Hillary Clinton's campaign is having trouble finding an individual who can effectively mimic her Republican opponent as she prepares for the upcoming presidential debates, according to Campaign Manager Robby Mook.
"It's very hard to find someone to mimic the reckless temperament and the hateful instincts and divisive instincts of Donald Trump," Mook told CNN's Dana Bash on Sunday.
"Preparing for a debate with him is a challenging task, but Secretary Clinton is looking forward to the debate," Mook added. He suggested the debates will give Americans an opportunity to see how Clinton's "steady leadership" compares with Trump's "very reckless temperament."
In the months leading up to the debates, each presidential campaign traditionally hires an experienced politician to play their candidate's opponent so he or she can better prepare for the arguments and attacks they will likely face on the real debate stage. Ohio Sen. Rob Portman was the "sparring partner" for both Mitt Romney and John McCain in 2008 and 2012, standing in for senator and then President Obama.

While the Clinton campaign continues its search for the perfect person to play Trump, Mook said he's confident the right individual will come along.
"We'll get it done," he said, adding that he and the rest of the Democratic presidential hopeful's team are "looking forward to the debates."

“”Preparing for a debate with him is a challenging task....”
No kidding! It’s hard to find honest, truthful, pro-Americans today, expecially in politics. Particularly in the RAT Party.

Can you put Hillary’s face on “The Cat Lady” in this ami-gif?

Same for Chris Farley.
But...I hear he’s still alive.
In a van, under a bridge, down at the river.
OK. Many are saying that Hillary won’t agree to a series of debates.
Trump should pay for some Don Rickles, Foster Brooks and Irwin Corey film and debate them as surrogate Hillary stand-ins.
Angry Orange.
Had no idea but should have guessed!
Not sure I would agree that “she is an excellent debater” but she is willing to pay all the money in the world for advice and desperate enough to listen to advice she pays for. So Trump, listen up!!! You are going to have to perform at the top of you r skill level!!
There has been a lot of hand-wringing lately from Mr. Mook, but I agree, he is overplaying it. Hillary, while not the sharpest knife in the drawer, has some very clever handlers. Trump has to be on top of his game.
SNL comedians don't have a lot of experience attacking progressives. Trump won't pull his punches like they would.

For a piece of the action.
People have already forgotten that Trump survived over a dozen debates during the primaries, including a debate where other candidates were working together to knock him out, and Meghan Kelly plotting to knock him out as well.
I’ll do it .....
Perfect!!!!!!
You're right. I should have said "politician-debater." Standards are far different. She certainly can't form a logical and objectively persuasive case. But she can string together Democrat talking points - which are all focus grouped and poll tested over years - and can appear to run rings around a truth-teller. I think Trump will get dinged. But he thinks well on his feet, and will be able to score some points on her as well.
My only concern is that he not underrate her. She is a CONGENITAL liar - and dissembles without shame.
She’s having trouble finding honorable people that tell the truth and don’t hide behind identity politics.
Honesty is a hard thing to find in the Democratic Party.
