Yeah who woulda thunk it... not only did she have a mic to keep her on track with someone whispering in her ear what the next step is and what to say she also had a teleprompter as well..
No big deal we are going to elect someone who can't even talk for a few minutes without being told exactly what to do and say the entire time while being drugged up and dragged around like weekend at Bernie's.
Burn world burn.

Oh, there are times that they do. But, yes, the vast majority of the time they have folks to consult, at the very least.
But at a debate that they've been prepping for for months? ...and you need Cliff notes? Sad. Pitiful, even. Says little positive for their abilities to think on their feet, or even remember the party platform...and what little it says is:
We're screwed. We're so, so, soooooo screwed.
If I can stay on point, sort of...why can't they?

That's my major issue, too. The two putz's running for Pres. from the major parties.
Taking notes is fine. Anything else is a bit too canned for my tastes, y'know?

Teleprompter? Or a tablet with notes? Kinda hard to tell.
...and it looks to me as if Trump went old school with the ever popular clipboard.
Neither should have anything to reference. If you can't state your case by now, without referencing notes, maybe you should rethink this whole "I wanna be in the White House" thingee...?
Gods. We're so screwed. So very, very screwed.
Who's going to tell her what to do and say during a crisis???

Entirely possible that that is what's happened.
My entire point, and perhaps I've failed to make it properly, is that they shouldn't be necessary. I can see taking notes during the debate so as to have whatever points your opposition down correctly for later refutation.
The only way a teleprompter would work is if they had knowledge of the topic ahead of time. Which, to my mind, would defeat the entire purpose of the debates, which is to see how they think on their feet, and to explain their plans in their own words... Anything else might as well be a thirty second commercial during the Walking Dead.
