STRONGER TOGETHER

If presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton slips into a coughing fit or any other medical crisis during Monday's high-stakes debate, she will have to power through, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned!
"There are no commercial breaks," a commission source explains. "Period."
Debate moderator Lester Holt does not have the authority to cut away from the stage during the epic 90-minute showdown. And microphone audio for either of the candidates is not to be manipulated.
Clinton has experienced severe coughing episodes throughout the election year. During a Labor Day campaign stop she suffered a 4-minute choking marathon.
Monday's throwdown could top out at 100 million viewers, making it the biggest political event in history.
EDITOR'S NOTE: The presidential debate commission settled an early flashpoint when Clinton demanded a step-stool at the podium to add height to her 5'4" frame. Campaign Chairman John Podesta expressed concern that Hillary would be dwarfed by 6'2" Trump. The request was quickly rejected. The commission is allowing for a custom-made podium, which will accommodate the difference in stature.

HILARIOUS!
Well, someone is standing! Great image!
.@jmpalmieri on reports Trump might try to get under Clinton's skin during the debate: "Good luck."
Following the first debate, Clinton will pick up her campaign pace. Palmieri tells reporters HRC is expected to travel every day next week
Trump doing that without a word....priceless
LOL!
I heard Brit (not Bret) say last evening that the moderators were going to make the candidates fact check each other. No fact checking by the moderators. But, then, who knows woth the ear bud thing in Hillary’s ear.
Does Brit speak truths? He has not been on again for that long.
When I read “custom podium” I pictured one with a support post, and possibly a motorized lift...
Two misspellings and ugly punctuation in one post. Hang me!
The way this is laying out Trump needs to be careful.
I fully agree. All Donald Trump has to do is just appear reasonable no gaffs no snide or disparaging comments to Hillary. Just state his positions and keep it low-key. If he does all this he will come out ahead.
“This makes no sense. If she’s coughing, how can the debate continue. She’s not going to be speaking if she’s coughing and Trump won’t be speaking while she’s coughing.”
It’s great. Everyone gets to stand there, staring at her. I think Trump should not say a word, just stand there patting her on the back, looking very concerned.
You actually believe that? Really?
She will be fitted with a urine bag, a timed-release diazapam pump, look down at a blue colored light, paper, or podium, and show up all those “alt-right conspiracy loonies”.
Will it have a built in terlit?
STRONGER TOGETHER
I hope so. That way Trump can FLUSH her down the bowl after the debate.
Can you imagine the optics of Hillary hacking up a link and Trump calmly walking over and offering her a lozenge.
Now that my FRiends would be television history.
>>Yeah, I coughed. It’s my sinuses. It’s the weather. It wasn’t (ahem) intentional.”

“I’m allergic to Hillary Clinton!”
They will somehow find a way to rig the podium.
