Clinton Camp Asks for Change to Handshake Protocol at Final Debate: Report
The Hill via FoxNews ^ | October 19, 2016 | The Hill Staff

Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign has asked to change the setup of the pre-debate greetings on Wednesday night, The New York Times reports.

At previous debates, the spouses of both candidates have met to shake hands. But this time around, former President Bill Clinton and Melania Trump will enter the debate hall in a way that avoids having the families cross paths.

Two people with direct knowledge of the situation told the Times that the Clinton camp requested the change after the last debate, after GOP nominee Donald Trump invited three women who’ve accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault to attend as his guests.

Maybe she’s concerned Trump will deliver a crusher handshake? Or, use a buzzer?

More creepy crap from the creepy witch.
There must be a strange evil wind to see so many fans of her. And then you got sheeples who “feel baaaaaad” because of Trump comments on women. When in reality the greedy sucubus parasitic creep is Hillary.

You wont hear directly from her “grab the Americans by the throat”, but that is what she is all about.: deniability

So another plastic handshake for a plastic creepy sucubus needy sticky face.... disgusting

“Bill Clinton and Melania Trump will enter the debate hall in a way that avoids having the families cross paths”

Should read:

“Melania Trump will enter the debate hall under tight security to prevent potential sexual assault on her by Hillary Clinton’s husband.”

This is why early elections are a FRAUD! and a denying of free speech and examination. People should have the full picture before voting!

We don’t need a snowflake, scaredy cat for a president in these times. What’s Hillary gonna say after Trump mops the floor with her tonight? That he gave her a menacing stare?

Hillary has left the kitchen.....too hot...

All it does is reinforce her vulnerability.

Hillary and Melania side by side. Hillary must hate to see them in the same frame.

Where do you think Hillary and Bubba will go to vacation after Trump takes the White House by a land slide?

Not a very presidential move - what if she has to shake Putin’s hand?

Maybe Bill is being a pill about it.

But more likely the Dems are just looking for something else that might draw an off-message response from Trump.

She and Trump didn't shake hands at the last debate, I doubt they will shake at this one.
