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 roll out sitting on a Scooter, from the Scooter Store all at no cost to her completely paid for by medicare.

She will then play the handicapped card, demanding extra time and the ability to phone a friend for answers. Her campaign will pack the event with people from the local convalescent center.

Will her attire be a Hoover vacuum bag or a Motel 6 shower curtain at the debate?

They better check her ears. She can’t do a debate without being fed info.

In the town hall debate, Trump should be quick and nimble when jumping up to answer questions. I suspect after Hitlery sits for 10 minutes she gets stiff and sore and is slow to move when she first gets up.

Hildabeast wont’ have to stand for 90 minutes. There are breaks every 15 minutes. I’d bet my house there are no steps between the stage and backstage.

Good first step, and now what needs addressed is that damned earphone the nazi bitch uses.

What are the odds we won’t see at least one of the following: bug eye, bobblehead, coughing fit, face plant?

There is a lot of news cycles between now and Monday...a lot of lies can be told by her minions...I just don’t see how she can do 90 mins.

Hillary! will be fitted with a state-of-the-art exoskeleton and will chase Trump around the stage

"C'mere, Donald!"

But Trump will have his own, rocket powered!

“Between the oxygenated transfusions and the powerful drugs, she’ll make it through.”

She’ll probably slip backstage at every commercial break to get ‘pumped up’.

I’ll bet you bookies are doing a crazy amount of business over the question of her stamina in the debates.
