If she remains coherent and has no medical emergency, Dems will roar ‘See?!? She’s fine!’

I want to see how femibazis react. The claim men and women are equal in every and all respect, yet their standard bearer wants an artificial boost to equalize an naturally occiring inequality. Men are taller than women. Maybe Dukakis should have declared himself trangednder and gooten a step stool so he wouldnt have been seen as much smaller than 41.

From the Drudge report story, here’s the link to that 4 minute coughing fit she had around Sept 5.

So there will have to be a delicate balance of enough medicated to hold down the cough and not making her look comatose.

She’ll be cargo strapped to the back of the lecturn. They’ll hard plumb her cathador.

But the narrative is that if she can go 90 minutes without coughing or fainting she wins by default. That's what they will attempt to use, assuming she can go the distance.

Plus, her army of Tards will be all over social media touting that "Hillary Wiped the Floor with Trump" or "She's SOOOOO presidential.." and other various phrases. i am sure they already have them typed up, along with the "Trump is a meanie.." ones..

She’s has a technique she has been using to avoid coughing and gagging by talking low and slow and very measured.

That’s besides any drugs she is using.

That’s why there should no adjustments to her mike to compensate for her weak voice to make her sound more confident and strong.

A fragile old woman like that should not be put on any kind of step or mini-platform. It would be irresponsibly dangerous.

This race between Trump and Clinton has further led me to consider the matter of aging. There isn't that much difference in age betweeen the two. But I've yet to hear Trump described as "old" but Hillary is consistently cited as being old, as elderly, as aging, as sickly etc.

I'm coming to see age as more a matter of vitality of spirit and character. People of robust heart and soul are not young, or middle, or old. They have a timeless quality that comes out in every aspect of their lives. I think it comes from choosing to not be defined by the parameters of the world. Something like Tom Bombadil in The Lord of the Rings.

Hillary however has lusted after and pursued power all her adult life, and it has corrupted her not just in soul but in body. Her demand for power at all cost has taken its toll on her physically. And so she's become the female incarnation of Gollum.

“This will be a very, very interesting 90 minutes of television.”

Hence the rules.
They may be starting to realize she’s going to lose, so may as well fall back on their real interest: grabbing eyeballs to watch high profile failure live.

She demanded a stepstool, this was denied by the debate commission.

*****************

They gave her a smaller lecturn so now a step stool isn’t needed.

I’m going to record the debate and, if I hear afterward that there was an “incident,” I’ll go back and fast-forward to see it. Normally I go far out of my way to avoid seeing or hearing Herself, but this time I’ll make an exception.

It’s doable, but risky.

We’ve really lowered the bar this year. If Hillary can stand for 90 minutes it will be hailed as a triumph for her and a crushing defeat for The Donald.

Will they have one of those medical golf-carts in the wings in case they need to get her to the locker room?

I still want to know why there are Chess Tournaments restricted to women.
