Clinton said Trump "was very present"

Clinton Weighs In On Trump Standing Behind Her During Debate

During Sunday night’s presidential debate viewers noticed a host of visuals that showed Donald Trump seemingly looming behind Hillary Clinton.

Clinton was asked after the debate if she realized Trump “was standing right behind her,” as she responded to a question regarding the Affordable Care Act. Clinton said she knew that Trump “was very present.”

“It was a very small space,” Clinton told reporters on her campaign plane. “And I tried to give him space whenever he was talking to people. I would go back and you know, lean up against my stool. But he was very present.”

He reminded me of the Michael Myers character in the Jaime Lee Curtis movie "Halloween."

As in, she's Hillary Rodham Clinton, and you're not.

than in the simple split screen of the first debate. There, you only had his facial expressions, which were very telling, of course. You can see his contempt and 'better-than-you' attitude written all over it.

But to watch him in that venue, excercising body language and maneuvers that probably 99% of women can recognize as over-bearing and threatening, really shows how he operates. It's something that Bill O'Rielly said, that he uses his large size as a weapon, trying to cow people he's interviewing into making gaffes.

The miserable night paid great dividends. Describing it the way she did shows how diplomatic Hillary is.
