(2,322 posts)To be fair, Hillary's had agents around her for a long time; she knows how they work, their protocols, how to trust and rely on them.
To be fair, Donald is new to agents and big, not always controllable crowds. That is the difference between being a national leader and a celebrity. And one of the many reasons Donald is not fit to be President...he only knows how to be a celebrity. This is part of the job when you're a national leader, these unexpected scares and agents with protocols, and Donald either has to be a natural at adapting to them (which he's clearly not) or learn how to adapt to them (which I'm not sure he can even if he's willing).
To Hillary, this is old hat. She'd been swimming these waters for 25 years.

(81,220 posts)She's tough as nails, and cool as a cucumber. And they've thrown more shit at her than Donald can eat - or spew - in a lifetime.

(28,928 posts)It shows him as weak and fearful which is the opposite of what he wants everyone to think.

(2,322 posts)Donald'sjump and react as violently as he does; they huddle together, scared, under attack, not knowing what to do next--his reaction fosters theirs. Hillary agents rush up and go on guard, like her. They don't look ready to run or shoot from the hip.
It looks to me like she stays steady not only because that's how she handles things--focus, figure out, act--but also because she *knows* her agents have this. She can rely on them to let her know if she needs to leave or if she can go on. I like that about Hillary, a lot. She knows how to rely on capable people to do their job so she can do hers.

(2,166 posts)She appears to have a one black, one asian and one white guy. The Donald's all appear to be white. Coincidence?

(2,322 posts)...secret service assigned white agents to Donald to avoid hassles at his rallies, and a racial mix to Hillary because they wouldn't get hassled at her rallies

(62,269 posts)Little known fact about democrats but they take diversity in assignments / appointments very seriously. You won't find many policy proposals that leave it out.

(3,056 posts)What caused his reaction? It looked like secret service came in to keep Trump from going after someone.
Moonwalk
(2,322 posts)...under attack. This given his reaction. Which looked to be one of fear, like he was facing someone with a weapon. I think his reaction was due to some loud noise or shouting.
