CHECK ALL DEBATE PARTICIPANTS FOR COVERT EARPIECES. KEEP ELECTIONS HONEST.

THE KUHNS REPORT

CALIF: Hello America,and how is the world treating you?

The other day, a television forum was held featuring Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Each candidate took separate turns before the cameras. However, it was insinuated that  candidate  Hillary Clinton was wearing an earpiece during her interview. What? The Clinton camp denies the accusation but people on the Internet and social media are buzzing with stories that she did wear a listening device.

If, in fact, that is the case, and she was  wearing a listening device  throughout her interview. I call  it "dirty pool." Can you imagine the uproar there would have been  from the Clinton campaign if Trump was  seen or alleged to have  been wearing a listening device?

If she was wearing a listening device she had an enormous advantage. Wow! Her team and staff could feed her answers to the questions being asked by the moderator. They could also instruct her when to sit or stand  to emphasize a point in the interview. Fact is, the interview could be manipulated in her favor.

To be on the safe side, I would suggest to the television networks, the moderators and the sponsors of any political forum, town hall or  debate to actually check each person taking part in the debate for earpieces or listening devices immediately before the  start of any debate or interview. In addition, following each and every break , prior to returning to the stage, each individual should be checked again so as to prevent any one of the debaters from obtaining a listening device during their breaks.

For those doubters that say a person involved in a debate cannot be equipped with such a device. I say, "grow up." As an example, at the present time most news anchors, moderators, and commentator on television already wear very sophisticated earpieces as they report each and every day. Their production directors are always talking in their ear telling them when to break or what to do or say.

Some devices are so small they are near undetectable. And is not unthinkable that  aides, handlers, and managers from both the Democrat and Republican campaigns have access to some of the most sophisticated electronics out there. And, I wouldn't put it past either campaign to try to secure an edge in the presidential debates. Hell, the Democrats have already manipulated electronics by setting up secret private servers off and away from governmental sites, altering and destroying electronic emails and destroying Blackberry's and mobile devices, (with hammers.). So what would make a reasonable person think that some of these same people would  not try to find a way to manipulate and covertly use other electronic aids.

If in fact, Clinton was wearing a listening device, all she was doing was parroting  what some campaign aide was whispering in her ear and telling her what to say in response to the questions being asked. So all Clinton would have been doing was acting like a puppet, with someone else pulling her strings. If that's the case, that's sad -- and it's cheating.

NO ONE taking part in a debate, especially a political or presidential debate, should be allowed to wear an earpiece of any kind during  the event. In any political or presidential debate, the  viewing audience should be assured and guaranteed that they are  hearing only the words coming out of the mouths of  the individuals standing on the stage,without the help or assist of anyone else feeding them material.

It is obvious the advantage a person has who may be wearing  an earpiece and/or listening device against a person who is not wearing one. So, let's keep our political and presidential debates HONEST and ABOVE BOARD.  The audience has an absolute right to know, who, if anyone, is using an earpiece on stage during debates. -- And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.
