Bathroom Distance Was Cause For Concern For Clinton Campaign Before Debate

The Daily Caller reports:

A gender gap of sorts is being blamed for an embarrassing moment during Saturday’s presidential debate when Hillary Clinton returned late to the debate stage after taking a bathroom break.

According to The New York Times, Clinton campaign vice chairwoman, Huma Abedin, expressed concern to debate organizers before Saturday’s contest, held in the gymnasium of St. Anselm College in New Hampshire, over the relatively long trek the Democratic front-runner would have to make to go to the bathroom.

Facilities for Clinton’s debate opponents, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, were “significantly closer” to the debate venue, The Times reported.

Anticipating a problem, Abedin reportedly timed how long it would take Clinton to walk from podium to potty and determined that a round-trip would take the former secretary of state three minutes and 30 seconds of walking time. That posed a problem because of ABC News’s five minute commercial break, which was dictated by the network’s live broadcasting schedule.
