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.

There are going to be betting pools all over the country on this one. I call the 40-minute nark for her first extended coughing jag that interrupts the debate. From the Drudge Report The interesting thing is how heavily her handlers are going to drug her. On the one hand, they've got to settle her down, keep her anxiety in check, and suppress her coughing, on the other, they don't want her going out there wild-eyed, manic, and more hyped up than a coke-addled New York Met from the 1980s.
