This is ridiculous. Trump is who he is and Clinton is who she is.

...The commission is allowing for a custom-made podium, which will accommodate the difference in stature.

Will Trump demand both candidates be scanned for electronic listening devises and ear inspections?

I don’t see it in the article, but it should be done.

With today’s advanced technology, scanning for electronic listening devices/ear examinations should be mandatory.

A step-stool might have been interesting, she would be required to get up on it and off it all by herself. Could she actually balance on a small step-stool without falling off for 90 minutes?

During the Ford-Carter debate in 1976, Carter, who was much shorter than Ford, at first demanded that Ford stand in some sort of hole to make him match Carter’s height. Ford’s people responding by saying that Carter could stand on a box. The problem was solved with each candidate got a podium that came up to their belt buckle.

I’ll be in a minority, perhaps alone, on this thought; hillary should be allowed to use a stool. For one reason, it would be really, really cool if she fell off the stool. For another, her supporters won’t be able to rationalize a bad performance because the meanies in charge force her to stand for 90 minutes.

What do you want to bet that Hillary’s ears will be completely covered by her hair this time. When Matt Lauer interviewed her she made the mistake of not hiding the device. She won’t do that again.

Sure, as long as Trump gets one too.

They should install one of these at her podium.

They already absolved her of multiple federal felonies.

Now she literally wants them to change her appearance so she can compete?

She’s already a stool sample.
