Why DIDN'T the moderators tell Trump to stop stalking Hillary?

Would it really have been asking too much to tell him to stay seated or at least stay still while she talked?

Perhaps they did it to showcase her effortless composure in the presence of such pure creepy behavior by Trump. Had she complained in any way I'm sure they would have intervened.

One of the strongest visuals of the night was her absolute composure and competence (and healthy, radiant beauty, I might add) in directly addressing the questions posed by people in the audience, while draft-dodger Trump lurked menacingly behind her, sniffing like a deranged Cokehead at a Casino (R).

Years from now this will be one of the classic examples of what NOT to do in a debate

The music could be a little more ominous but the optics of an incredibly dark campaign commercial are there

Trump made himself look like the quintessential sexual predator by doing so. That imagery will not help him!

He looked like a shark circling a potential meal, but she wasn't rattled and his intimidation attempts will be laughed at over the next week.
Just like Hillary let most of his turds just fall and stink on the stage. He whined about 'unfair' moderating several times (trying to game them) and she looked as capable as we know she is.
