Hillary Clinton launched into a “f***-laced fusillade” during a practice session for her televised debate with Donald Trump in the run-up to the 2016 election, according to a journalist who followed her 2016 presidential bid.
In her new book, Chasing Hillary, New York Times journalist Amy Chozick, who covered Clinton’s political career for a decade, sheds light on the inner workings of a campaign which ended in shocking defeat.
In one passage, she describes a practice debate in which Clinton reportedly cried “You want authentic, here it is!”, followed by “a f***-laced fusillade about what a ‘disgusting’ human being Trump was and how he didn’t deserve to even be in the arena”.
Trump was played in the mock debates by longtime Clinton aide Philippe Reines, the New York Times reported at the time. Reines was chosen for the part due to his familiarity with Clinton’s “personal and political vulnerabilities”, enabling him to “throw any number of embarrassing comments in her face” as he imitated her outspoken Republican rival.
Chozick’s memoir of ten years on the campaign trail also offers other insights into Clinton’s struggle to deal with Trump’s unorthodox approach. His bombastic style and disdain for policy detail threw Clinton off-message, she writes: “Trump had made her as devoid of substance as he was.”

She is nasty.
She is rotten.
She is easily forgotten.
Another day, another glimpse into HRC’s madness.
A video of that would be pure comedy gold!
The Trumps sadly found out that nearly all of their friends were fair weather.
Doesn’t she claim to be a devout Methodist? She sure has a filthy mouth.
“Trump had made her as devoid of substance as she was.”
It’s not possible to peacefully coexist with these people. They make that more and more clear with each passing day.

” Clinton reportedly cried “
There is no doubt about that. It was supposed to be her coronation and she ended up being beat by a reality TV star with no political experience.
Still running.
Because no American politican has been bombastic especially as a means of drawing support. *rolls eyes*.
'Disdain for policy detail' is media code for 'dumb.' Yes, the dumb candidate upset the smart one if you believe the narrative.
But they never get round to explaining Hillary's brilliance despite a plethora of dumb acts and statements.
Hillary's stock response to any perfectly reasonable request for her plans or policies was 'We've got a policy paper on my web site.' In other words, she had no idea and didn't care to have an idea and even if she did have an idea it would be undiluted Marxism.
PS - did the wonderboy Obama ever mention ANY policy detail during a campaign or in office? He was the poster boy for anodyne platitudes and generalities.
He really (really) got into her head. Heh, heh.
Greatest job in the history of the world! Getting paid to think of things to say to Hillary’s face that will enrage her and make her snap and lose her mind. When you make her scream and curse and tirade, you’re winning and earning your paycheck.
Hire me Hillary! I would be so good at this! There’s work to be done! It’s still your turn!
Funny. Before he ran, I never paid much attention to Trump, even though I met him once. Je seemed like a nice, decent person. Since he started his campaign, all I’ve heard, even from his supporters, is that he is coarse, crude, boisterous and bombastic...
I have not seen that. He may not be the most eloquent speaker, not having had half a lifetime of coaching, but obama was terrible even after coaching.
Hillary, on the other hand, has a long long history of foul-mouthed tirades which involve violence and threats.
But TRUMP is the crude one???

PROJECTION
Yeah, I picked that up too. Was thinking of buying the book until I read that.
