DEBATE RULES: NO COUGHING BREAKS: Clinton demands a step-stool at debate podium to add height...
Drudge ^ | 23 Sep 16 | Drudge

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.

I agree all this health crap is to escape questions on the emails. She will do just fine. The stage is set to see a sick oh women and she won’t be.

don’t let HilLIARY up on a stool, she’s likely to hurt herself even worse falling down off it

surround her floor area there with nice soft fluffy padding to help break her falls

allow her two big bruiser body guards (including the guy with the injector full of Zombie Reanimiation Juice) to stand next to her, flanking her, bracing her up

if she has another extended coughing spasm, break to vidos of her successes in public service.... such as a view of her “family foundation” bank balance ... and her cakakourous laughing at the consequences of her illegal bombing of Libya...

It would fit the pattern. We’ve seen big setups like that before.

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

I take that to mean either a shorter platform or a custom built platform that she ramps up to. If they don’t spell it out, then I’m sure she’ll go with the second.

“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?”

That was my first thought - let her have a stool and try to stand perfectly still for 90 minutes. It would be fun to watch.

Trump is 6-0, not 6-2.

He was 6-2

I agree. She will make it through the 90 minutes without undue distress, and the media will herald this as a sign of triumph. Low bar indeed, but that's what you need with the Clintons.

“”Clinton demands a step-stool at debate podium to add height...””

Will she have two goons holding her arms so she doesn’t fall off?

I’m guessing a shorter podium for her and the camera angles set to disguise the fact. One thing a person must do during a 90 minute debate is move around a bit, up to the podium, back from it, side-to-side, etc. Remaining inert would be too dangerous to her circulatory system ... and her cankles could swell to noticeable size even under her pantlegs over her tiny feet.

He was the 2nd tallest until Jeb quit. My guess is that he’s over 6 foot and with shoes, he’s 6’2”.
