Look out behind you, Hillary!

There's a sexual predator lurking and looming back there.

Trump's attempt at intimidating was patently obvious to anyone watching. That was one of the things that I saw that disturbed me the most. Trump loomed behind her whenever she was speaking. Classic predator intimidation tactic.

3. Yup. Great loop.

He didn't succeed in intimidating her, but his behavior was noted by everyone watching, I'm sure. Schoolyard bully. In some ways, I'm glad the moderators didn't tell him to stop doing that, although I'm sure both of them noticed the behavior.

I wonder if her Secret Service contingent was on the alert. I suspect so. It's such recognizable threatening behavior.

12. I had the same thought

At one point, Donald Trump looked like he was going to physically attack Secretary Clinton! I wondered which Secret Service detail would get there first.

The things we are seeing in this election are just unbelievable.

13. The sound kills me.

Very appropriate clip for Halloween. Trump is beyond creepy!

[mainer]

17. LOL, that's great!

exactly how it felt.

[BSdetect]

2. He was trying to suppress his groper instinct by walking it off

4. Classic predator intimidation TicTac

My eyes are playing tricks on me, because that it how I first read it.

[MineralMan]

5. It was intentional. It was obvious.

It hurt him with many viewers. I believe we'll hear more about it today.

10. Gone are the days Tic Tacs are confused with birth control.

Now they are a prelude to an assault.

6. Yes. A striking, chilling visual

Trump is the Republican Party's choice to continue and to escalate their poisonous war-on-women, and upon the feminine principle as it is given healthy expression in life. Talk about toxic masculinity (R)...sheesh.

[MineralMan]

7. So it seems to me, as well.

8. Trump did not act professional last night. His stalking of Hillary looked creepy!

People missed his creepy follow her around tactics. But Trump's behavior was very unprofessional and beneath the dignity of a Presidential debate.

[MineralMan]

9. I don't think people missed it.

There are already compilation videos of his behavior circulating.

Trump and "dignity" are two words that do not belong together.

11. Trump's behavior is also typical schoolyard bully stuff.

Attempting to dominate someone by using sheer size is classic. You move in and stare, making a threatening face. Hillary didn't take the bait, of course, since she's not a person who is easily intimidated.

Still, his posture and facial expression was consistently threatening. Hillary's Secret Service protective group must have been on alert, just in case Trump did anything. I have no doubt of that. They're trained to recognize threats.

14. I suspect Hillary thought more than once that she'd like to suddenly turn on him

give him a swift kick in the balls and tell him to stop acting like the sexual predator he is-- with the penis-pointing red tie--and go sit down!

[pinboy3niner]

15. Note that Hillary never reacted. NO FEAR.

She is not one to be intimidated by such a small, small man.

[MineralMan]

16. Hillary Clinton is one tough person.

I can't imagine that she would be intimidated by any bullying type. She showed that clearly last night, and the women who were watching were surely aware of how she handled Trump's threatening behavior.
