Podium: what you stand on.
Lectern: What you stand behind which holds your notes and liquor glass.
Will she also need a safety harness and the lectern bolted to the stage so she doesn't pull it over on herself when she passes out?
The put some nice round details on the sides of those lecterns so Hillary can use them as handrails in the event she gets the vapors.
Yes, the smaller podium is likely hers. They’ll hardly ever both be shown in the same shot. Proportionally, the two candidates will appear to be of equal height because the visual cue will be how tall they seem in their respective podiums.
I really don’t see what the big deal is here...
Since this is a TV event very little time will be with both on the screen at the same time...
I hope Trumps people check the lighting.... That will have a much bigger impact on how the viewers see the two...
She will have farther to fall from her elevated platform.

Elevated platform? I thought the Debate Commission ruled against that request. No?
Wonder what will be happening that we won't know about. Secret signals, wiring, etc.? Everything h - ILL - ary does is for her benefit to the detriment of everyone else.
Trump should bring his own gilded leaf podium.
I don’t give two hoots about the size of the podium. But I sure do hope that our team has access to some sort of device to jam the transmission of info to her ear piece.
The larger one would be for Trump, hillary would look dwarfed behind it.
The only question left after your helpful post is:
Do the media and semi-literates hereabouts make this simple English usage error more frequently or less frequently than referring to concrete as cement? (you can't skin your knee on cement)
Exactly.
Love your tagline.
I read that too. An elevated platform would look wrong anyway. It would be like she had a small upper body and long legs. That’s how Dukakis looked in 1988.
I think that will make her look smaller, this is going to be funny
>>>Podium: what you stand on. Lectern: What you stand behind which holds your notes and liquor glass.
In the photo there are two lecterns and a box. Unless the box is a podium and Donald doesn’t get a box...
Omg, debating in her housecoat!!!!! I’m crying to death laughing!!!!
You’re right, but in practice the word “podium” often gets used (or misused if you insist) to refer to a lectern.
I am literally crying. Weeping with mirth. Rofl!!!
What a horrible message Pickles is sending to all of us out there who are shorter than she is. Are we supposed to feel ashamed of our height and try to pretend to be taller?
She can’t be honest about ANYTHING!!
Wouldnt a larger podium make her appear smaller?

Yes.
