Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump will stand behind lecterns for the first debate on Monday at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York, the Commission on Presidential Debates confirms.
The commission told Breitbart News on Thursday that the first debate will require both candidates to stand. The second, to be held Oct. 9 at Washington University in St. Louis, will be in a town hall format, meaning that candidates may stand when it is their turn to speak, and sit when they are done. (In 2012, the second debate, also in town hall format, featured some infamous exchanges where both Gov. Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama were standing and arguing with each other).

She’ll have to wear some sort of iron back brace - if she stays on her feet for ninety minutes all we’ll hear for the next six weeks will be about how healthy and fit she is to be president......
To: TennTuxedo
She better be wearing the XXL urine bag and extra absorbent Depends.

I wonder how it would be if Trump stood for the entire town hall debate.
Especially is Illary has her pillow(s)
To: TennTuxedo
Viewers like those here will not be listening to anything she says.
We will be looking for the cross eyes, drifting eyes, head bobbing,
knees buckling etc.
She won’t have her SS agents or voodoo Doctor to lean on.
I hope Trump is prepared with a reaction if she collapses.
Something like “is there a doctor in the house”.
or “somebody please call the morgue”.

“Hillary can always use her broomstick to prop her up.”
I was thinking there’d be a more efficient way to keep her standing using a broomstick. But your way works too.
To: faithhopecharity
They could Velcro her to the podium.

Hillary hasnt done 90 minutes standing much. Maybe at the convention?At 80 minutes they should drop balloons.

She can wear a Diazapam pump.
She will be okay. Wasted, but okay.
This should be interesting.
The media will praise her for simply standing through it regardless of what she says.
Recent lowering of expectations are one thing they are counting on.

Or have her connected to cables hanging from the ceiling — like Mary Martin used in Peter Pan.
