CREEPSTER: Donald Trump Invades Hillary Clinton’s Personal Space
The Republican presidential nominee’s behavior toward Clinton during Sunday night’s St. Louis debate was downright buffoonish.

Donald Trump, who has made a career out of branding himself as a dick, took it to the stage on Sunday night and tripped over it.
With the wheels coming off his campaign, Trump needed to turn in a historically excellent performance at the second presidential debate at Washington University in St. Louis. What he delivered was one of the strangest debate performances in recent memory (surpassed only by the last presidential debate in which he participated). If he was coached at all, whoever tried to prepare him for the debate didn’t succeed in eliminating the tics that made the last debate so disastrous for him. He acted like a cartoon bully. He was a living museum exhibit on how not to be appealing to women.
Mere days after video footage surfaced of the Republican presidential nominee bragging about how much fun it is to grab unconsenting women “by the pussy,” his boorish performance was puzzling. He lumbered awkwardly around the stage, seemingly unaware of how to stand like a human person. He didn’t seem to know what to do with his face, licking his lips and appearing distracted when he wasn’t the one doing the talking. He loomed over Hillary Clinton, stalking behind her and glaring at her as she answered questions, in a manner that many women might recognize as the sort of way a man who is trying to physically intimidate them might act. He whined about the moderators, barking over co-moderator ABC News Chief Global Affairs Correspondent. Martha Raddatz when she tried to get him to answer a question about Syria. He interrupted Hillary Clinton. He just couldn’t stop himself from interjecting “WRONG” into her microphone and speaking over her during her allotted time.
Women wouldn’t find much to celebrate in the substance of Trump’s debate performance, either.
During the debate’s opening moments, Donald pointed and grinned at the alleged victims of Bill Clinton, whom he invited along as his guests and sat in the very front row in an attempt to intimidate his opponent. As threatened, he brought up the sexual past of the husband of his female opponent, demanding she feel ashamed of herself.
