Forget the Words: Everyone’s Talking About Trump’s Hulking Body Language -- check video

In a debate as eventful and shocking as last night’s was, it’s hard to believe that the biggest story of the night comes not from what a candidate said but rather how they acted.

Donald Trump clearly should have spent a bit more time going over debate prep with his team so that he might have known where to stand in order to not appear as the creepiest, clownest man in the room.

Instead, he paced behind Clinton as she answered questions and didn’t sit back in his designated seat for the entirety of the town hall. Trump appeared visibly frustrated when Clinton was allowed to answer a question first and whenever she did give an answer, he stood just a couple steps behind her, hulking over her shorter frame with the air of an impending assault.

As he usually does with women..., the force of his personality and his bulk would make her be quiet, rattle her, make her seem small.

Instead, he comes off as a blowhard a Frankenstein monster, a wacko jacko....

We women know his kind all too well.....

to loom and intimidate, which seems to be his MO. But it's backfired. She kept him on camera behind her, always in the shot. The camera caught every sneer and scowl. He looked like what he is, a bully and a jerk. She handled it brilliantly.

...a spoiled little wussy brat, who when cornered, tells lies about anything to try to shift focus off of his own short-comings. He comes from a species called Feces-Pithica......otherwise known as republican scum.
