LOL. Sounds like the WWF or a boxing title fight. You hype the audience viewership by creating a controversy. Sounds like Trump is using his marketing techniques.

we’ve practically handed her her “out” by the constant barrage of questioning her health...

I think she wants a five-minute break in the middle....just my humble opinion. Other than the sitting option, I can’t see what else might be changed here at the last minute.

Looked at the video supposedly showing odd eye movement. I don’t see it. She looks fine to me in the the linked vid.

Cheryl Mills has been given immunity on the email scandal according to Fox News.

She wants to ban close-ups of her earpieces.

OH SNAP!!! She found out that Trump was going to wear those tiny flashing lights on his tie and that triggers her brain seizures...

Well, back to the drawing board!!!

"Trump should let her sit. The optics would be great. Maybe a rocking chair. And a shawl."

LOL!

Got to love Rudy negotiating those rules.

I wasn't aware of that. As a tough old ex-DA, Rudy is the right man for the job.

Personally, I think if she wants to sit, Trump should go along with that. It’ll make him look like a nice, fair guy, and it will also give him an opportunity to make reference to it during the debate.

The mere fact that she’s seated while he’s standing would allow the audience to draw its own conclusions about her health issues.

I don’t see how it hurts him at all. Plus, he can probably use his willingness to accommodate her in order to negotiate some additional rule or rules that would be favorable to him.

I don’t see how he does anything but win in this situation.

“Hellary demands bathroom breaks after every topic.”

It would be funny if she left the podium for breaks, but Donald remained. Then when she returned, she’d be dragging along a few sheets of toilet paper on the heel of her shoe.

I’m betting it’s the stupid 2 minutes per question by each candidate and then “11 minutes of guided discussion by the moderator”.

No way I would EVER agree to that. That’s inviting them to attack Trump.

I would love to see Hitlery sit and Trump stand.

She, however, is likely insisting that Trump sit as well because of the unfair optics. She probably wants town hall style.

I believe that if Trump were to issue a statement requesting that his opponent be allowed to sit during the debate, he would come across to many as a ‘kinder and gentler’ guy. Plus, I’m thinking of the Kennedy/Nixon debate where Nixon’s perceived ‘unhealthiness’ helped Kennedy to win the debate.

I saw it would be a win-win!
