Clinton wanted to say ‘back up, you creep’ to Trump at debate

Quote:
Hillary Clinton writes in her new book that Donald Trump's attempts to "intimidate" her during the presidential debates made her "skin crawl" and she wanted to tell him to "back up, you creep."

“What would you do? Do you stay calm, keep smiling and carry on as if he weren’t repeatedly invading your space?” the former Democratic nominee asks in "What Happened," excerpts of which were released by MSNBC's "Morning Joe" early Wednesday.

“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, so back up.’ "


If she had said those things or something similar she would have been elected. But she let her hubby humiliate her so why was this any different and how would it have been and different if as President she let Putin invade her space or grab her inappropriately?

Hillary's a pretty powerful woman. If she were elected, I doubt that she would have been intimidated by other world leaders.

She probably wasn't intimidated by Trump. It's more likely that she was irritated by him.

It wouldn't have made a difference, it may have even turned more people against her. It would no doubt have made angry feminists cheer, but normal people would see it as bitchy or hysterical overreaction. The headlines would have read "Crazy" Hillary throws hissy fit after Trump tries to shake her hand or some such.
