McAuliffe Suggests He’d Knock Out Trump During a Debate: ‘You Would Have To Pick Him Off The Floor’

Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D.) suggested Thursday that he would knock out President Donald Trump during a debate if Trump tried to intimidate him or get in his space.

Asked by MSNBC's Chris Matthews what he would do if Trump tried to intimidate him as Hillary Clinton said he was trying to do during their 2016 town hall debate, McAuliffe said Trump would have to be picked up off the floor.

"What would you do in a debate with him if he tried that? If he came over and leaned over back of you, what would you do?" Matthews asked.

"You would have to pick him up off the floor," McAuliffe said.

Matthews cracking up in laughter at that thought, followed up with McAuliffe.

"OK, you mean, you'd deck him?" Matthews asked.

"Listen, this guy got in my space, you want to get in my space, I've always said, Chris, you punch me back twice as hard, and it wouldn't be hard to do it," McAuliffe said. "This guy thinks he can intimidate everybody. It's disgraceful and embarrassing, but I tell you, when we take him on, back in his face with the facts, don't take anything from him and hit him back as hard as you possibly can."

"But if he ever came over and leaned on me and got in my space, that would be the last time Donald Trump ever did that, I promise you that," McAuliffe added.

Matthews thanked McAuliffe for his "performance" and told McAuliffe his comments "will go viral."

"You sound like an Irish-American politician," Matthews said.

McAuliffe, who is about to leave office, has consistently given coy responses when asked if he's running for president in 2020.

The only McAuliffe who might have been able to take out President Trump. And only if he was trying to steal second.

So un-Presidential! Imagine a slug fest and the Democrat-Communist gets arrested on live TV for assault!

Yet, the dumb-dumb media are upset about a word taken out of context in a private meeting.

McAuliffe’s campaign would die shorely after Trump nicknamed him. If it was Crooked-Hillary, I suppose you’d call him Bagman-McAuliffe? Tie him to Hillary and he’d sink like a stone. Guerrilla debating.

I am pretty sure Terrible Terry would be floored himself by a Global (Right) Crossing event.

There was no reason that Central NY should have exported this Clinton bag man to terrorize the great state of VA. He can be confined close to “home.” We have salt mines with plenty of room in the event GITMO gets overcrowded.

Revisionist history of the debate: Hillary walked in front of Trump... after election accused Trump of being a Creeper. It’s opposite day in lib-land!! The hatred is so strong towards President Trump... The true Creeper was Hillary!

He had kids change their goals. In the old days, kids wanted to be like the President when they grew up. Under Clinton and thanks to people like McAuliffe, kids wanted to grow up to be a DNC bagman or an unindicted co-conspirator.

One other of historical note.

Terry “The Punk” isn’t even fit to share the same name with either of them.

These democRATS have been kicking sand in our faces and throwing sticks and stones at Trump and his supporters since he was elected. It’s only getting worse.

Now, if the democRATS don't like your politics, they will take a gun and shoot a Republican congressman on a ball field, critically wounding him.

Or they will chicken sh*t attack a Republican Senator from the back while he's mowing his lawn, crushing his ribs.

Now we have a sitting democRAT governor threatening physical violence against the President by bragging he would punch him in the face. Talk about childish. Has the Secret Service talked to this guy yet?

Excuse me, but aren't these the same people who think Donald Trump is mentally unstable and unfit to hold office?

My goodness. This is absurd. They really are trying to instigate a physical civil war.

But our side has all the weapons. I'm sure it will be over quickly.

Hey Terry. The Donald represents me. I think you should try knocking me out first.

Let's see how that goes.

Clinton butt-boy.

Good point. And a few good old fashioned duels could help reduce the problem ?
