Hillary Clinton explains her brief absence during Saturday’s debate

What viewers didn't know was the sole women's bathroom was a little further than the men's room from the stage. And when the debate went to a long commercial break Clinton lost out to Lis Smith, the caffeine-guzzling deputy campaign manager for former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley, who beat her to the restroom. Smith declined to comment for the story.

A top Clinton staffer who was strategically posted outside the bathroom (presumably to avoid these kinds of situations) gave Smith a verbal OK to make a quick pit stop, according to one person familiar with the ladies' line.

The women's room included multiple stalls, so it's not entirely clear why Clinton and Smith couldn't both use the facilities. Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill declined to comment for the story, but said there wasn't a security reason preventing the former secretary of state from sharing a bathroom.

Nevertheless, the hold up contributed to Clinton failing to make it back to the stage on time.

She made the same excuse in one of the prior debates.

This is deliberate and all part of “Operation Look at Me, I’m a Woman!”

She stands with the people but not in bathrooms. So to speak.

Now, how is the thing seriously to be considered as Presidential material when she can’t even properly schedule a bathroom break?

Another lie of course, evidence by the lack of any plausible explanation.

She's too good to sit on the throne with others in her presence.

Explanation: she had so much crap flying out of her during the first half that she had to use the bathroom and give her mouth a rest.

I suspect Clinton is sick and has major health problems.

She was in the hospital for a week as SOS for a stroke. There are rumors flying about her health.

That is what Trump is alluding to when he says she does not have the stamina or energy. Even when you look at her carefully you see she is struggling to hold it together.

Plus she is a pathological liar making things up during the debates and it is totally excused away.
