If presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton slips into a coughing fit or any other medical crisis during Monday’s high-stakes debate, she will have to power through, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned!
“There are no commercial breaks,” a commission source explains. “Period.”
Debate moderator Lester Holt does not have the authority to cut away from the stage during the epic 90-minute showdown. And microphone audio for either of the candidates is not to be manipulated.
Clinton has experienced severe coughing episodes throughout the election year. During a Labor Day campaign stop she suffered a 4-minute choking marathon.
Monday’s throwdown could top out at 100 million viewers, making it the biggest political event in history.
EDITOR’S NOTE: The presidential debate commission settled an early flashpoint when Clinton demanded a step-stool at the podium to add height to her 5’4″ frame. Campaign Chairman John Podesta expressed concern that Hillary would be dwarfed by 6’2″ Trump. The request was quickly rejected. The commission is allowing for a custom-made podium, which will accommodate the difference in stature.
“Debate moderator Lester Holt does not have the authority to cut away from the stage during the epic 90-minute showdown. And microphone audio for either of the candidates is not to be manipulated.”
Send in the clown (double).
She needs all the practice she can get.
Good point and I will build on it: this could be a chance for them to “prove” her health using said double or even CGI and fake the whole thing since trump is one of them. They would NEVER allow this considering her health without a very nefarious goal in mind with her coughing and collapsing episodes.
If they stopped hiring third rate directors they might actually come up with something half-@ss believable.
For the average dolt, of course. Naturally, that wouldn’t apply to Trenchers.
What another No Show?
Who is to say “mondays debate” has not already been recorded and edited? All of these “debates” are from closed box rooms where they can edit it all they want. Unless you or I are standing there nothing is “live.” Heck, the audience does not even have to exist, they can CGI them into existence and use audio-clips.
Too damned fishy.
Agreed. They can “create” anything they want to these days and getting it done ahead of time helps remove the glitches.
Either that, or Hitlery will cancel in protest of this rule. Because it’s really difficult to have a debate from your coffin in a mausoleum.
The echo really screws up the microphones.
“Is this thing on?…on…on…on (SCREEEEEEEECHHH!).”
COLLUM….. COLLUM………..COLLUM………….
Well for me, i don not see how she can do it. No stool to sit on, if she does cough how long will that last? I am not a trumper but i would have refused those moderators or at least got someone on the right. I wondered why he didnt sqawk about it. Which Killary will show up, oh maybe the one 2 in shorter thats why she asked for the stool to be taller 🙂 I am boycotting football so guess i will have to watch just out of curiosity. I do think she will clean his clock in a debate, guess we will see.
“There are no commercial breaks,” a commission source explains. “Period.”
This is quite odd considering the millions of viewers expected to watch. No one is concerned about making money by way of advertising?
Special podium is a dead give away in my mind that something is not right.
What will she do if selected as pres. when she is up against anyone taller than 5’4?
This is just too weird.
They need the special podium to make sure there is room for the wheels on the two-wheel handcart they are going to use when they roll her up to the podium.
You watch, she will be talking but her lips won’t be moving.
And for some strange reason, throughout the entire 90 minute debate, she won’t blink once. Not once.
Pretty much what I was thinking with the podium stuff, although more like a brace to support her, but your’s makes more sense, as I can’t see her standing for 90 min. without a collapse. Again, too weird! I will be watching regarding the no blinking and lips not moving.
There’s been one exception for Billary.
She does have the right to cough.
Contrary to negative publick opinion.
But only …and I mean only..after a big bong hit of some mcnasty green ooze bud.
Cause that’s the only excuse I’ll accept.
What? No chairs? Poor Hillary’s body double. What will she ever do?
