My skin crawled.

Lady, you make my skin crawl. GO.AWAY.

Wow, were you at the Trump rally last night?

Hell, my skin would have crawled so much it would probably be inching towards Canberra, Australia by now.

I will read her book, but honestly, I wish she would withhold publication until trump has completely destroyed himself.

"Yet she said she still wonders if she should have stopped and told Trump to back off and called him a “creep.”

That’s precisely what he wanted her to do. It would have collapsed the entire rest of the debate into personal attacks with Trump crying victim while hurling invectives (I’m not the creep, you’re the creep!!"). The main point being…there would have been no more actual questions asked that he would have had to struggle with answering.

The only viable way of drawing attention to it without that happening (and it would still have been a risk), would have been to sharply turn around on him suddenly when he started creeping up and bump into him, and then “politely” tell him to back off and give her space. Attempt to embarrass him, (And yes, I say attempt, because nothing embarrasses this buffoon), but more importantly draw immediate attention to his tactic for the pundits to dissect and regurgitate for rest of the night.

Barring that, persisting like she did was the only other choice.

“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. I couldn’t get the job done, and I’ll have to live with that for the rest of my life,” Clinton said in the excerpt.”

And so do we.

Trump: And that was the intention. That is why I won all debates and all of the votes. I am really really smart.

Had she been wise enough to know that the country wanted a Wrestlemania clown for a President, she could have turned around and cold-cocked him with the microphone. That might have flipped 80K votes in WI, MI & PA…

You’d best stock up on a sufficiency of Benadryl skin cream, Darcy, coz she ain’t going away any time soon.

I think her biggest mistake was even being onstage with him at all. It gave him legitimacy.

Especially after the ‘bus’ remarks, she should have said he was a joke candidate and would not debate seriously. Which he didn’t. Unfortunately, debating him after the bus incident is how he got over that problem.
If he was that bad, why would she be on stage with him?

Yup. It was kinda like his handshake that yanks people off balance. Designed to make people feel awkward and creeped out.

Unfortunately, as a woman, the only choice she had was to react exactly as she did. Ultimately, he was the one who got the “bad press” on that.

I honestly thought her debate performances were quite good.

The stark contrast between that overbearing, out of control man-baby and her cool, calm composure, mastery of facts and fortitude to call him out directly on several occasions really stood out to me.

I think she nailed those debates.

Not that I agree with all her politics, but the debates were probably the highest points of her campaign to me.

I suppose she could have whirled around and shivved him in the neck, but that would be wrong.

coz she ain’t going away any time soon.

You may be right. Hillary’s I’m With Her girls probably have their Sharpie’s out already, making up Hillary 2020 signs …

You should have been there dommyloc, lots of young Republican grads asking for ya, hanging out in seersucker, bow ties and penny loafers.

Oh, dear! Whatever shall I do?! Someone please bring me my Ashley Furniture fainting divan, for I must surely recline in withering shock with my river-like flow of bitter, salted tears after being insulted by a third-rate Susan Sarandon impersonator.

Susan’s the best. So you loved her during RHPS but now she’s of no use to you? SAD.
