Hillary and the Debate Rules (She struck out)
The American Thinker ^ | September 24, 2016 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 09/24/2016 9:18:26 AM PDT by onyx



Against expectations, the Presidential Debate Commission has adopted rules that do not favor Hillary Clinton.  She will have to stand the entire 90 minutes.  With no stool.  And no commercial breaks.  Her campaign’s request that she have a booster to make her appear close in height to Donald Trump was turned down.

She struck out.

An hour and a half under bright lights, facing pure stress, gravity pressing her body onto her legs and feet, staying balanced the whole time.

Worrying about a seizure.

Look for one or more bathroom breaks.  Then look for claims she took meds when she went to the little girls' room.

How could this have happened to Our Gal Hill? Lifezette told us a week ago:

She won’t be able to stand for 90 minutes. Huma will create a diversion so that she can sit down.

It seems only fair. Since we have to put up with Clinton hack George Streptococcus as the moderator.

They might make an attempt on Trumps life this weekend to make it appear to be his fault that they have to cancel the debate.

Some strobe lighting will set of her crazy eye rolling. Is she going to have to leave off her blue sunglasses?

In a way it’s fitting. We’ll see if Hill is a stand-up kind of gal or not.

But again, part of me says why push this. If she starts to faint, maybe Donald’s most chivalrous move would be to say “Hillary, get a chair” and then take one himself too. It doesn’t matter where your bottom is as much as where your head is; even FDR proved that, big liberal as he was. The trouble with her is not that she is a genius with a handicap; it’s that she is stupid.

A lot depends on the room temperature. If they could keep it cooler (say around 65 degrees) then she might be able to make it.

The problem is....just one single coughing attack for two minutes....would basically kill off her chances of winning. Or a single bug-eye look. Or a single head-shaking event.

To walk in and do well for 90 minutes?

The Trump campaign needs to have a Trump pin that goes on the lapel. And it blinks. One pin won’t do anything, but 10 people in proximity with all those lights blinking can cause a convulsion.

When the campaign is caught after Hillary melts down they can say it wasn’t their intention.

She had a hard time just trying to sit in the chair at the CIC Forum. It was a hard back chair with no cushion, like she normally insists on. It will be interesting watching her endure that long period of standing while under pressure.

She doesn’t get a stool but she gets a special podium.

I think it is important for Trump to win on his ideas because anything else and it is likely that Trumps biggest enemies will be McConnell and Ryan who will thwart him at every turn. If he wins straight up he will have much more power where it counts. If he wins by default it’s going to be pure gridlock.

She is not healthy and I imagine it will be a grueling experience, but if that is given as the reason she lost the race it will weaken Trump (through no fault of his own). I know we must win first and cannot afford defeat, but Trump is doing well enough now that I want to hear the word “mandate” so he can really get things done!

It is not funny, but corrupt Hillary is a lying, sick old crook who accepts bribes and betrays our country. Everything in that sentence is well documented. She lies even when the truth would serve her better. Everything she says or does must be treated with the utmost suspicion.

Don’t forget her shrill voice. If she starts raising her voice and her eye goes wild, it will be fun to watch...with the sound muted.

That’s a cute idea, but in this situation, we have to be adults and just let it be shown how weak and vulnerable she is naturally. All she did on September 11the was go outside for a memorial and even then she needed special sunglasses because the light of day might cause her to have a seizure. And even with those glass and a nurse and doctor standing by, she collapsed.

Her “seizure” moments seems to have happened when there were a lot of distractions.

A quiet room, no lights glaring in her eyes, and she might endure it.

I know these Democrats and they would weigh in with a ton of screams about “able-ism.” And Democrats will forgive a lot in order to get what they want. Frankly even if I was Trump I think I’d have pity on the physical Hillary and propose that the debate be a seated debate. I’m humane. But I’d still know that I had the best ideas and that Hillary was dissembling, and not be shy about driving those points home.

She’ll find some reason to cancel the debate.

I would prefer Trump beats Hillary without her taking herself out, but the thought of Hillary is so sickening, I really don’t care how Trump wins.
