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.

They only denied it because they were afraid they might have to show her being helped up on it. Lol
What if she trips getting on the podium?
What if she falls off the podium?..........
But she probably won’t drink any, if she has Parkinson’s. It is my understanding that swallowing can be difficult for people with that disease.

Hydrophobia will do that to you too.
That’s a lectern.
A podium is something upon which a person stands...........
If someone jams her earpiece I hope it provides a low-level auditory tone in her ear. That will either drive her nuts and off focus, cause her to rip the earpiece out on stage or have a seizure.
Any of the three results are good for America.

Trump should be allowed to use the exact same podium.
If she cancels, the Donald should debate a card board cut out
[Not at all. If anything, Hillarys child-sized podium will emphasize her child-sized stature.]
I’d look for the camera to zoom in just enough that it won’t be noticeable to the average viewer at home.
She’ll just re-channel her coughing - “Well, you didn’t say anything about farting.”
Or with sleight-of-hand, produce and snaffle a jar of Vitameatavegiamphetabeans: “Tastes like candy! It’s the musical fruit: the more I toot, the better I feel!”
What about no strings?

No stool.
They are saving her from herself.
Imagine her standing on the stool, getting dizzy, falling, hitting her head, splitting it open, and getting blood all over the nice shiny floor.
Horrible. Simply horrible.
She will need the triple-thick Depends.
How will this turn out? It all Depends...
Monday's throwdown could top out at 100 million viewers, making it the biggest political event in history.Are they talking about the debate between the two least liked candidates with the lowest approval ratings in history?...It must be Hillary. Everyone knows she can draw a crowd wherever she goes...< /sarcasm >
No way she can just quit the debate. No reason could be good enough.
All bluetooth frequencies should be jammed. Bluetooth has the possible range of up to 100 meters. Each candidate should submit to a public device scan just before taking the podium.
Bolt-on overflow auxiliary collection bags for the catheter.
Better yet, with todays advanced technology, scanning for electronic listening devices/ear examinations should be mandatory just prior to debate start.
