Was the "no bathroom break" specifically designed agains HRC?

[Mamajami]

Remember there were bathroom breaks in other debates.
This debate is stacked against her in so many ways but that will just reveal her abilities all the more.

Right now, America is seeing itself for what it really is...and it ain't pretty. I only hope the good out weighs the evil.

[Raven]

1. I don't think so. Most

women are camels compared to men.

[Wounded Bear]

4. This ^ ^ ^

At least in my experience.

[Hortensis]

11. Huh? Why the assumption it would benefit Trump?

He's older than she is. AND notably refusing to release his medical records.

After promising to reveal the results of his full physical, Rump instead provided a very shady letter prepared by the same physician who signed that crooked first letter. The only data among the very limited information it gave that could be evaluated are his height and weight, which many people believe were falsified, both shorter than claimed and fatter. What's Rump hiding?

"Maybe he should try EATING greens."

[yeoman6987]

18. Agreed. I'd have a heck of a time going 90 minutes without a bathroom break

This is more of a problem for trump.

[hlthe2b]

20. Exactly... the odds that Trump does not have some degree of prostatic enlargement & thus

a problem with more frequent need to urinate--are pretty slim at his age. In comparison, i have little doubt HRC could wait for hours.

[trof]

23. Yep, they don't have prostates.

[avebury]

29. ^^^

I recently went on an all day field trip at work with three guys. Guess who was the only one who didn't ask for the van to pull over for a rest stop? Of course I didn't pass on an opportunity if it was given to me.

[scheming daemons]

2. It won't be an issue..... and thanks for your concern.

[Cracklin Charlie]

16. Seriously?

Are we really supposed to be worrying about pee breaks?

[tonyt53]

3. I'd say that she will be well prepared. But it Depends if she chooses the route of another lady.

[hamsterjill]

27. Pays to always be prepared, right?

Loved your post!

[PearliePoo2]

5. I thought of that too. There SHOULD be a break.

Remember, Trump made a crude remark about Hillary taking a bathroom break during one of her debates.
He said it was disgusting. What exactly is disgusting Donald? That women have to pee occasionally?
When YOU pee Donald, it is NOT disgusting, just because you're a guy?

God, he is an asshole on steroids.

[GeorgeGist]

6. Nope.

[citood]

7. I really don't remember commercial breaks in previous debates (except the primaries)

[Bonhomme Richard]

8. No break. Don't allow Trump to talk to handlers during the debate. n/t

[renate]

22. absolutely

Hillary knows what she's doing in a one-on-one debate. He does not. I'm glad there's no break.

[brooklynite]

9. There weren't breaks in General Election debates

...and according to MJ, and candidates didn't negotiate a memorandum of terms and conditions for this debate.

[Duckhunter935]

10. Nope

She should not have to be held to a lower standard than males. I am sure she will do fine.

[meow2u3]

24. Nor should be held to a higher standard than males

[Duckhunter935]

30. True, of course I did not say that

[moriah]

33. The only reason BRBs were issues in the primary debates...

.... were because the ladies room was much further away than the men's room so she had to hike a further distance.

That sucked, but far too much was made out of it, and I'm so sick of bathroom debates (everybody urinates, everybody defecates, and my only issue was that the guys at work who sometimes used the ladies room because it was cleaner and less busy was they DIDN'T keep it clean) that it's a non-issue.

Besides, they make products for people who have leakage or urgency issues, and I'm pretty sure Drump is more likely to need them than Hillary. Even if she did, though, it wouldn't matter. (Though I feel really sorry for one of the elders in our religious community, due to nerve damage from childbirths that ended up breaking bones in her lower spine/tailbone -- really wasn't designed for easy childbirth, tiny person with big babies in the 70s when doctors were idiots -- whose issue is with the other sphincter not working properly. She has a sense of humor about it, but she does comment that most women who have issues are urinary, where that's fine for her.... she's stuck with the more embarrassing problem.)

[Mamajami]

35. I remember that well. That's why I brought up the subject.

[Mike Nelson]

12. Why wouldn't...

...bathroom breaks affect Trump, also? I don't really see how either candidate has a problem in this area. I doubt either used many of their past "bathroom" breaks for that specific purpose; instead, they conferred with staff.

[liberal N proud]

13. Trump is an old man, he may have trouble holding it as well.

[Motley13]

14. Don't forget the maggot has a problem standing for long

he complained about the length of, I think, the first debate.

[stone space]

15. Stupid rule reguardless of the reason. Is this seriously a published rule?

[skylucy]

17. I think going 90 min. or even 2 hours without using the bathroom is

not a problem for most people. I remember how long Hillary was questioned at the Republican kangaroo court. She has got this. And she has WAY more stamina than tRUMP.

[Jim__]

19. She went for far longer than 90 minutes w/o a bathroom break in the Benghazi hearing.

And she knocked it out of the park.

[Shankapotomus]

21. Why would they ban bathroom breaks?

And who requested that?

It should be illegal to ban bathroom breaks.

[DavidDvorkin]

25. I'm male, almost 73

And I drink a lot of tea

And when I have to pee

I really have to pee.

Frequently.

[Capt. Obvious]

26. Trump offered a compromise

Bathroom breaks but you have to stand to pee.

[Hoyt]

28. Trump will be wearing diapers, just in case.

[mainstreetonce]

31. I'm guessing

That's his usual .

You don't think he really uses public restrooms.

[reflection]

32. Depends.

Pun intended.

[Hekate]

34. No commercials? It's not on CSPAN or PBS, amirite?
