Did Clinton have outside help during the debate?

I’ve just seen on Facebook that in a recent speech Clinton was wearing what appeared at first glance to be a pendant ear ring but if you zoom in, is actually an earpiece, presumably with the transmitter / receiver in the small pendant. So I’m wondering if she got outside help during the debate?

Oh goodie. Another conspiracy theory.

Most likely bullshit:

The photos I could find did not show an “earpiece” at all, but a supposed wire running down her back under her clothes, which was either for the lapel mike she was wearing or the cloaking device that prevents us from seeing her true lizard form. I’m leaning towards the latter. :smiley:

I heard she was actually wearing a device that suppresses any coughs.

No. But Dubya was definitely wearing a ham radio under his suit jacket during the 2004 debates.

…And everything old is new again.

I heard that it was a gizmo that produces strange behavior in mics that are positioned 12 feet away from the device. And produces strange behavior in the users of said mics that are also 12 feet away.

Plus it was built in Mexico and imported without paying any tax.

It was part of the appearance-suppressing technology that makes her look human instead of like a lizard from space.

Bah. Robotussers are a myth!

This is why she’s having trouble walking; the weight of all the devices she carries around under her coat. Let’s see, she wears a secret defibrillator, a secret anti-epilepsy implant, a secret transmitter, a secret earpiece… I think she’s more machine than man at this point.

Now I REALLY can’t wait to vote for her! All hail our powerful new cyborg leader!

If Hillary were a space lizard she wouldn’t be trying to stop global warming.

It’s probably the earpiece George W Bush supposedly wore in 2004

Wow. Trumplings are getting terribly desperate, aren’t they?

In the next debate, there should be a simple new rule to make sure no one is wearing any hidden communication devices. Both candidates must appear nude. It’s the only way to be sure.

Post 4, dude. Sheesh.

You only say that because you’re a space lizard trying to hide the truth.

Meanwhile, for the OP: the debates are administered by a non-partisan Commission for Presidential Debates, and the ground rules are agreed upon long in advance. Although I don’t have time to search for the actual rule, it’s dead certain that the ground rules would include whether or not the candidates are allowed to have an audio feed from offstage coaches.

Well, aside from your misspelling ‘troof’, I admit it, you’ve got me. Hisssss…
