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.

That would mean that she slept with Bill at least once.

Has there ever been any evidence of that?

I thought it did not matter who used what bathroom.

Did she not “identify” with that current bathroom?
She could have used the men's’ room according to leftist scripture.

Couldn't find a tree?
What...was there a line of dogs at the hydrant?

snorkel..snorkel...

Thats it. Remember the stories about how she won’t permit underlings to look her in the eye?

Same thing. She can’t be expected to use the facilities with the little people.

It also wouldn’t surprise me of the O’Malley staffer did it on purpose.

If she is so sick, who is the vice president, who is going to be the real president, when she resigns due to ill health?

During commercial break, Hillary 2.0 went into sleep mode and wouldn’t wake. Her staff had to do a full reboot. That always takes awhile.

Someone was dropping off a check for the Clinton Foundation and she wanted to make sure it got deposited immediately. Got to have your priorities straight.

“the sole women’s bathroom was a little further than the men’s room from the stage. “

So it was set up to be unfair to her because of her gender!
A convenient excuse.
