Commission: Both Candidates Must Stand for First Debate
Breitbart ^ | September 22, 2016 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 09/22/2016 4:32:36 PM PDT by TennTuxedo

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump will stand behind lecterns for the first debate on Monday at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York, the Commission on Presidential Debates confirms.

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. (In 2012, the second debate, also in town hall format, featured some infamous exchanges where both Gov. Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama were standing and arguing with each other).

Would a stand up cardboard cutout of Hellary pass muster?

It must mean that HRC’s doctors found her some stronger medicine which will now enable her to stand for 90 minutes, plus 2 more to walk off the stage.

I used to know someone whose father was around Wobblies. Apparently, she could not get him or any other adult from that period to talk about the s#it that went on, for fear of getting killed-even then.

“Hillary standing for 90 minutes? Oh yes, this could be interesting.”

Will her big black voodoo daddy be standing next to her during the debate?

Will they wheel Hillary’s lectern out before coverage starts with her cargo strapped to the back?

I don't thin Illary can stand for fifteen minutes. We'll have the moderator, in his best Howard Cosell voice, going:

"Down goes Illary! Down goes Illary!"

Yes, this is something few people on our side have considered. Hitlery DID go through a few debates with Bernie, though not as many. And she was effectively drugged enough to sit through several hours of questioning by Congress.... though of course she was sitting....

Nevertheless, we should not think she is a pushover. Her lust for power is unparalleled in the last 20 years or so..... she will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals.

You should read Gary Byrnes book. He was a WH SS agent during the Lewinski thing. He was terrified during that time. He was called to testify. You can feel his fear reading his book.

Yes, but under the Americans with Disabilities Act, there must be reasonable accommodations.
