That's the thing, though, and a big part of the reason for Clinton's anger; Claire doesn't seem to respect that Clinton's issues with women are his problem to deal with, not hers. Yes, he wasn't dealing with it well, but it was still his business. Claire tries to intervene to "fix" things and it backfires. I can't blame Clinton for being pissed at Claire as a result, especially considering the way she just threw them together with no warning or even a 'by your leave'.
Besides, it wasn't like Clinton went into a screaming tirade calling Claire all kinds of female-specific insults then hitting her. He mostly told her exactly what he thought of her meddling in his romantic affairs (such as they were), and then told her to butt out unless asked. Rather reasonable, all things considered.
I'd say he hopefully learned a valuable lesson about hesitation and procrastination; but I'm pretty sure he already suspected he'd blown his chance with Emily by waiting too long. Claire's actions forced Emily to confirm his suspicion (part of the reason he's pissed at Claire, for putting Emily on the spot as well as him - she owes Emily an apology for this IMO).

Clinton's problem is Claire and her incessant need to enforce her will on others. No matter how well meaning, she was manipulative and controlling. That shit does not fly. It is shitty behavior regardless of intent. She deserved to be called out in it.

Matchmaking without the consent (or even knowledge) of the people involved = big red flag for boundary issues.
Zebediah:
The whole Augustus clan seems to have trouble with appropriate boundaries.

Just wondering; would Clinton have been this mad if Emily had said agreed on a next date?
