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.

On the other hand, could you imagine the visual if she had an “episode” while standing on a step stool?
Ok...I am picking nits.
The Podium is the part that holds up the lectern.
I get your joke. But, its around this time of year where people mis-speak about which is which.
She better start hydrating now.

All this rumble about her sicknesses: It is going to backfire big time like when rumble about the birth certificate was going on.
All they need do is come up with an acronym that mischaracterizes the issue.
They’ll start calling those who bring up the issue “sickophobes” “illophobes” or “Sickers” or “illers”(remember “birthers”?) and the Trump campaign will be sunk.
One of the company commanders in my unit was really short...and one night somebody cut the legs off of his desk. Looked a lot like this.
No Bathroom breaks??? Geesh...they are both 69-70!!
Is there a pool on how many minutes in before Hillary falls over?
“Cough hillary like you’ve never coughed before! And make sure you hack into the mike.”
I do pity the poor soul who has the miserable task of having to clean her green, slimy sputum off the mike.
No one can see under the sofa covers she wears.
Wasn’t Shrillary late returning from a potty break during one of the Democratic debates?
She better strap on the XXL catheter bag.
Geez. I would think both candidates need at least one bathroom break.
I think i would toss it!
“oh yeah, i cleaned that mike like you ask”
“Dear Lord, I hope her obvious infirmities are exposed big time Monday night and she is granted no mercy!!!”
Had a thought that perhaps we’re being set up and played by the clinton machine for a huge “comeback” a la BJ.
The questions are:
Like in Dave, would the SS take a bullet for Hitlery’s double?
Can Hitlery’s team get away with setting up a fake SS detail around her double?
What if SS really cleared/secured the whole area around that kid after her last “episode”?
Remember the Fraud showing us he really knows how to use an umbrella while holding one for some leftist stooge in the rain near a helicopter? No one else was in sight, not even SS.
So what if her double is a decent actor and has been having all these “episodes”, and Herself is somehow able to “power through” the debate?
(With no commercials or station identifications at all?)
Big Media would spend the next 46 days plus at least four years afterward talking about how strong and hale she is.
Just a thought....
There’s a difference between her health issues and Barry’s birth cert. People can see videos of HRC having health episodes, with their own two eyes.
I have no idea what specifically ails her, but somebody who gets tossed into a van like yesterday’s garbage has something wrong with her. Any open minded person has to acknowledge something is going on with her health.
Honestly, when Drudge posted his ‘Weekend at Bernie’s’ pose from HRC, with the blue glasses, I thought it was somehow fake, because she looked so bad.
I get the gist, though - don’t rely solely on her fainting during the debate. She spoke for around 50 minutes at the convention, at a podium, and did fine. Odds are she’ll be able to stand for the debate as well. IMHO, the election rides on this first debate.
You are correct. She will be medicated with an entire pharmacy, but media will say she heroically “powered through” despite “recovering from pneumonia”.
BUT if she’s not able to hack it (bad pun) in practice this weekend, they will cancel due to some pitiful excuse.
[...they are both 69-70!!]
Did you ever see Trump have an hour and a half rally and need a bathroom break?
Not a problem for HIM.
IMO, she has everything to lose and nothing much to gain at the debate. Love it. She can't rig her way out of this. When she starts coughing, I hope Trump will go all concern troll on her. Offer that she is mentally weak and physically feeble (exact words) and that she should be allowed to take a break. If he wants to go snarky he could suggest that she suspend her campaign...for the sake of the country.
Tommy Daschle used to use a stool behind the podium. Looked on Google for a picture couldn't find one but I have seen them before, oh well.
The first solution proposed was for Trump to stand in a hole...
