Before any of them takes the debate stage on Tuesday and Wednesday, the 2020 Democratic candidates will already have put in dozens of hours each preparing. But here’s what they need to understand: Nothing they do to prepare for the primary debates will feel remotely similar to when the nominee faces Donald Trump in a debate.
My perspective on this is unique: I was assigned the role of playing Trump during Hillary Clinton’s general election debate prep in 2016. His stand-in. Her sparring partner. The ball machine. Over 17 years of working for her, I’ve argued with and annoyed Hillary plenty. But this time, I was supposed to. And without question, she did the debates right. They were her most successful three days between the high of accepting the nomination and the low of Election Day.
To prepare myself for her grueling debate prep, I watched the 15 Republican primary debates and forums in which Trump participated three times each: once the whole way through; a second time focusing entirely on the exchanges he was part of; a third time with the sound off to watch his mannerisms and body language. I might know his debating style—if you want to call it that—better than anyone on the planet (aside from Hillary Clinton, of course). These are the qualities that make Trump such a tough opponent in a debate, despite the fact that he is possibly the worst debater in presidential history. If Democrats are serious about nominating a candidate who can beat Trump, these are also the qualities that their nominee should be able to respond to—and how. What better time to start figuring that out than now?

If you don't want to read the article, it's that Trump's a poopoo head, so whoever debates him needs to call him a poopoo head a lot.
“(Watching the Republican debates, it seemed to me Jeb Bush’s height advantage unnerved Trump.)”
And that is why Mr Tippy-Toes won.
Oh.
Wait....
And therefore actually campaigning - pressing the flesh, she didn’t like that too much.
I could play Trump in debate and nobody in their right mind would want to face the real thing.
I would be way closer to the truth than this moron.
Lol, he prepped a great big LOSER, and he’s dishing out advice like he ought to be listened to.
Typical liberal.

“...Despite the relative tameness of the debate, Hill claimed Reines confronted him in the Fox bureau afterward “screaming like a maniac...”
The way he comes at things, the asymmetrical way he instaneously assesses your weakness and destroys you is uncanny.
He would totally lose a debate if he was on some debate team.
Debates have rules. Good luck with that. Hehe.
Sorry, faggy “Philippe,” but none of the 25 RATS on the democrat ship of fools have a prayer when it comes to beating President Trump. Dream on.
Everyone is a heckler to his performance. There is no debate when Donald is on stage.
Shitlery was a tale told by an idiot.signifying nothing.
“Unlike his candidate who came unglued every time she was knocked even slightly off script.”
That’s why we enjoyed Rubio. Nothing knocks him off script: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNRNHgi1RzU
Trump won because he was TRUMP.
He is advising the potential candidate not to be themselves but to be a fake Trump.
With Trump it is natural, with someone pretending they are something they are not is going to come trough.
The contrapositive is also true.
ML/NJ
So, the Democrats are so desperate they need advice from someone with obvious extremely poor judgement.
LOL! So successful, she lost the election. Rather than campaigning in Iowa or Michigan where she lost? Clearly the author is as delusional as Herself. She lost because outside of NY and LA, no one liked her.
I love the fact checks on Trump - democrats completely miss the point.
Trump: “Hillary is the ugliest woman in the world.”
Fact Check: “Our research has already identified four women who are even uglier, and we are optimistic on eventually finding a fifth exceptionally ugly woman.”

Clinton aide counters allegations he harassed New York Times reporter with threat of ‘tapes’

Philippe Reines, a former Hillary Clinton aide who was recently named as an alleged harasser of a female New York Times reporter who followed Clinton on the campaign trail, shot back with a warning that he has “tapes.”
In New York Times reporter Amy Chozick’s forthcoming memoir, “Chasing Hillary: Ten Years, Two Presidential Campaigns, and One Intact Glass Ceiling,” she opens up about being harassed by Clinton’s male aides, who she calls “the guys.”
In one anecdote, Chozick recalls one aide, who she refers to as “original guy,” responding to a tiff between the two with a line from “Thank You for Smoking.”
“’I didn’t know I had to say it was off the record when I was inside you,’” Original Guy said, according to Chozick’s memoir.
Chozick doesn’t name him in the book but references a New York Times story later on, which the Washington Post’s book review said reveals that “original guy” is “Philippe Reines.”
Reines countered the allegations, telling Jezebel he informed the outlet that he had “tapes.”
“Amy deserves credit for confessing. Because anyone who’s seen ‘Thank You for Smoking’ knows the problem isn’t Aaron Eckhart’s language or behavior, it’s Katie Holmes’s ethics and tactics. I said it then, I’d say it again today,” Reines said in a statement to Jezebel.
“Oh, one more thing: she and Caroline [sic] Ryan should know this about my own book I’m currently writing: there are tapes. And unlike some, I don’t bluff,” he added.
When Jezebel asked for clarification, Reines said the tapes “provide a unique window into how The New York Times approaches their Hillary Clinton coverage.”
Considering that DemocRATS “debate” by calling their opponents “racists” “nazis” etc, it should be pretty interesting.

Philippe Reines, a former senior adviser to Hillary Clinton, stripped down to his underwear and went on an "unhinged" rampage at Fox News on Tuesday night, abusing a Trump campaign advisor while "screaming like a maniac", according to shocked onlookers who captured cellphone footage of the disturbing incident.
Philippe Reines, a previous elderly consultant to Hillary Clinton, disrobed to his underclothing as well as took place an “unhitched” rampage at Fox Information on Tuesday evening, abusing a Trump project expert while “howling like a lunatic”, according to surprised observers that caught cellular phone video of the troubling case.
Harlan Hillside, a participant of the Trump 2020 board of advisers, signed up with Reines for an argument on Fox Company Network regarding boundary wall surface financing as well as the General Motors discharges.
Maybe as an outcome of being extensively beat in the dispute, Hillside declared the previous Hillary Clinton expert faced him in the Fox bureau later “howling like a lunatic” as well as ruining for a battle– after having actually eliminated his pants.
Harlan Z. Hill
Debated @HillaryClinton’s former senior advisor @PhilippeReines tonight...
1) Afterwards he came at me screaming like a maniac (I thought he was going cry)
2) He told me to “clean the pubic hair off my face.” Whatever that means?
3) Best part, he had no pants on 😂#Unhinged
Everyday Customer records:
Hillside informed The Daily Customer that Reines claimed, “You’re equally as much of a jackass on TELEVISION as you are on the internet” which Hillside requires to “quit concealing behind [FBN anchor Trish Regan’s] skirt.”
” We tweeted to and fro, as well as he claimed, ‘You’re not half the debater you believe you are.’ To which I claimed, ‘That’s most likely the lamest, most D.C. diss I have actually ever before listened to,'” Hillside informed TheDC.
Reines purportedly adhered to Hillside via the newsroom howling, as well as Hillside began breaking images of Reines’ pants-less match.
“ Yeah, I understand just how I look. Exactly how around you clean the pubic hair off your face?” Reines purportedly informed Hillside in reaction to his image being taken.
Reines obstructed a number of Daily Customer press reporters on Twitter after they retweeted Hillside’s account of the case. According to a confidential eyewitness, Reines did not put on trousers throughout a current look on Tucker Carlson’s Fox Information program either.
The Daily Customer was not able to get to Reines for remark.
