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.
Seriously. Maybe the RNC should not have turned that down.
Fine, give Trump a step stool too. Equality, right libs?
You misunderstand. I was leading FReepers to other comments on the same subject. Wasn’t addressed to you.
“I think all of this talk is setting the bar too low. Something tells me she will be jut fine and thus exceed expectations. That will be the story as the media covers the debate. Take it to the bank.”
Of course, if she does that, or anything close to that, again then they will have just made Trump the POTUS. I’m not expecting it, but I’m hoping for it...in the 3rd debate, when it’ll REALLY be too late to substitute anyone for the Witch with any expectation of success.
She has an IQ off the charts.
She is the most experienced, knowledgeable candidate in history. She’s been a senator, a first lady, a secretary of state.
No way she should be considered other than the huge favorite against a guy who’s never been a politician in his entire life.
She will be ok as long as they keep her glass of white port full.
The commission told Breitbart News on Thursday that the first debate will require both
candidates to stand. The second, to be held Oct. 9 at Washington University in St. Louis,
will be in a town hall format, meaning that candidates may stand when it is their turn to speak,
and sit when they are done. According to the commission, it is not yet clear whether the
candidates will be standing or sitting for the third debate,

The commission is allowing for a custom-made podium, which will accommodate the difference in stature. ... Again, correct decision. She doesn't need a mic poking her in the eye.
No problem. I asked the mods to take mine down.
The other was up first and it was within the 3 hour rule, so no big deal. Them’s the rules. :>)
She could wear 6 inch heels with platforms.
She could also get a beehive hairdo.
Yes, it would be terrible optics if she forgets she's up there and falls off. :-)
What about stool samples?
“She has an IQ off the charts.” That is a fiction well pushed by media ...
The democrat nominee IS a STOOL.
With 70+ comments on this thread, you ask the mod to take it down?
Why do that? A “three-hour rule”? “Them’s the rules”?
You okay?
A step-stool and two guys to help her get on it.
