“Here’s a woman,” Donald Trump said at a rally in Manheim, Pennsylvania, on Saturday night, midway through a fit he was having about the character of Hillary Clinton. “She’s supposed to fight all these different things, and she can’t make it fifteen feet to her car! Give me a break.” Trump was referring to Clinton’s collapse on September 11th, when she was diagnosed with pneumonia, and ignoring the vigorous performance she had delivered in their debate last week; she had won, and since then he had done pretty much everything wrong. But a bully picks the material he likes, and so Trump lolled his tongue, fluttered his arms, and wiggled his shoulders in what looked like a poorly executed caricature of the subtle shimmy Clinton executed in their debate. Then he turned and took a few drooping steps before miming a stumble. Donald Trump, slouching toward Pennsylvania’s twenty electoral votes, was ready to go low.
