NYT: "Sniffing and glowering, Mr. Trump prowled behind her . . ."

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/10/opinion/mr-trump-goes-low.html?action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=span-abc-region®ion=span-abc-region&WT.nav=span-abc-region&_r=0

Donald Trump boiled his decadent campaign down to one message during the presidential debate on Sunday night: hatred of Hillary and Bill Clinton.

With knock-kneed Republican officeholders at last summoning the nerve to desert him, Mr. Trump went to lengths to demonize Hillary Clinton — blaming her even for his own failure to pay taxes — and to remind his hard core of supporters that he is all that stands between her and the presidency.

If he were in charge, Mr. Trump told Secretary Clinton at one point, “You’d be in jail.”

When Mrs. Clinton called Mr. Trump out for his failure to apologize to the minorities, immigrants and women he’s offended, he responded by promising vengeance. Should he win, he said, he would unleash a special prosecutor to investigate her.

Sniffing and glowering, Mr. Trump prowled behind her as Mrs. Clinton presented herself again as the only adult on stage, the only one seeking to persuade the great majority of Americans that she shares their values and aspirations. Mr. Trump, by contrast, fell back on the tricks he has learned from his years in pro wrestling and reality television, making clear how deep his cynicism goes and how little regard he has for his party, let alone the presidency.

"Mr. Trump struggled once again to construct coherent statements of his own policies, wandering down strange, shadowy alleyways "

Yeah, that is what the opponent does in interviews...make sure in camera..pissed off..ready to go...fierce faced. I think that's right. He used his pro wrestling experience. That's so funny.

He looked like a complete ass.

I'd be scrubbing my skin with steel wool if I was a Republican. I cannot summon the words to describe Donald's childish vindictive behavior.

I can only imagine how much worse his rhetoric will become as more sexually abusive tapes are revealed.
