Debate Commission Announces New Format For Final U.S. Presidential Debate

img_6229LAS VEGAS,  Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles, Las Vegas Bureau) – The non-profit Commission on Presidential Debates just announced a new format for the third and final debate between Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump.

The commission has finally acknowledged that time limits given to candidates to answer questions or rebutt answers of their opponents has never worked, with candidates talking over moderators and one another.

The new format will mimic what the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences does during Oscar awards night, where the end of the allotted time for acceptance speeches by winners is signaled by music which would eventually drown the speakers.

The commission believes this will make the job of the debate moderator much easier and will make  room for more questions and answers.

The music that has been selected by the commission is “Don’t Stop” by  Fleetwood Mac.

Hmmm, wasn’t that the campaign theme song of then candidate Bill Clinton?

Donald Trump’s Demand For Final Debate: No Moderator

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles, Las Vegas Bureau) – The third and final presidential debate will take place at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas on Wednesday, October 19 from 9pm EST.

Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump will face each other in a discussion moderated by Fox News Sunday presenter, Chris Wallace.

In a desperate move to bounce back from his crumbling campaign and lackluster performance in the first two debates, Trump is now demanding a new format for Las Vegas. He wants no moderator.

In past debates — in the primaries as well as the general elections — Trump had repeatedly accused, and sometimes insulted, the debate moderators for being biased towards his opponents.  In last night’s debate, Trump called out both Anderson Cooper and Martha Raddatz, saying the moderators were not giving him as much time as Clinton to respond to questions.

So, for Las Vegas, the Trump campaign wants to eliminate the moderator and have a one-on-one, face to face, smirk to smirk, sniffle to sniffle match with Clinton.

The campaign also asked the Commission on Presidential Debates to get rid of podiums, chairs and microphones to allow its candidate to dance around and stalk Clinton just like he did in St. Louis.

Asked for comment about Trump’s proposal, Clinton told The Adobo Chronicles, “Bring it on!”

In the words of Trump himself, “She doesn’t quit.  She doesn’t give up.”

And why would she?

Wikileaks: Trump’s Medical Condition Revealed

IMG_6279.PNGSTOCKHOLM, Sweden (The Adobo Chronicles, Berlin Bureau) – Who would have thought that there could be anything more damaging  to Donald Trump than the explosive audio tape in which he is heard bragging about kissing and groping women?  Well, there is.

The Sweden-based Wikileaks today released a document which apparently confirms a rare medical condition with which the Republican presidential candidate was diagnosed more than 10 years ago.

The document, a certification from Trump’s personal physician, shows that he is suffering from psychosinusitis-XL. There are only about three hundred people worldwide suffering from this condition.

Psychosinusitis-XL is a mental condition which affects a person’s brain. It alters the normal function which allows a person to determine right from wrong, truth from falsehood and childhood vs. adulthood.  The illness manifests itself through the sinuses — the reason it is called psychosinusitis.

Now we know the reason for that constant sniffling we’ve seen and heard from Trump in the last two presidential debates.

CNN’s chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta told The Adobo Chronicles that the sinus infection itself is benign but the mental condition is malignant.
