Trump's "cringe" debate moment, invading Hillary's personal space, versus debating Kamala Harris in 2024

In the YouTube clip, Hillary says "my skin crawled" as Trump "loomed behind her."

Now, other than the fact that it was common knowledge that Trump was a bully and a creep, she really had no reason to expect that he's do that. The moment was SO BAD that when Alec Baldwin did a "parody" of it on SNL, his goofy, over-the-top representation of what happened wasn't as creepy as what DID happen.

She has no way of knowing this was going to happen and I'm not saying Kamala is "tougher." Not at all.

I'm saying Kamala saw that moment, as did the rest of America, and while Hillary didn't know the depths Trump would sink to until he went there, NOW WE ALL KNOW, and NONE of that nonsense will fly IF Trump actually agrees to a debate.

IF IT HAPPENS in September, Kamala will have tenderized that fucking beef over the course of a month or longer. She will have gone on the campaign trail, in front of the media, informing (or perhaps reminding) America that Trump is a 78 year old criminal, a convicted felon, an adjudicated rapist, and someone accused of sexual abuse by an additional 25+ women.

I'm pretty confident that if Hillary had seen that moment coming, she would have been forceful in her push-back. Kamala Harris sees it coming. There will be no "stalking" or "looming" this time around, and if he TRIES that crap, he will destroy himself in fronto of a national TV audience.

That's what the tea leaves are telling me. I could be wrong. i don't think I am. He's probably going to hate her more than he hates Obama by the time the debates happen. Factor that in with a guy who has no sense of self-restraint and a woman who is neither afraid of nor intimidated by him and anything could happen.

My Mom once reflexively slapped my sister and me when we snuck up on her like that once as children. We never did it again. I'd have done so with TSF and I only wish that Hillary had as well.
