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.

Ha—the Internet response is quick!
Just made it :>)
Can you imagine the smell when her diaper starts leaking? Ewwwww!
I like Housecoat Hillary.
Has a certain ring to it.
Ha ha—that’s great. Congrats!
I agree... it has a certain ring to it and it calls to mind that ghastly outfit she wore a couple of times lately. She looked like she'd escaped from the loony bin.
However that is open for questioning....The article reads “NOT” 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.”
Really something though that they're all trying to prop her up...which just shows again she cannot stand without props nor win without accommodations or cheating done for her....
Personally I don't think Trump cares one way or other.... his stature as a man will always show greater..... Additionally..."Why would the great feminist Hillary expect special treatment to her physical frame being of difference to a mans????"
lol
