Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton says in her new book that Donald Trump made her skin crawl by stalking her around the stage in a campaign debate and she wonders if she should have told him to "back up, you creep".
In audio excerpts of the book What Happened aired on MSNBC, Mrs Clinton described her 2016 campaign as "joyful, humbling, infuriating and just plain baffling" and acknowledged she failed her millions of supporters by losing to Trump in the November election.
In the excerpts, Mrs Clinton described the 9 October debate in St Louis in which Mr Trump followed her closely about the stage, lurking behind her as she fielded questions from a live television audience. The debate came two days after an audiotape emerged in which Mr Trump was heard bragging about groping women.
"This is not OK, I thought," Mrs Clinton said. "It was the second presidential debate and Donald Trump was looming behind me.
"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.'"
Mrs Clinton said she chose the first option.
"I kept my cool, aided by a lifetime of dealing with difficult men trying to throw me off," she said.
But she questioned whether she should have chosen the second option.
"It certainly would have been better TV," she said. "Maybe I have over-learned the lesson of staying calm, biting my tongue, digging my fingernails into a clenched fist, smiling all the while, determined to present a composed face to the world."
Mrs Clinton said writing the book, due to be released in the coming weeks, "wasn't easy".
"Every day that I was a candidate for president, I knew that millions of people were counting on me and I couldn't bear the idea of letting them down. But I did," she said. "I couldn't get the job done."
Hillary is a world renowned expert on all things creep.
Because she was married to one, and vise-versa.
This from a woman who smells like she’s been on a 3 day bender of Alcohol and fishing for Mackerel half the time.
Now she knows how countless women have felt with Bill in the room.
She should know better than that by now...I imagine Trump won’t take that sitting down.
I imagine something along the lines of “after years of living with Bill Clinton she should be used to sexual predators”
If I remember correctly, it was exactly BECAUSE Lazio “invaded her space” during that debate, that one of the rules in all future debates has been that candidates are to remain a certain distance from each other. They are not supposed to approach one another.
I wonder if the sight of Ole Vince taking 2 “suicide” rounds to the back of his head Creeped her out?
Can botoxed skin crawl
She is in NO WAY qualified to be POTUS.
This country needs someone who can handle the tough stuff.
Not someone whose "skin crawls" at the thought of someone leering at her.
She needs to MTFU
Nah, Trump didn’t make her skin crawl. Her skin crawls because she’s a shape shifter, and she hasn’t got control over it.
Nah. That wasn’t Trump giving making your skin crawl, Hil; it was your guilty conscience, trying to get your attention. Oh, wait...you don’t have a conscience; you’ve seared it with years of deliberate evil. Never mind.
NY Times, Oct 3,1998...
In an E-mail to Mrs. Tripp, Ms. Lewinsky says:
“I will also be checking my messages in the hopes that the creep will call and say, ‘Thank you for my love note. I love you. Will you run away with me?’
What do you think the likelihood of that happening is?”
And Mrs. Tripp encourages her:
“Ah, but that has already transpired, says my omnipotent crystal ball,” and “You will come home to an opportunity to get together with the creep, I am positive.”
Hillary doesn’t mind it when Huma has her strap-on hooked up and is backdoor ‘breathing down her neck’........
Hitlery should have had no fear of Trump grabbing her by the hoo-ha as she was protected by her giant Depends diaper.
I don't know if she actually thought this at the time? Who knows? Who can say?
But it certainly sounds like something she could easily have concocted with her ghosts in order to get people interested in the book.
I watched a video on You Tube of a body language expert analyzing the 2016 presidential debates. This expert is very good. I’ve watched many of her videos.
She said that during the debates, Hillary Clinton kept aggressively invading Donald Trump’s space, and he refused to back down and cede the whole stage to her.
I rewatched the debates, and sure enough, Hillary kept crossing over to his side of the stage, trying to force him to step back, and he wouldn’t. It was a power play on her part that failed, and now she’s whining about it.
“I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HISTORICAL!!!!!”
We’re even. America’s President makes her skin crawl. The evil, power-hungry witch he defeated makes my skin crawl. Maybe she can disappear into the woods, only to be seen by carefully vetted supporters, so neither of us has to experience that again.
Even the media, illegals voting,holywood and millions of of ill gotten dollars couldn’t get this nasty hag elected.
The bitch set the whole scenario up so that she could make this claim. If you look at videos, she positioned herself in his space. Everything she does is fraudulent.
