ST. LOUIS — Donald Trump’s campaign sought to intimidate Hillary Clinton and embarrass her husband by seating women who have accused former president Bill Clinton of sexual abuse in the Trump family’s box at the presidential debate here Sunday night, according to four people involved in the discussions.

The campaign’s plan, which was closely held and unknown to several of Trump’s top aides, was thwarted just minutes before it could be executed when officials with the Commission on Presidential Debates intervened.

The commission officials warned that, if the Trump campaign tried to seat the accusers in the elevated family box, security officers would remove the women, according to the people involved, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the discussions were confidential.

(…)

The discussions continued up until the debate programming began. After issuing his warning, Fahrenkopf and co-chairman Mike McCurry, a former Clinton White House press secretary, took the stage to make pre-debate announcements. At that point, the co-chairmen were not certain whether the Trump campaign would abide by Fahrenkopf’s order. A Republican strategist later said that it was only when Fahrenkopfsaw Giuliani leading the women to other seats that he knew the campaign had backed down.

Going full Breitbart - Their plan was to have these women confront Bill as the debate started.

This morning, on the Sunday shows, Giuliani said Trump wouldn't bring up Broddrick tonight.
And here the liar was was trying to put her in the family box in the from row.

And, as we all know, this was a Roger Stone production and one of the women was paid $2,500 to attend:

According to Robert Costa, Trump is now demanding the head of the debate commission step down before the next one. Looks like we have his excuse to pull out of No.3.

3. Because engineering a confrontation between (alleged) abuse victims

and their (alleged) abuser is really respectful of their well-being.

Nauseating.

...that Trump might just (1) pay them and (2) create a distraction in the midst of the debate.

6. Chris Matthews jaw dropped when he heard about this....

I get the feeling he would have wanted it to happen just for the theater.

10. Of course Chris Matthews was surprised, he interviewed Trump in 1998 AND.....

Trump called Paula Jones a LOSER! Look what else he said...."And a little bonus on what Trump used to think about Bill Clinton’s accusers is that he once pretty much said the only reason why the then-president got in trouble was because Lewinsky was ugly. “It’s sad because he would go down as a great President if he had not had this scandal,” Trump said in a 1999 interview with Maureen Dowd. “People would have been more forgiving if he’d had an affair with a really beautiful woman of sophistication. Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe were on a different level.”

THERE IT IS folks, why Donald thinks we don't care that he cheated on his wives. Because we are shallow...hey its ok the pussy was pretty! UG!

8. What would Bill have done?

It was weird enough seeing him shake hands with the Trump spawn.

Which means Hillary won, again.

Trump is a gutless bully who will always back down when confronted.
