Hillary is being expected to remain standing for 90 minutes. No breaks. No commercial breaks. She demanded a stepstool, this was denied by the debate commission.

She won’t make it. More than half of the viewers will be tuning in to see if she survives physically. My bet, she won’t.

You are hearing it here first, RIGHT NOW, Hillary will fake spraining her ankle before the debate, so she can be in a wheelchair, sitting down for the whole event.

After the debate she will make a miraculous recovery.

My thinking is that she will be seriously medicated to fend off the coughing, but these drugs will leave her loopy, slow, and barely going through the motions during the debate.

Hillary seems to think that she’ll do very well. Trump sits in business meetings with people who can buy and sell the Clintons three times before breakfast. She’s not going to rattle Trump.

Given her clear anger in yesterday’s video demanding to know why she’s not “ahead by 50 points”, there will be medication to make sure she doesn’t lose any remaining composure when he gets under her skin.

Hillary Clinton has enveloped herself with yes-persons and sycophants. Trump has no such predilections. The need to dope her up to be able to handle a serious debate will leave her barely conscious.

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

I think it is good that no small steps are allowed for Hillary. I mean, what would have happened if she had fainted and broken a bone, like she did when she fell and broker her arm.

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

Cutting down the podium so she has her “kiddie sized podium” is the best course of action.

Widespread consensus is that Nixon lost to Kennedy because of the televised debates. While people listening to it on the radio thought that Nixon won handily, those watching on television considered Kennedy the winner.

The reason being: Nixon turned down wearing makeup for the camera. He was also seen to be sweating profusely. And his posture while sitting was rather slovenly. Kennedy on the other hand accepted having makeup, and was sure to be poised with a posture of confidence.

This Monday night may be when Hillary goes down in flames before the cameras even harder than Nixon ever did. At least Nixon was a competent debater and stood on his own ideas and beliefs. What does Hillary have in that regard?

If the beest breaks down physically, what should The Donald say? What about: “Is there a doctor in the house?”

She will have three or four bottles of water under the podium. Each one with a different drug for different situations. Color coded so she doesn’t mix them up. When coughing starts she’ll go for the red bottle. When head bobbling starts she’ll go for the blue bottle. When fainting starts she’ll go for the green bottle and when eyes start going crossed she’ll hit the yellow one.

Not only say, is there a doctor in the house, he needs to add that we simply must stop and take care of the elderly senior citizen on the stage before we go forward. I don’t like to take advantage of the feeble old folks.

Wow, I looked at the Drudge story—there’s almost a two-foot difference between the two!

My sister met Hillary years ago at some conference and she told me how she never expected her to be so short.

Even if she were in perfect health, the optics are already against her.

A tiny, frail woman, next to a tall, confident man; already women voters will be attracted to Trump.

Re post 6: I agree with your post in it's entirety.

She will be overmedicated. She will not be able to rattle him. She will act like a zombie.

90 minutes of standing and being questioned. The hag will break down for sure. This will be the most work she has ever done in her miserable existence. The Donald will make the smartest woman in America look like a stumble bum!

I agree. They will give her a "cocktail" of drugs to try to get her through the 90 minutes. But all drugs have side effects. It's a gamble on their part.

She might borrow a clue from Jeb, but I doubt she could stand on her tippie-toes all evening.
