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.

A podium to raise the odium!
Well considering the lengths they do go I would not be surprised.......but she’s still going to have to be hooked up to hear anything rigged in that.....probably she has a co-earplant type of thing so they can pipe it right in....she’s certainly had time to be fitted for it.
Looks that way......but I’m not exactly clapping either.
>>I do predict she will be fine during the debate. Everyone is joking about her fainting or falling over. She’s got this. 90 minutes. There will be no cough. She will sound fresh as a daisy listening to her earpiece. Low expectations for her only help her.
I hope I am wrong tho. I’d like an exploding pee bag, one eye wandering off the stage, and a grand mal seizure. But I think she will pull it off “well” with help from an earpiece and lots of happy juice.

This is what I believe as well.

No doubt Killery would do her husband in for political gain!
It’s OK - she prefers vodka.
So in classic weasel fashion the result is the same.
>>The camera won’t be on Clinton.

Which is why, as soon as she falls, (if she does, of course), DJT will be quick to speak: “Is there a doctor in the house to help Mrs. Clinton?”
I hope he calls her Mrs. Clinton because it is said she despises being called by that name.
Or better yet, state for the listening audience exactly what has happened (ex. She has fallen, can someone provide her assistance?) so that the whole episode can not be denied when they erase it from the net.
>>I pictured one with a support post, and possibly a motorized lift...

And two “arms” that reach out and grab her legs to keep her upright, if needed.
“Press the blue button”, says the voice on the earbud. “Keep talking, you can do this. We’re not going anywhere.”
Yes, I do. They even named the person in there.
And, it's typical behavior for Her Heinous.
I am lucky to get on here. Thank you for the info!
Does that mean Bret is voting for Donald Trump? I hope so. I did buy Bret’s cookbooks...
So what if they named the person THEY say was in there?
How about this. She had a medical episode then similar too her collapse on 9/11?
Will we get to see her handlers help her up onto the raised podium so she doesn’t look shorter that Trump? It would be bad if she stumbled. I would insist on no earpieces and having candidates prove they aren’t wearing one.
True!
Trump speaking of the secret service: “Stay calm ladies and gentlemen these people are professionals”.
That's exactly what's going to happen. The TPTB are going to make sure that this will happen. President Clinton. Mark my words.
I think she will be fine with the cough, but what I do think is possible is that she will be juiced up enough that it will have her heart racing. I halfway expect to see more of the same yelling kind of indignation she had when talking to the unioners. She’ll be thinking she looks and sounds tough, but it will come across as out of control and entitled. Not presidential. She’ll overcompensate somehow and it will show. At least, that’s what I’m hoping for. I’m praying that *something* will happen that will make it obvious to everyone watching that she isn’t fit for the job as POTUS.
Agreed - except for the patting on the back part. She’d probably charge him with sexual harassment.
I tend to not agree that she has it under control. She must drink almost every time she speaks. Her rallies only last 20 minutes because its a strain on her voice and swallowing. As I mentioned she drank at least 10 times during one debate before the rest room break. Coughing in her situation can not be controlled if she is speaking a lot. I could be wrong.
I also noticed she must constantly move her head from side to side as she talks and move her hands too. I think its something to do with more focus to herself than the people in the crowd as to not set off a seizure.
