Clinton missing from Dem debate !

Hillary Clinton went missing (briefly) during the Democratic debate, and it did not go unnoticed.

After the first commercial break – almost an hour into the third Democratic debate on Saturday night, ABC returned with two candidates at the podium, Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley. The former secretary of state was missing.

Rather than waiting, moderator David Muir moved forward, asking Mr. Sanders a question.
Mrs. Clinton came walking in, and said “sorry”.
(She pulled this same stunt in a previous debate)

I don't think this is a big deal at all, but if you're going to post something like that at least make sure that it's accurate. If it has happened to another female candidate or Hillary herself prior to this election then fine.

Whatever she does, it'll be a conspiracy.

It did look like burlap.
I just figured she was going for the "Friar Tuck" vote.

They were rude. Period.

If this is the big dig at Hill, it's a fail.

Maybe she has some medical issue if she requires longer than 15 minutes to go 'pee'?
This seems to be a chronic condition.

When do the candidates release their medical records?
