Entire Title: "Hillary Clinton to use larger podium than Donald Trump at first debate to make up for height disadvantage: report"
Hillary Clinton says that we’re “stronger together,” but even she can’t deny Donald Trump is taller.
The Democratic nominee, who is 5-foot-4, has apparently enlisted the help of a raised podium for the first presidential debate against Donald Trump, who is 6-foot-3, Monday night, photos of the two podiums show.
According to WABC’s Rita Cosby, one of the two podiums inside the debate hall at Hofstra University, in Hempstead, N.Y., is larger than the other.
It is believed that the larger one was built at Clinton’s request to make her appear taller than she is.
“Clinton is 5'4" and Trump 6'2" and her team wanted the podium modified or a box added so she won't look short next to Trump,” Cosby said in an email.
“One is clearly larger … than the other,” Cosby said.
Photos taken by Cosby appear to show two podiums of two different sizes.
The Clinton campaign did not immediately respond to questions about whether the Democratic nominee would be using a raised podium at Monday night’s debate. The Commission on Presidential Debates, which organizes the debates, did not respond to questions either.
However, multiple outlets had reported last week that the Clinton campaign had asked the CPD if the Democratic nominee could use a raised podium to avoid appearing 10 inches shorter than Trump.

There are endless nicknames for that woman. Let’s just pray that POTUS is never one of them!!
He may not be short, but he looks like he could suck the chrome off a bumper.
AMEN!
exactly - the large podium will make her look either chubby or tiny
X, Y or Z-axis?
Maybe she could get “some training” from “Little Jebbie” on how to stand on your tippy toes. It worked “so well” for him in the first debate.
Winston Churchill was short and stout. Somehow he managed to stand with others. YOu have to have the chutzpah to carry it off. I guess Hillary doesn’t have it.
“Personally, I think they should raise so high that we don’t even have to see her!! That would be a hoot!”
How about a coin toss to see who gets which podium?
The Womanchurian candidate.
I keep looking, but can not see any difference in width...only maybe slightly taller on the right? That yellow package might be a podium but then why shorten the lectern...All too much for my tired mind tonight!

She’s heightening! It’s the most shameful thing a little person can do.
That is off the hook!!
All this talk brought up this video clip for me.
That’s a great one!! I hadn’t heard it before.
I guess I’m not the only one hoping that she locks her knees.
Heightening, lol! Sounds like a scene out of Seinfeld, eh?
Ah well, what goes up must come down. In her case, probably on her face.
She is clearly Shortophobic
