period."

Debate moderator Lester Holt does not have the authority to cut away from the stage during the epic 90-minute showdown. And microphone audio for either of the candidates is not to be manipulated.

Clinton has experienced severe coughing episodes throughout the election year. During a Labor Day campaign stop she suffered a 4-minute choking marathon.

Monday's throwdown could top out at 100 million viewers, making it the biggest political event in history.

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.

It still won’t matter. She will say nothing new or meaningful or substantial. Best case scenario for Hillary is she stays the same.

What are the rules regarding earpieces?


The public needs to know these rules. Because she has been wearing one. She is doing very well with it. IF THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED, HOW ARE THE CANDIDATES CHECKED? I’d like them checked in front of the cameras.

I hope the Trump team has a way to jam them.

No way she can just quit the debate. No reason could be good enough.


Bill “dying” in the hospital - or even Chelsea or one of the grandkids seriously ill.

The “Doppelganger Theory” has been on my mind a long time now. Apparently it has been disproven with computer imagery.

I wonder whether the inside of the “custom-made podium” (which presumably includes the lectern) will be coated in cobalt blue? Or will cobalt blue be incorporated into the surroundings?

My brother tried climbing down a ladder from the second floor of an office building. And the latch holding the extension came loose.

His choice was to break is neck or his legs. He chose his legs.

Will we have any proof that it is really Hillary at the debate and not one of her “body doubles”?

Wouldn’t it be funny if they said, “Yeah, we will give you a stool.”

And then they brought out a stool sample....

You mean she’ll just have to “power through” herSELF?! :)

Seriously, though, I have only seen discrepancies, not “proof” that all these Hitlery’s are the same.

Do you have a link to such?

The special made podium having an elevated standing area, of about a foot or so will only make her fall that much harder and more difficult to recover from.

The old bat might even break some bones. They should outfit her with LifeCall, so all she has to do is shout: “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up”.

...."No bathroom breaks? At least Hill has that handy catheter and bag"..... She'll likely show up in the long full coats she wears to conceal whatever........if it's not a fitted pantsuit then she's hiding something.

Which one will she wear???

Climbing up to the big podium might prove to be a chore for her thighness

Not with me at this moment, but I am pretty sure I can get it. If this thread is gone by then, I will send it to you. Okay?

Trump just needs to play this cool. Let her cough or collapse. If she coughs, stay silent. If she collapses act somewhat concerned, not disinterested.
