Besides, she would have given him the attention that he wanted if she had reacted to him. Better to deprive him of a reaction by ignoring him. I think that she handled him very well.

Televised. James sat behing Trump and did not glare at Trump. She simply looked at him. That is why he tried his intimidation bit. It did not work? A younger, fitter man could pull it off. An obese old man with a pitiful died combover just looked funny.

Trump is so full of rage he was having trouble breathing before he went into his tirade. They are giving him room to hang himself.

The long and short of it all is he stood next to, leaned over, and glared at AG James who laughed about it; it reminded many of the 2016 debate where he stood behind Clinton, similarly trying and failing to intimidate her.

You borrow money, get insurance or file tax returns, it's all thoroughly documented with signatures.
