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."

Gilbert Gottfried?
Get one of the losers from SNL.
I volunteer. Pick me! Pick me!
True..she will already have the questions given to her a week in advance..same with Obama, he was given the questions by Candy Crowley before the debate so he knew what to say..and when he didnt he just cried to Mama Crowley and she helped him out
I think he will take charge in the debates, and that’s what has the maggot infested pantsuit worried. I think the new blood managing the Trump campaign will see to it.
“They could bring in Al Bundy to hit her with a lot of fat woman lines.”
This one made me laugh out loud.
Why would the smartest woman in the world need to prep for anything?
The question is whether Hillary let the stand-in live after insulting her for an hour. Maybe that’s why she can’t find one.
No one wants to spend a whole weekend in the same room as that shrill harpy listening to her lie to them over and over.
whose that insult comedian dog? He’s really funny. Can’t remember his name.
Reckless and hateful. Sounds like Hillary.
I think that the younger one would be a bit more feisty,...
And the old gent....maybe needs a cane and teleprompter.
Al Franken comes to mind. Tho no one is as quick on his feet as Trump ... I honestly just cannot wait till the debates.
Then it’s not fair...they’ll have to cancel.
It's gonna be brutal, sort of like this but without the hitting.
Whicheverperceived person is used for the Trump stand-in will not resemble the Trump encountered at the debate.
SNL comedians would be fine.
For some reason the ‘Oops, I Crapped My Pants’ skit comes to mind!
The hillary campaign can’t find hillary.
Triumph, the insult comic dog.
I can’t believe her medics are going to risk her on a debate stage three times.
Pretty much any leading democrat politician, including Hillary, meets that criteria - especially the part about hateful and divisive instincts.
What's wrong with Harry Reid or Nanna Piglosi?
Why not give them a try?
