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.

WHO cares? Does anyone actually care?

I didn’t watch even one minute of that debate.

Another reason against a woman president. Women can’t “hold it” as long.

Clinton is simply not healthy enough to be President. She appears to be drugged most of the time.

Her lesbian lover, Huma, mentioned in an email that the woman ain’t right in the head. She probably stood there looking at those blue and white placards on the doors thinking, “Wait. What?”

being an old guy, I can appreciate taking a long time to pee.

But, being an old guy...I got over the shy-bathroom stuff when I was in third or fourth grade.

I was actually reading something the other day where kids today are shocked by old guys walking around in the locker rooms at gyms without their clothes on.

What the hell is wrong with the world. I dont want to get dressed in a shower for gods sake.

She needed to chug the pint of vodka in private so she’d be able to finish the debate.
