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

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. ..."

“Hillary Clinton said her “skin crawled” as Donald Trump loomed behind her”

That’s ridiculous! Hillary Clinton’s skin crawls all by itself. It needs only to remember how uncomfortable it is to be enveloping her.

“Hillary ... says her ‘skin crawled’ during debate”

simple prescience that she was in the presence of the guy who was going to gut her like a fish at the polls and bring her criminal family dynasty crashing to earth once and for all.

Her skin, or scales, crawled only if the teleprompter illicitly mounted in her podium told them to.

This is not okay

That is weak and passive. As someone here pointed out a massively focus grouped paragraph designed to sell books.

Here is what is creepy, that Hillary suggests Trump would be so turned on by her ass that he would grope her, in public, on a stage, during a Presidential debate while millions of people were watching.
