EBATE RULES: NO COUGHING BREAKS
**Exclusive**
Fri Sep 23 2016 11:30:40 ET


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.

I'm expecting some sort of meltdown from Hitlery.    There seems to be quite a bit of evidence indicating she is not in good health.

That is just so wrong....

Well, I'm not going to be one of the expected 100 million.  Watching that debate would be akin to a root canal.

Standing up the whole time, no breaks, I wonder who set these rules in place?  Obviously they are not extending any special consideration to Madame Clinton. Does someone wants her to fail? I'm surprised she agreed to those conditions.

@mystery-ak

When I was instructing in Texas Election Laws in Texas and Election Judges and Clerks, I spoke for four hours in a large room or auditorium with a 15 minute break in the middle.  I kept a cough drop in my mouth the whole time to keep my mouth and throat lubricated.

Clinton needs to do that, if she doesn't, she will likely have one of the coughing spells from just talking.  If they are going to be standing the whole 90 minutes, she can hold onto the stand to keep her balance.

Trump will be his usual, not able to speak a whole sentence without nonsense words and repeating words and stopping before a complete sentence is said.  I dread hearing the klutz.
