by pushing 400 pounds into their personal space, but he's reasonably heavy guy and could certainly try combining some physical intimidation with verbal abuse. I think he'd be good at it once he got a little practice. A lot of people LIKED to watch Christie bully their fellow citizens, and Trump would probably get a gratifying response from his rally crowds, if not the ones at the debates.

could certainly insult them from a distance, if he felt disrespected.

trumpster fire or two by going too far while insulting Hillary, though. After all, he tried his handlers' careful restraint thing the first time and look what it got him.
