Hillary should have turned, glared at him & said loudly, stop stalking me U pervert, trueblue2007 Jun 2019 #64

Women have to find mercuryblues Jun 2019 #78
IMO, the line is not imaginary, it's just very, very narrow and hard to see. marylandblue Jun 2019 #83
What? Tipperary Jun 2019 #86
Not sure what you think it sounds like. marylandblue Jun 2019 #96
That doesn't comport with reality. Caliman73 Jun 2019 #70

John McCain did the same Scarsdale Jun 2019 #63
Do you really think he would have complied? EleanorR Jun 2019 #81
Maybe she could have just said she would stop til he got seated. I think the moderator would CTyankee Jun 2019 #82
The she would have been criticized for being overly sensitive EleanorR Jun 2019 #85
Ah, but here's a retort to that: CTyankee Jun 2019 #88
Then people would have said he rattled her EleanorR Jun 2019 #90
Some people, yes. I, myself, wasn't disturbed by her ignoring him. I was furious with him, tho. CTyankee Jun 2019 #92
Your friend has no standing to tell Hillary Clinton what she "should" or should not do. cwydro Jun 2019 #120

Or just giving him a quick glance Zambero Jun 2019 #13
It must be nice to be so certain what someone else should do in a specific moment EffieBlack Jun 2019 #18
No one can ever claim to be certain Zambero Jun 2019 #29
You think she would have carried Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin if she had turned and told him EffieBlack Jun 2019 #42

"Clinton attacks Trump for walking behind her. Too sensitive to be Prez?" mcar Jun 2019 #33
She would have been called "bossy" Takket Jun 2019 #39
trump should have turned a lot of voters off, but white wingers loved it. Still hard to accept. Hoyt Jun 2019 #15
She lost with her own demographic Zambero Jun 2019 #30
That is very victim-blaming treestar Jun 2019 #19

Or not. EffieBlack Jun 2019 #44
she would have been described as a shrill angry out of control woman treestar Jun 2019 #53

You really think if she had said something, she'd have won Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan? StarfishSaver Jun 2019 #119

Well, since he voted for her I am assuming he feels she is qualified to be president. CTyankee Jun 2019 #91
Voting's important but not everything StarfishSaver Jun 2019 #94
well, we were just indulging in a conversational bash of Trump, something I often do with several CTyankee Jun 2019 #95

I don't blame Hillary marlakay Jun 2019 #93
I think you friend might need to spend some time thinking about what women face everyday. cwydro Jun 2019 #103
