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:

That’s a great point. In the back of my mind, I have this nagging doubt that the coughing and what-not are put-ons.

Appreciate your comment Onyx. Thanks. I’m open to the informed and thoughtful views of others and enjoy the exchange of ideas, however I don’t believe that sermonizing and/or lecturing advances the discussion.

Zealots don’t win many arguments or convert others to new ideas.

Regards.

HRC is probably trying out soundbites with focus groups to create an “I gotcha”. The MSM will latch on to one and call it the higlight of the debate.

I think the best scenario is that she physically makes it through with minimal disruption, but starts shrieking and screaming and gets angry and starts calling Trump names. I’m hoping for an actual meltdown.

However, I have serious doubts that she can physically make it through. I believe there’s no way she can stand without falling for 90 minutes. It would be best for Trump if she can.

I appreciate your point. She may just hold up and the media will gush all over her newfound stamina and energy. That is entirely possible.

However, she was sitting down during the entirety of the grilling on Capitol Hill and had the ‘comfort’ of knowing she would be supported during intervals when her Democrat colleagues took up her defense.

More recently, we know she exhibited manifestations of various health related issues, the worst of them being the very public video of her collapsing. This time she has to stand up for a prolonged period and debate with someone she loathes. They’ll probably have her medicated to the max for this event, but meds do often have side effects. We’ll soon see.

I’m thinking that special podium is going to blow cold air to help her stay cool. And who knows what else.

I agree with you on the points you make. I hope she is thoroughly humiliated on the stage for all to see.

Exactly, Huma will call in a threat to the building, which will have them both escorted (Hillary dragged) from the stage.

George Streptococcus as the moderator.”””

I think that little Georgie will have a complete mental breakdown when the November election results are posted.

He is totally in love with both of the Clintons, and cannot see reason outside of of those parameters.

At least she’s still allowed to wear her earpiece.
