I suspect before any debate the Hillary camp will demand some type of staging which visually balances the two candidates. 6 foot 6 inch Fred v 5 foot 6 inch Hillary? She’d look like the troll she is well before she opens her mouth and proves it to the world.

Its pretty common actually, but its not done by elevation, but by putting in rules regarding camera placement. Basically, the camera angles are placed differently so the viewer doesn't notice the height differance unless the 2 interact.
Its also done to prevent distraction or ackwardness (some candidates are tall and some short, Kunich and Kerry would have looked bizarre side by side).
