DEBATE RULES: NO COUGHING BREAKS
Drudge ^ | 9/23/2016

Posted on 09/23/2016 8:44:19 AM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

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.

The lap dog media wouldn’t ask her about it, even after seeing clear, indisputable evidence of her wearing the device?

I bet she covers her ears to conceal it. I hope Rudy Guliani knows some police friends who have the technical knowledge to jam that thing.

Now that I’ve thought about it a little more, I’m going to see if there’s a way to send the debate commission an email about this.

It turns out that there is a phone number and an email address for the debate commission. So if you have any questions or concerns.....

LOL!

I thought she’d pull away, looking bitchy. That would help his poll numbers.

If they are building a special platform for Hillary to stand on, then it's doubtful the will sit down during the debate. Can you imagine her climbing up and down the podium all night?

Question is - can Hillary stand for 90 minutes?

It really makes Hillary more likeable to see her helping those two men up the steps.

So Hitlery wants a level playing field, except that her end needs to be raised higher to accommodate her inadequacy? Am I understanding this correctly?

Great idea.

Mine was to intercept the frequency and to pre-empt her handlers’ advice with someone else’s advice.

But your broadcasting idea might even be better.

Surely there is someone that can either hack into her ear-feed or disable it.

They have electronic units that blocks cell phone usage, this should be easy for a tech to do

It’d be cool to feed her some great lines.

(Or just blast TRUMPTRUMPTRUMPTRUMP on a loop...)

Maybe get HER to say “Hillary For Prison!”

No bathroom breaks either?????? 90 minutes CAN be a long time not going to the bathroom.
