Hillary and the Debate Rules (She struck out)
The American Thinker ^ | September 24, 2016 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 09/24/2016 9:18:26 AM PDT by onyx



Against expectations, the Presidential Debate Commission has adopted rules that do not favor Hillary Clinton.  She will have to stand the entire 90 minutes.  With no stool.  And no commercial breaks.  Her campaign’s request that she have a booster to make her appear close in height to Donald Trump was turned down.

She struck out.

An hour and a half under bright lights, facing pure stress, gravity pressing her body onto her legs and feet, staying balanced the whole time.

Worrying about a seizure.

Look for one or more bathroom breaks.  Then look for claims she took meds when she went to the little girls' room.

How could this have happened to Our Gal Hill? Lifezette told us a week ago:

I hope she coughs, is unsteady, becomes incoherent, etc.

But I’m not sure it’s going to happen. It’s do or die for her. They’ll pull out all the stops to avoid it.

I think eventually there will be more problems like the 9-11 collapse...especially in light of how the campaign will intensify. But I’m not counting on it happening Monday... But damn I hope it does.

Very good point. Many with neurological diseases do much better in cooler temps. I have MS...any temp over 75 degrees and my neuro symptoms flare up.

If she does indeed have some sort of neuro problem, the problems she exhibited on 9/11 at the service, could be due to warmer temps (it was nearing 80, IIRC).

One of the standard tests for MS in the years before MRIs was called the Hot Bath Test...they would put a person with suspected disease into a hot water bath, if they lost function after the bath, they slapped a diagnosis on them. But the heat intolerance is an issue with many neuro diseases other than MS.

That doesn’t matter. What matters is looking like God and not like Satan.

So sad, maybe Mrs. Bill Clinton should go to the mountains for awhile, a good long while. ;-)

The problem with a progressive illness is that it is progressive.

Couldn't happen to a better progressive.

Trump needs to bit his lip and restrain his attacks so that he does not appear to be pouncing a wounded animal, if she starts exhibiting symptoms of a medical episode of some kind. That could backfire badly, if not handled correctly.

Taking the high road would make him appear the leader he is, instead of the tough-talking, name-calling New York real estate developer he was in the GOP primaries.

In short, Trump needs to be magnanimous when it is appropriate. His actions and responses will let people see that he is a leader, and in turn, their next president.

Let ILLiary self-destruct on her own. Chances are that she will self-immolate sometime during those 90 minutes.

It does matter very much. Hillary is a liar, a secular progressive, and a psychopath who craves power. She has a visceral hatred of conservatives and will squash our rights from the instant she achieves power. To think otherwise is sheer naivete.

She does not deserve any special treatment that will facilitate her evil ambitions.

I don’t see Hillary having any health fail. She went through what? 12 hours of grilling on Capital Hill? I think everyone expecting her to twitch, seize, faint, collapse, vomit, die, etc. on camera are setting Hillary up for a win, by just standing there for a mere 90 minutes.

“Like Trump running over cradling her head”

Not a Chance! He would be foolish not to let her “staff” take charge of her care if it comes to that. He should just stand there as an onlooker with the look of concern on his face! He should never give Hillary any “ammunition” to use in the future. He could perform CPR on her and save her life, and she would end up accusing him of feeling her up (as if that would be a reasonable expectation!

That is exactly why we want to contrast her to a Godly, and not a Satanic, demeanor.

That’s why it does not matter the excuses you give to be Satanic towards her.

God will show, that even WITH anything that any reasonable civilized person might want today (and that includes the known history of FDR), she does not have the right ideas and the right motives to lead the country in the way of His grace.

Jesus: “Can Satan drive out Satan?”

Overplaying a hand has a way of throwing it away.

In case you hadn’t noticed, Trump is a fighter and a counter puncher of the first order. He plays to win and knows how to do it. He got where he is by demolishing both buildings and his political opponents.

Mitt Romney and other Republicans were losers for a reason.

Too bad it is only a fake.

In case you hadn’t noticed, Trump is not totally no-holds-barred when it comes to affairs public. He knows when to be a gentleman. He knows that being too ruthless will blow back on him, sure as there is a God in heaven. Even in the controversial cases, he offered the woman he was trying to buy out a fortune.

Mitt did not believe in his cause; it was not a matter of lacking some unconstrained “forcefulness.”

And God will not look kindly upon us expecting Donald Trump to be an idol of unconstrained meanness.

The ancient Israelites believed in a ruthless idol, thinking so often that this was the way to victory. It was called Moloch. God’s answer to that was to let their enemies win.

What if her head starts spinning around again, like in the exorcist movie?

What would it matter if you won the world by trying to outdo the world on the world’s terms, only to find you had thrown your soul away? If Jesus says this, and Jesus is only Savior, you can take that to heaven’s bank. The rage of Satan will only be a transient burden, then heaven forever will await.

I can rebuke you, but I cannot force you to believe. However I hope to at least get others to think who are watching this, rather than going down your road of worship of ruthlessness.

YES, the people we are fighting are ruthless. That’s EXACTLY why we don’t want to get swallowed up in it. That will make us their friends in evil in the end, because the puppet master is stronger than both they and we are.

Do not care if I get flamed, but I buy none of this. As long as she doesn’t faceplant into the stage and remains moderately coherent she will “win” the debate because the bar has now been set so low. If Trump comes off even mildly offensive the howls will drown out any points he makes. Remember Lazio in 2000. All he did was walk over and ask her to sign a pledge. The women I worked with acted like he was the Boston Strangler. I just think this first debate prelim talk has been nothing more than Democrat rope a dope. Hope I am wrong, but I don’t think I am.
