If presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton slips into a coughing fit or any other medical crisis during Monday's high-stakes debate, she will have to power through, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned!
"There are no commercial breaks," a commission source explains. "Period."
Debate moderator Lester Holt does not have the authority to cut away from the stage during the epic 90-minute showdown. And microphone audio for either of the candidates is not to be manipulated.
Clinton has experienced severe coughing episodes throughout the election year. During a Labor Day campaign stop she suffered a 4-minute choking marathon.
Monday's throwdown could top out at 100 million viewers, making it the biggest political event in history.
EDITOR'S NOTE: The presidential debate commission settled an early flashpoint when Clinton demanded a step-stool at the podium to add height to her 5'4" frame. Campaign Chairman John Podesta expressed concern that Hillary would be dwarfed by 6'2" Trump. The request was quickly rejected. The commission is allowing for a custom-made podium, which will accommodate the difference in stature.

“...Clinton demanded a step-stool at the podium to add height to her 5’4” frame.”
Who knew you could pack so much evil in such a small package.
Trump should have his podium built to the exact same specks.
That would be hilarious.
Anyone at that age is going to have to be in great shape to make it through 90 minutes on their feet, under the lights, having to think on their feet.
While the lights are not as hot as they used to be, this woman wears tarps that look heavy. She better start hydrating now.
The last time I did something like this (speaking at a large meeting) I ended up with leg cramps that night.
Even people that work standing up, generally move around enough not to get tight.
And if she gets a coughing fit...she is a dead woman.
I’m beginning to think so too.
Pampers can only be changed before the debates begin or after they end. No Foley catheters either.
countdown til they cave...3..2..
I wish they’d have granted her a stool (and reserved the right to take a camera angle which would show her standing on it). She probably would have been so distracted by the prospect of falling off the stool, it would have made her go into one of her spells, maybe even fall off of it.
What about drug tests?
Rofl! I think it’s going to look just as silly with her having a shorter podium tbh.
Does she get a spittoon?
” a custom-made podium, which will accommodate the difference in stature.”
NOTHING, not a thing on Earth, can accommodate the difference in stature. Or their size.
I think we all need to back off of Hillary on the debate.
What happens if she’s able to stand for the whole thing, not cough even once, and wears a ton of makeup and botox to look reasonable?
The media will praise her to high heaven is what will happen.
For those of us high-fiving about how poorly she’s gonna due, especially about her health, what could you say then, and the democrat/media will use that to “prove” we Trump supporters are wrong and mean spirited.
And a portable disco ball or other epileptic producing light.
Great idea!
