Hillary Clinton calls Donald Trump a ‘creep,’ says her ‘skin crawled’ during debate
Washington Post ^ | 8-23-17 | Cleve R. Wootson Jr. and Amy B Wang

Posted on 08/23/2017 7:48:42 AM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

Hillary Clinton said her “skin crawled” as Donald Trump loomed behind her at a presidential debate in St. Louis, and added that she wished she could have pressed pause and asked America, “Well, what would you do?”

The words, Clinton’s most detailed public comments about what happened during one of the campaign’s more memorable moments, are included in her new book, “What Happened,” which she called an attempt to “pull back the curtain” on her losing bid for the presidency.

Some of the moments during the campaign, she said, “baffled” her. Others seemingly repulsed her: In recounting the October incident, she referred to Trump as a “creep.”

The book comes out Sept. 12, but audio excerpts, read by Clinton, were played Wednesday morning on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

In the recording, Clinton noted that she wrote about moments from the campaign that she wanted to remember forever — as well as others she wished she could “go back and do over.”

The moment from the debate appeared to fall into the latter category.

“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. ..."

What made her skin crawl was gravity. It happens when you get old and fat.

Just seeing this B$tch or her rapist husband makes the 62+ million Trump voters’s skin crawl.

Obama, she and her rapist husband enabled Trump to become our president.

"I wonder how long it took her to come up with this excuse?"

At this point in her life, all she has left, is to make up excuses.

She has very high standards. Consider her spouse Bill Clinton.

As a germophobe, I’m sure the debates were no walk in the park for Donald. I mean, he had to get near, and even shake hands with, an amorphous blob of evil that reportedly smells of urine, cabbage and farts.

I thought that's what political campaigns were all about. Sounds like she didn't believe her "polls" either. She knew he was "breathing down her neck" during the debates.

Maybe it’s a side effect from all those years of Botox?

My skin crawls every time I see her or her disgusting husband or Webb Hubbell’s daughter.

The media thinks that is how a president should act.

"Now we were on a small stage and no matter where I walked, he followed me closely,...”

She used the same excuse when she debated Rick Lazio...claimed he was menacing her when he walked across the stage to present her with a with a campaign finance pledge to sign. Always playing the victim. If she gets intimidated by men that easily, it's even more of a reason why she should never be President.
