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).

Even FDR was able to “stand” for long periods on his custom full length leg braces.

Ninety minutes on your feet while debating; no problem for Trump but Hillary...? Every eye will be watching for telltale life support bulges beneath her dirigible size pantsuit.

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

A Diazapam pump won’t keep her eyes from drifting out of sync.

I'm taking bets on which Hillary will show up at the Monday debate:

Will it be the manic, head bobbing, arm flailing, wide unfocused eyed Hillary we saw at the Union Fundraiser this week?

or

Monotone, sagging face, zombie Hillary who made the statement about the New York terrorist attacks?

Personally I'm guessing she will be so pumped full of "uppers" she will start out as "manic" Hillary, but as the evening wears on she will transition to "zombie" Hillary as the meds wear off, unless perhaps there is an intermission and they can "top her off".

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

I doubt it. She'll be heavily medicated and only needs to go 15 minutes at a shot. I assume there will be commercials at the 15 minute breaks. She'll retire to the green room, sit in the corner on a small stool and Huma will take her mouthpiece out and slap her with a wet sponge. The doctors will inject her with "the mixture", maybe do a few lines of Bill's secret nose candy and she's back for another 15 minutes.

“U.K. bookmaker William Hill is now offering 5-to-1 odds that Hillary Clinton bails on the U.S. presidential election. That translates to roughly a 16 percent chance that she pulls out of the whole thing....”

But the good part, is that she will need to support herself getting up and sitting down. The chairs need to have free-wheeling rollerball wheels. She’ll be chasing that chair all over the place.

Hillary was scheduled to appear at a campaign event in Florida today. Anybody know if she was there, or was she a no-show?

There were no decisions by this Commission without feedback for Hillary’s team. She will be rested and pumped up with whatever her Doctors and Handlers knows what will get her through the 90 min. She isn’t healthy but I’m sensing a bit of sandbagging because she will now be the “comeback kid” The Fascist Media will run with it just like they did with “powering through”

Maybe a big shot of B12 with the diazapam will keep her Eyeballs straight.

LOL! Where’s the picture of Captain Pike on the original Star Trek. That’d be perfect for the Rats. She simply sits in a roll-around and somebody else speaks for her.
