2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumMartha Raddatz was visibly pissed off at Trump.
The more Trump interrupted and loomed around behind Clinton, the sharper the moderator's cautionary statement became. It was clear to me that she quickly had had enough of Trump's bullying behavior and jumped in to quell the bully.
I wonder if she has experienced bullying by men in her life and has become tired to death of it.
I was proud of her, frankly. She actually tried to "moderate" the debate.

(129,061 posts)I would proffer to say that any and every woman in a workforce that includes men - particularly if they have been there for some time and probably moreso in the occupation that she is in, HAVE been bullied or experienced some sort of dismissive, back-handed, or outright intimidating behavior from them - even if they are not their bosses. It is part of the generational socialization of the male in this society.

(1,712 posts)She was furious. No need to ask what may have happened in her past when noticing it. If you're not furious this election cycle, you're not paying attention.

(146,317 posts)Despite their attempts to keep it under control, Trump worked equally hard to take over. An impossible job is what they had.

(15,543 posts)...while some of Trump's lies were obscure, most of them were bald and brazenly gross.
I won't stand for that, and apparently neither will M. Raddatz.
On the other hand, the Republicans just lap the lies up with dull stare-into-space faces.
