And were you asleep for the prior debates?

But hey ... maybe Bernie can call her a corporate whore ... I think many of his supporters on DU would be thrilled.

I was simply taking the OP's point of Bernie intimidating Hillary to the next logical step.

Why stop at invading her personal space ... he might as well push her.

She's clearly asking for it.

(do I even need this ... ??)

Romney tried this President Obama during the debates by jumping up and getting in his space during their town hall debates. Donald Trump and Ted Cruz will try the same thing. This is pretty standard stuff. Some folks get rattled by it both men and women. Just because Hillary can't deal with it, does not mean that all women can't deal with it.

Clinton awkwardly tried to shake Lazio's hand as he towered over her, his finger wagging in her face. In the hours and days after the debate, Clinton's team worked mightily to turn this interaction to her advantage. Clinton aide Ann Lewis told the press that Lazio had "spent much of the time being personally insulting." Howard Wolfson, another veteran Clinton hand, said Lazio was "menacing" to Clinton.

"They saw this opportunity and they drove it and that's the clip that was on TV over and over again," Lazio says now. The next day, media outlets began to embrace Wolfson's portrayal of Lazio as a sexist bully. "In Your Face," proclaimed a headline in the Daily News. Jon Stewart titled his segment on the debate "Rodham 'N Creep." Eventually, the Clinton campaign's depiction became the dominant assessment. Lazio was "Darth Vader with dimples," Gail Collins wrote in the New York Times later that week. Clinton went on to win by 12 points."......
