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).

She’ll have no problem standing... well, unless they play the “The Star-Spangled Banner”.

Yeah and when she fills her depends, DJT should look over at her, pinch his nose and state “did somebody have an accident”. “Parents check your babies diapers”

What do ya wanna bet she has a sudden ‘relapse’ of pneumonia Sunday evening and pulls out?

Exactly. She doesn’t care what the rules are...because she won’t be there. And it’s a fine trap set for Trump, should he bite. If he even mentions her, he will be accused of every wrong the msm and the Dems can dream up, being so cruel to a “temporarily” ill woman.

I say she passes out at the 47-minute mark.

I say she won’t be there at all. Sudden relapse. A trap for Trump if he says anything at all about her.

I’m sorry to say but I think she will be in good shape for the debate. All this noise about her fainting and such is so much wishful thinking. It gives her an I told you so, which the media will jump on defending her. I hope I’m wrong though.

He doesn't have to. Think what would happen if he's there, the cameras are running, and she's not.

He could just stand there, silent...drumming his fingers, looking at his watch.

We all know Hillary has health issues but she had no problem in the last debate with Bernie standing for 2 hours so best just to assume she will make it thru and concentrate on the contents of the debate. I am hoping tho.

You’re right, but Hillary does seem to be going downhill much faster than anyone expected.

Actually, I don't think Trump has a very high bar to meet in this debate.

In a televised debate, being more entertaining can be as effective as being more on point when it comes to the issues.

Don King in his prime would have won every presidential debate, hands down -- and he'd even mispronounce a bunch of words along the way.

The last few “pressers” I have seen of Secretariat Clinton, it a looked as if the background was actually a blue background with different things walking through it in a loop — or — she was speaking and the audience applauded and whistled the exact same way, another loop. This thing is probably not living in our world at this time. Just a silly thought...
