Bill Clinton’s wife, as I may have mentioned yesterday, claims she was shaken by the presence of Donald Trump on the debate stage with her.
“This is not okay, I thought,” Clinton said, reading from her book. “It was the second presidential debate and Donald Trump was looming behind me. Two days before, the world heard him brag about groping women. Now we were on a small stage and no matter where I walked, he followed me closely, staring at me, making faces.
“It was incredibly uncomfortable. He was literally breathing down my neck. My skin crawled. It was one of those moments where you wish you could hit pause and ask everyone watching, ‘Well, what would you do?’ Do you stay calm, keep smiling and carry on as if he weren’t repeatedly invading your space? Or do you turn, look him in the eye and say loudly and clearly, ‘Back up, you creep. Get away from me. I know you love to intimidate women, but you can’t intimidate me, so back up.’”
Um, granny, you just admitted that he could, and did, intimidate you. Or does your skin crawl and do you have to grip your microphone “extra hard” every time you aren’t intimidated?
She’s actually been slapping this card on the counter since at least 2000, when she whined that Rick Lazio “bullied” her by crossing the stage during the debate and asking her to sign a pledge not to take what Democrats now call “Dark Money” in her senate campaign. (She refused, by the way.)
So this old, haggard feminist claims that Donald Trump and Rick Lazio were able to bully her through the sheer force of their presence. So, Alpha Males apparently intimidate her. How the hell was she going to go toe-to-toe with Vladimir Putin? Was she going to send Tim Kaine’s thug protester son in her place?
Much as I have issues with Trump, it is increasingly clear we dodged a bullet with this one.
I really wish the old bag would just go away so I could stop posting about her.
Give it a little more time, V. As much as we all wish that she’d run in 2020, she’s far too cunning to volunteer to be the ritual sacrifice at round 2 of Reagan v Mondale ’84.
Donald trump, the sexual predator, made the skin crawl of the woman that is married to bill Clinton.
salg — and don’t forget, her best friend (wink wink) is married to Anthony Weiner.
It’s a blatant attempt to try to normalize herself. She’s been grifting for so long & has been a legend in her own mind; someone had to have told her she needed to appear human if she wanted to stay in the limelight. Does she have a choice since losing & then finding herself in a position of being that old bag on the shelf that’s been looked at & returned so much that it’s now well-used? She would have had to make promises to donors & they would have reluctantly given big cash despite her track record. The only thing she had to market was her ability to lie & avoid become a non-stick surface. People looked at her & heard her promises & saw that no one was blaming her for Benghazi. They could see the field of GOP candidates, which included Trump, arrayed against her & they said, Okey doky. One more time. Then she lost.
She either redeems herself to some degree in order to appear in public spaces that don’t necessarily contain people that will applaud her fabricated persona; or she retires from sight. If she wants a chance at being a senator again, she has to weave another web, stir another cauldron & cast another spell.
Doesn’t this make the feminist message be, “I am as strong and able as a man so get that icky creep away from me.” Kind of a mixed message is being sent by this passage.
“If you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.”
If someone as benign and banal as Trump intimidated her in a public venue, how could she possibly deal with some of the genuine creeps and sicko’s that run our world??
…Maybe THAT explains her dismal performance as Secy of State.
And she was the Democratic Party’s candidate for POTUS?
…The DNC Elites have much to answer-for.
I tell you again Hillary, that skin crawling feeling is just your old scales shedding!
Did her skin literaly crawl or did it crawl metaphorically? Inquiring minds want to know.
Now for Trump literally breathing down Hillary’s neck, I want to see the trigonometry on that.
I call for breath pressures from Trump. Plot out the positions of each on the stage and trace the progress of Trump’s creepy, crawly breath attack on the first female president-apparent of the United States. Determine the exact moment in which the hot breath was felt on Hillary’s skin, causing it to crawl.
It would also be interesting to determine where Hillary’s skin crawled and how long it crawled. Did it crawl back into its original place? Were there goosebumps? Did Hillary have hot flashes? Did she feel clammy? What is her built-in creep assault physiological reaction?
How does Hillary rank the Trump-caused skin crawling with her many previous bouts of skin crawling? Is there a medication like Crawlnovia and what are its side effects?
Our pols, regardless of politics, are united in one thing: narcissism.
HRC is America’s Ex-Wife. She had a good run and we put up with her shenanigans (even when we shouldn’t have), but we got out of the relationship just in the nick of time. But like many ex-wives, she still harbors bitterness and resentment towards the spouse. If only we would have treated her right, or at least better. If only we had recognized what she contributed to the marriage, instead of taking it for granted and mocking it. If only we had just accepted that lavish spending and being treated like royalty was something she deserved. But we didn’t, and she’s not going to let us forget it. Her loyal girlfriends will help get the message out (good job, Peter of The Daou) and tell us we’re not better off without her; but we feel otherwise, even though the replacement has yet to be domesticated and has had a rocky first year so far as a newlywed.
Some ex-wives eventually move on to new spouses and better opportunities and refuse to even acknowledge their time with That One. Others spend every waking moment saying “Why me?” and wondering how someone could be so cruel as to just cast them away like last week’s garbage. They know they deserve better and they know that they were the soulmate that was meant to be, and yet, somehow, wasn’t. Life just isn’t fair! But they will make sure that anyone who will listen knows the real story. You can bet they will spend every last breath they have telling of their mistreatment. Oh yes, the ex-spouse will pay, sure enough. She will never let them forget how she was treated and remind everyone that the new wife isn’t all that and once that detail is figured out, the spouse will be truly sorry. But by then it will be too late. They had their chance, and they blew it. Even if they came crawling back, she wouldn’t let them back into the house. They made their bed and now they can lie in it. That will be the revenge (aside from writing “DECEASED” on any of his mail that comes to her address). Yes, that is the answer.
We could have had her at her full potential, but we decided to cut loose prematurely. It’s our loss. And be reminded of it until her death, we will. That’s as it should be, of course. Shame on us for doing that to her.
