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.
What affliction is going to hit Hillary 1st while she is on stage? Cock-eyedness, hacking fit, gravity, wet shart...?

Drudge also mentions that The SHREW "demanded" a step-stool so as not to appear shorter. Joking aside, I hope it's something larger that a step-stool, so she doesn't fall easily.

I'm sure she'll be wearing a Depends.  Any coughing fits or other BS should not extend her speaking time, but should count against it just like she was still blathering.  I suspect she will use them to disrupt The Donald during his time, though.

It's moments like these that give rise to the statement, "Better living through chemistry." She'll be stoked on meds and that'll prop her up and keep her going.

I remember reading about JFK's reliance on pain meds, due to his back injury from WWII.

She was told no but she will have a custom podium (per Rush).

Moderator Announces Topics for First Presidential Debate
Sep 19, 2016

http://debates.org/index.php?mact=News,cntnt01,detail,0&cntnt01articleid=66&cntnt01origid=27&cntnt01detailtemplate=newspage&cntnt01returnid=80

Lester Holt, moderator of the first 2016 presidential debate, has selected the topics for that debate.

Subject to possible changes because of news developments, the topics for the September 26 debate are as follows, not necessarily to be brought up in this order:

America's Direction
Achieving Prosperity
Securing America


The debate will be held on Monday, September 26 at Hofstra University in Hempstead, NY. The format calls for six 15-minute time segments. Two 15-minute segments will focus on each of the topics listed above.

All debates start at 9:00 p.m. ET and run for 90 minutes without commercial interruption.

I wonder how closely they will stick with this format and topics! I can see them introducing the BLM movement with the recent events in N.C.

Know of at least one site that allows wagering on such a thing.
