What's all this about an ear 'mic'??
...never mind

The presidential debate moderators will not be allowed to wear earpieces, according to published reports.
But what about the presidential candidates themselves?
A voter in Maryland wrote Federal Elections Commissioner Matthew Petersen on Sept. 8 seeking a "clear response" to that question.
"I read reports that during the televised event questioning each of the candidates on their qualifications to serve as Commander in Chief, that Secretary Clinton had a microphone in her ear to receive prompting and guidance from advisers off stage," wrote Laurence B of Columbia, MD.
[A check of his name and address at the Maryland State Board of Elections Internet site verified the writer's identity as a registered voter.]
"Surely this is a more serious violation of competition than the doping which the Olympics have had to clean up. ... Can you please confirm that your commission will take conclusive steps to ensure that no such cheating takes place during the debates?" the letter concluded.
When he received no response to his letter, he wrote again on Sept. 21: "I've got to say I'm really discouraged not to have received a confirmation from you or from your office that your policy will be to disallow the two candidates to wear ear microphones. Am I to interpret your lack of a response to mean that such behavior will, indeed be accepted?"

Or hijacking the signal and providing some seriously brutal heckling. Lol!
Thanks for the link to Doctor Raoul’s tribute. Lots of funny in there!

Good points.
Read the article, people. This is a travesty. The commission won’t even say whether they allow or forbid them or how they would police it. I agree this is worse than doping at the Olympics.
This needs to go viral. The commission needs to speak about this. Hillary has won’t an earpiece several times recently. She is getting good at it.
Hillary will wear a Mao collared knee length thick jacket, either in a burlap style plaid knit or a wooly tarp in a solid color. Underneath will be pants with a generous width to allow for a bag of urine strapped to one leg. She will wear low heeled shoes and her hair will be covering her ears, one of which has a tiny earpiece in it. She will wear pearl earrings and necklace, and of course a wedding ring.
Yes, liberals are from a different planet. It’s the only reasonable explanation.
"Underneath will be pants with a generous width to allow for a bag of urine strapped to one leg."
She talks out of her butt so much she needs a “rear” mic.
Putting a mic in your ear doesn’t sound very effective.

LOL... You beat me to it, mlo! I was reading the thread to see if anyone else picked up on that.
It’d be a good way to catch what Joe Biden is saying when he’s “talking” to the women that attend his public appearances.
Microphones are for capturing sound, as in newsrooms, and athletic announcers. Ear buds are for playing sound. Ergo, why would anyone wear an ear mic(rophone)?
Ok, I’m going to say something really nerdy:
A speaker and a microphone are the same thing; an electromagnetic transducer. It’s like the two paper cups at each end of a string. The cups can be both a microphone and a speaker.
It would be easy to convert one to the other.
.Hmmm...secret mic?
seconded.
Seriously, someone needs to get a spark gap generator and use it in the parking lot of the place. It will jam her earpiece guaranteed.

It would help the rest of us to also know what the voices in her head are saying! :)
