If presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton slips into a coughing fit or any other medical crisis during Monday's high-stakes debate, she will have to power through, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned!
"There are no commercial breaks," a commission source explains. "Period."
Debate moderator Lester Holt does not have the authority to cut away from the stage during the epic 90-minute showdown. And microphone audio for either of the candidates is not to be manipulated.
Clinton has experienced severe coughing episodes throughout the election year. During a Labor Day campaign stop she suffered a 4-minute choking marathon.
Monday's throwdown could top out at 100 million viewers, making it the biggest political event in history.
EDITOR'S NOTE: The presidential debate commission settled an early flashpoint when Clinton demanded a step-stool at the podium to add height to her 5'4" frame. Campaign Chairman John Podesta expressed concern that Hillary would be dwarfed by 6'2" Trump. The request was quickly rejected. The commission is allowing for a custom-made podium, which will accommodate the difference in stature.

So in classic weasel fashion the result is the same.
Is Clinton paid liar Mike McCurry still on the commission?
These rules are Sexist, obviously.
Give Hillary a break. Her falls were due to Kneemonia. Bill of course suffers from Dicktheria!
Someone needs to bring a portable jamming device to disrupt the earpiece.
They will have to medicate Hillary so much.
OH BOY!!!
We are not choosing an NBA Center! Height does not matter, however, "...the difference in stature" sure does!
If this is really the case I predict she’ll cancel at the last minute for an obviously bogus reason.
No way her campaign will take that chance.

Dear Lord, I hope her obvious infirmities are exposed big time Monday night and she is granted no mercy!!!
She’ll find a way to weasel out and not hold the debates.
Is Hillary allowed to be seat-belted to her podium?
Sounds like just a shorter lectern to match her height?
Fine. Now stand up.
Cough hillary like you’ve never coughed before! And make sure you hack into the mike.
If the podium is the trade off for no breaks then we come out way ahead. I don't see the difference in height making a difference to anyone.
Hey, it would be cute to see Clinton at tall podium, just her eyes showing.
“Someone needs to bring a portable jamming device to disrupt the earpiece.”
A sparkgap machine in a vehicle outside could do the trick, not to mention they provide LOUD ticks in electronics.
