Before Monday night’s presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, it was announced that Clinton would have a custom-made podium, to compensate for her short stature beside Trump.
Now a video is circulating that suggests there may have been other customized features within the custom-designed podium. A light is seen in Clinton’s podium, suggesting it could be a teleprompter. And officials are seen several times removing things from her podium after the debate.
The allegations have not been confirmed – nor denied. But the video does bring up many serious questions.
Yes, like why do these pseudo debates?
noun
a small platform on which a person may stand to be seen by an audience, as when making a speech or conducting an orchestra.
lec·tern
noun
a tall stand with a sloping top to hold a book or notes, and from which someone, typically a preacher or lecturer, can read while standing up.
Forget the podiums ,just give them a Clipboard and a Pencil
It has already been disclosed that Trump had a defective mic, Illary appeared to be signaling Holt, and Trump received more cross checking and interruptions during the debate. And that is what is obvious...
The entire debacle was rigged, and debate #2 will be worse.
AWWWwwwww JEEEEEESSS!!!! get more votes, overcome, adapt and win. No more whining. Gosh so what yer saying is hillary is corrupt, fake and power hungry. uh huh.
So Trump’s people are not allowed to check his microphone for problems or check Hillary’s podium for things that shouldn’t be there? Of course, that would go both ways. Seems like that should be standard.
How many decades have Republicans been getting kicked around on these debates ?????
Spinlessness!
Up to Trump’s party to make sure she has no earpieces and other aids. This should have been done before the first debate.
Where’s Rinse Pubiss when ypu need him ???
Trump and his people were THERE. They should have seen this and publicly inquired about it live on national tv
Why can’t he just walk over and check out her podium?
He could say, “Illary, check my podium and I’ll check yours so everyone will be satisfied that all is copisetic. Let’s check ears, and mics while we’re at it.”
If it were anyone but Hillary I would assume it was part of the stage lighting to minimize facial shadows.
The language is dying.....
“debate #2 will be worse”
Anderson Pooper and Martha Rattitz? You dam right.
Lester “I Heart Hillary” Holt was a “Republican” and “impartial”.
I wonder what that guy passed off to Lester Holt.
Trump should make a campaign video of the seconds when Billy Jeff glanced over his shoulder twice and gave a thumbs up. He then looked at Hillary and they embraced at the lectern. It was so obvious they were trying to prevent the cameras from seeing what the cleaner was getting out of the lectern. Their full character was on display here and the debate commission does nothing. This should go viral.
