Wrong on the static. All manner of performers use wireless mics who run and jump all over the place with no static. I wear wireless units for both my mic and my guitar. No static.
It depends on the clothing, the mic and the location. Static build-up is always a factor that must be considered.
Wrong again. Gaffers tape should not be applied directly to the skin. Surgical tape is made for that exact purpose.
I did not say it should be applied to the skin. I said tape, in general, should not be placed on the skin, unless absolutely necessary.
Again, provide some evidence to your theory. I'm not going to run in circles arguing about this.

You don't know what you are talking about. As a person who wears them often, static mitigation is a non issue.
Yes, you did say it was applied to the skin.
without the wires becoming unplugged or at least painfully pulling the skin as they would using your gaffer tape scenario.
So what exactly was that long strip of alleged gaffers tape visible on her back taped to? It was either taped to her, which you said should not happen. Or, it was taped to her garment, which said should not happen. (no one tapes a mic to the garment. Period.) So what EXACTLY are you trying to say? Was it taped up her back or was it taped to her garment? And why was it run straight up the middle of her back then over her shoulder when it should have been run around her waist?
Don't forget to ask for clothing that will allow you to hang a microphone in the first place. The business suit is your safest bet, since the gentleman's tie gives you a central location for the capsule. Run the cable under the label on the back, which holds the cord firmly in place and out of sight. If the look is casual and there is no tie, remember to figure out which way the talent will be looking towards camera. Place the mike on that lapel and dress the cable under the jacket with a quality gaffer tape like Permacel, which leaves no sticky residue on someone's expensive wardrobe.
If female talent is wearing some kind of bow-shaped neckwear, be on the lookout for clothing noise or static discharge, since this neckwear is usually made of Rayon or silk. Open shirts and sweaters present a different problem. Dangling cables look ugly and make noise, but you have to be something of a diplomat to get your talent to run a capsule and cable up their clothing so you can anchor it to the top of the sweater or the area around the second button of the shirt. If the sweater has a high neck, you'll need to audition the sound, since the mike will be under the chin. Moving it an inch either way on the neckline can make a big change in the tone quality of the voice. Use the microphone clip to route the cable behind the mike and under the clothing. It gives you a cleaner look and extra strain relief on the cable.
Why don't you respond to the question about the Snopes article? Snopes showed pictures of the Lavalier mics the candidates used. The wire diameter is 1.5mm.
I am not asking you to prove it was or wasn't an ear piece or a mic. Just answer the questions directly.

LOL, yup, exactly. Only Liberals and Snowflakes would say she didn't cheat.
Preparation and intelligent answers will appear to some as cheating when the candidate they support is utterly incapable of the same.

OMG... It's the broadcast transmitter for her wireless microphone! Come on... get a grip folks.
That being said, Donald Trump complained that he was given one with weak batteries...or something like that.

Why don't you explain why someone who wants to cheat would use a wire that is so easily visible? I noticed you skipped that part of my reasoning, but don't worry I won't let you side step it. It's fun making you look silly with your super biased craziness here.

Why would anyone believe she cheated unless they have evidence?

Because of who she is.
That logic makes no sense.

I guess you forget scandal after scandal and the path of destruction that she has done. Selective memory much?
Anyone claiming she doesn't cheat or wouldn't cheat, or at the very least, wouldn't put it past her for cheating, needs their head checked.
It could also appear to be a bigger wire if the person that placed the mic on Hillary used gaffer's tape to hold it in place. That is quite common.

The point is that it's on you to suggest what that is then. If 1.5 mm wire was used, and it likely was, and that bulge you're seeing isn't 1.5mm wire, then what's your explanation as to what we're seeing?

The same people who claim this was a wire feeding her information rather than for her mic, are the same people claiming she had a super small nearly invisible ear piece feeding her information in previous events.
