Hillary Clinton says 'creep' Donald Trump's debate stalking made her 'skin crawl'
Radio New Zealand ^ | August 23, 2017

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."

“I kept my cool, aided by a lifetime of dealing with difficult men trying to throw me off,” she said.

Right like throwing ashtrays?

Screaming obscenities when you didn’t get your widdle way?

Treating SS Agents assigned to you like crap?

What other ways have you “kept your cool” L O S E R?

Yeah, and Rick Lazio accosted her during her Senate campaign debate. This witch needs to find herself a new schtick if she wants to claim victimhood.

According to Monica Lewinsky and her friend Linda Tripp, Hillary, your husband was the creep. And not just any kind of a creep. A BIG creep...

Newsweek, via Washington Post, Feb 2, 1998

“As Lewinsky told the story, she had flirted with Clinton at a White House office party for the legislative-affairs staff (where Lewinsky worked after her internship expired) in November 1995. Lewinsky was wearing a revealing dress; Clinton took a more-than-avuncular interest. Tripp was somewhat disapproving – she began referring to Clinton as “the big creep” – but she was eager for details.

In one conversation (taped by Tripp, without Lewinsky’s knowledge), Monica, while discussing how many men she had slept with, failed to mention the president. “What about the big creep?” asked Tripp. “No,” said Monica. “There was no penetration.” Lewinsky said Clinton preferred oral sex. (It may or may not be relevant that one of Clinton’s state troopers in Arkansas once said that the governor told him he did not consider oral sex to be adultery.) Lewinsky said that Clinton also liked phone sex; the president, she said, would awaken her at 2 or 3 a.m. to “talk dirty.”

After she went over to the Pentagon, Lewinsky visited Clinton at the White House more than a dozen times, usually during the afternoons and weekends and, on one occasion, late at night. According to Lewinsky, the two exchanged small gifts (a tie for him, a book of poetry – Walt Whitman’s “Leaves of Grass” – for her).

Lewinsky told Tripp that she was keeping, as a kind of grotesque memento, a navy blue dress stained with Clinton’s semen. Holding it up as a trophy to Tripp, she declared, “I’ll never wash it again.”

“He was literally breathing down my neck”

This is a TOTAL LIE and the latest effort by the Demoncraps and Mediascum to re-write history. Shrillary doesn’t even know what the word “literally” means. So much for her “education” at Wellesley, Yale, etc.

*******
Yep. Watched the tape on CNN’s site. Trump is a good 6-9 feet behind her at his closest approach.

And the part about her gripping the microphone harder doesn’t wash, either. You see her switch the mic from her right to her left hand so she can gesture with her right hand, and the mic is clearly being held loosely by her fingertips. If the “gripping” story was supposed to indicate how upset she was, it doesn’t check out.

Didn’t she watch the readily-available tapes at any point? She had to write, edit and then READ ALOUD HERSELF this part of the book.

Nope. You’re still at square one, still flailing and “digging ...fingernails into a clenched fist...determined to present (some kind of freaky)....face to the world.”

And to think we avoided getting the modern equivalent of Jezebel from the Old Testament into the White House....

Hillary said “her skin crawled?”

Sounds to me like she’s got a flesh-eating disease.

Course if it eats her vagina, it’s no great loss.

In retrospect, what a wise decision American citizens made on November 8!

Can one even imagine how a foreign leader might intimidate such a fearful, paranoid and "space conscious" American President??

Really!

She just can’t give up trying to matter. Can you imagine...she spent her life with a pervert because she figured he’d get her into the White House for her glorious moment of adoration by all. Then she gets beat by a totally inexperienced one term senator and then by a brand new politician who everyone said would lose.

If I were her I wouldn’t be calling any more attention to myself.
