Ever aware of optics, Donald Trump appeared as the dominating he-male lurking behind Hillary Clinton by following her around the stage at the final debate. There is debate that certain angles made Trump look even more menacing. But none can argue that he stayed in place and out of her zone while she spoke. Trump insisted that the stage was his.

The headlines from last night's second 2016 presidential debate are a major problem for Trump. Piled on top of his Friday sexual assault video, women are fleeing from the candidate in droves. No one felt any better last night, watching Trump stalk and photo bomb Clinton as she addressed voters directly.

Does Trump Have A Penis Problem?

Posting just now that the UK's Nigel Farage spoke to reporters in the spin room last night, comparing Donald Trump to a silverback gorilla who dominated Hillary Clinton during the debate, I decided to investigate. As the big alpha male -- Farage's words -- invading her space by standing right behind her, breathing down her neck when she spoke directly to the audience, Trump was indeed behaving like a silverback gorilla.

If Donald Trump is really a silverback gorilla -- as supporter Mr. Brexit UK politico Nigel Farage asserts -- then Donald Trump has the smallest penis of all and relies on his hulking bulk to dominate women, writes Carole Jahme. And he relies not on the size of his penis but strength and girth to dominate the females.

Personally, I'm a big fan of bonobos' social structure. Females run things and there is a lot of sexual activity of every persuasion. All are happy, perhaps because bonobos are considered to be the smartest members of the ape family and the closest relatives, along with chimpanzees, to humans.

Since Donald Trump referenced the alleged magnitude of his penis in the primary debates -- along with his brain prowess -- I've become convinced that he is just normally endowed -- or less. Donald Trump insists that everything about him is the biggest and best ever. So having a regular guy-size penis would be too much for Trump to handle.

Clinton's Greatest Debate Accomplishment Was Ignoring Trump As He Lurks Behind Her Slate

During Clinton’s time, Trump wandered around the stage like a bored child at a wedding. He paced back and forth like a patriarch impatiently allowing a woman to speak but thinking better of it. He hovered a few feet behind her like a psycho killer about to burst through a glass window in a horror movie. This move did not go over so well on social media.

TRUMP: I GUESS I'LL HAVE TO GET USED TO CLINTON'S 'SHOUTING' Politico

A young generation will soon get a front row seat at sexism in action. For all our young women -- and young men -- listen up and watch a sexist circus in action. You think America is so liberated? Think again.

Even Gov. Chris Christie's wife raised her eyebrows last night, listening to Trump talk trash about Hillary in his big speech. The man cannot help himself.

"Trump said that if she were not playing that card, "frankly ... she would be doing poorly."

Asked how he knew that, Trump replied simply, "I know it. If she was a man and she was the way she is she would get virtually no votes."

Appearing minutes later on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Trump responded to a clip of Clinton addressing her supporters in Philadelphia on Tuesday night in which she said, "if fighting for women’s health care and paid family leave and equal pay is playing the woman card, then deal me in.”

Trump said that he was still "recovering" from Clinton's "shouting."
"I know a lot of people would say you can't say that about a woman, because of course a woman doesn't shout," Trump said. "The way she shouted that message was not -- that's the way she said it, and I guess I'll have to get used to a lot of that over the next four or five months."'

The Cult of Sore Losers by Frank Bruni The New York Times

Bernie Sanders isn’t losing. Just ask many of his backers or listen to some of his own complaints. He’s being robbed, a victim of antiquated rules, voter suppression, shady arithmetic and a corrupt Democratic establishment. The swindle includes the South’s getting inordinate sway and the poor none at all. If Americans really had a voice, they would shout “Bernie! Bernie! Bernie!” until too hoarse to shout anymore.

Donald Trump isn’t winning. Just ask Ted Cruz, by whose strange and self-serving logic it is “the will of the people” (his actual words) that he and John Kasich collude to prevent Trump from amassing a majority of delegates so that some runner-up with less demonstrable support can leapfrog past him to become the Republican presidential nominee.

America's Income and Wealth Gap

Bernie Sanders Exaggerates Concentration of Wealth Income for Top 1 Percent Politifact

Although Bernie Sanders has publicly acknowledged that a 2015 analysis of income inequality dropped the estimate of the amount of wealth accumulated by the top 1% to 58% from 91%. I'm not arguing that 58% is reasonable, fair or just either. But this erroneous claim is a core lie in the Sanders campaign.

The Growing Wealth Gap Between Rich and Poor Students Who Earn A College Degree The Atlantic

Students who grew up in poor households represent an increasingly smaller portion of America's college graduates. A new report urges the United States to dedicate more resources and national focus to closing the college-completion gap between wealthier students and those from low-income backgrounds. Quite literally, the country's economic potential could hang in the balance.

America faces a dearth of college-educated workers that will be needed to fill the majority of the country’s new jobs—two-thirds of which will require some college background by 2020. Lower-income workers do not have the skills to fill those jobs, relying instead on jobs that leverage a high-school degree. Despite presidential candidate promises to restore well-paying jobs in manufacturing and the trades for American workers, reality suggests they are largely a relic of the nation’s industrial past. The basic math underscoring America’s future labor needs points to a national economy that holds no promise for the unskilled poor. Such a reality would exacerbate the already substantial social and economic strain in America.

Big Bernie Demands

Bernie Sanders Will Support Hillary Clinton But He's Sticking To Some Key Demands TIME

Hillary Clinton will sit down with the leaders of the Democratic party -- not Bernie Sanders -- to determine the Democratic platform. Bernie Sanders will not be dictating where Hillary must stand to get his support, because Hillary will not commit political suicide with a platform that may inspire Sanders supporters but guarantee massive losses for all Democrats.

Nancy Pelosi is already on the record saying "no middle class tax increases", putting her in fundamental opposition to Sanders. Remember that only if Bernie's ideas work, will costs come down. The most prominent economists have blown massive holes in his economic math. All the risk is on the front end to taxpayers. In fact when taxpayers learn what will happen to their taxes, they say "no way".

The new Harvard survey puts 60% of millennials willing to support Hillary with enthusiasm. And the candidate will work with them one-on-one in smaller groups to establish a solid rapport with millennials. HIllary is the kind of candidate who will assemble a commission of millennials to advise her.

Bernie thinks he's calling all the shots. But in reality, he's fully absorbed in his own power, and the media is complicit in encouraging him, as are his most devout supporters.

Hillary also holds a massive vice presidential candidate ace, and we see the possibilities as much different than most pundits. Hillary Clinton is much less focused on "do you like me". Hillary isn't looking for "yes" people, although someone like Bernie could never be her VP after all the damage he has done. He would be real Polonius lurking in her closet. Are there other progressives who can fill the bill? Yes -- and one in particular.

Hillary will decide in July -- and perhaps not until after the GOP convention -- how to shuffle her cards. Bernie will be important, but Sanders will not be running her show -- and he is ego-obsessed to think he will. It does make for great conflict journalism, especially with Bernie being so dedicated to hacking Hillary to bits, metaphoricallyspeaking. ~ Anne
