Hillary Gets Super-Sized Podium To Compete With Trump
dailycaller.com ^ | 09/25/2016

Posted on 09/25/2016 11:49:17 PM PDT by Helicondelta

Before Republican nominee Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton debate each other Monday, Clinton’s podium needed some adjustments.

Trump is a towering 6’2″ and Clinton is only 5’4″. To even the height field, Clinton’s podium now has plywood placed in the middle, according to WABC Radio Host Rita Cosby. The WABC journalist gained exclusive access to the podiums, which not only show Clinton’s is now a bit larger than Trump’s, but that there is also a small box Clinton might stand on.

TRUMP ought to enter the stage first and TAKE HER PODIUM
and let her make an issue of it ...
hahahahahaha
when she demands the podium i would look behind it and ask her what is the additional step on her’s for...???

after that he ought to abandon the podium altogether and challange/invite Hillary to do the same....

if i were Trump i would get an electronic specialist to jam Hillary’s earpiece.... and watch her melt like the wicked witch she is ...

90 minutes under the lights without melting..... double dose of drugs...
the walk on and walk off ought to be very intersting
will the black goon with the laser and drugs come runnnng on the stage...
will the malpracticing der. beon the scene...andthe emergency ambulance ...
will she roll on in a wheelchair claiming an anklesprain...

I actually intend to watch football....
I ALREADY KNOW WHO I AM VOTING FOR

Why would she need a larger podium, as ballast to hold onto?

I think they have it backwards.

The larger podium is for Trump, to make the height difference less apparent.

Clinton had asked for a stool/box to stand on, but that was denied.

"Podium on the right has plywood in it to heighten it, likely for Secretary Clinton. "

That is one of the most obviously CONTORTED statements I have ever heard. Plywood in it. Do they mean EXTRA plywood ?

Notice the wires hanging out of the one on the right. Notice that the one on the right is not only taller, but wider. Notice that bright yellow area over half way down. The one on the right is much bigger. What is that ?

Will they be required to stay behind their podiums? What happens if Trump, who likes to walk around, walks over?

I also hope the plywood gives way

There is no 'plywood' in either of those lecterns. They appear to be made of particle board with hardwood top.

Yes, they do. If you look at the picture, both podiums have plywood in them. One has more.

Also, look at the closeup. The podium is DESIGNED to be adjustable in height. A spacer is put into the place where you see the light-colored plywood, to raise the top of the podium to the correct height.

The yellow spacer is indeterminate composition, at least from what I can see. But, I think that's what the reporter calls "plywood".

Everywhere else, it says 5’7”....including her site.

It all depends on which body double they are using.

It looks like they built her a box to stand on, so they are making her podium bigger to compensate for her new height.

He should consult with Rick Lazio before doing that.

No, look closely at the yellow box.

It says "Lecturn Power Supply + ?MX"

I can't quite decipher the last three letters, but it looks like it ends in "MX".

Liberalism is a sham and the blind eye that is supposed to exist by the elevated leftists is pure bull for the masses to devour. If being a woman, black, blond or tall were truly characteristics that affect our judgment about one another, then it takes laws to force us to have the correct thoughts.

I think everyone in America will know about the podium.

Trump should bait her to come down off her high perch and shake his hand at the end of the debate to neutralize her podium.

You might be right. I was basing my post on the article that said:
"The WABC journalist gained exclusive access to the podiums, which not only show Clinton’s is now a bit larger than Trump’s, but that there is also a small box Clinton might stand on."

Notice that there is more space between on and edge of picture than the other Optical illusion making them appear the same through positioning
