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."

How about Barney Frank? :-)
When SNL starts its new Season in September, it will be nonstop Trump Bashing for nearly two Months until the Election.
All the Late Night Hosts have already got their Marching Orders and are serving Clinton well.
Why would it be a risk?
First off, it will be Hillary and the moderator vs Trump.
Second she’ll be coached via an earpiece and a halftime break like she got vs Burney.
There will be a full medical staff and equipment seconds away.
Pay me money to tell her what I think of her and why she should not be elected for anything whatsoever, from dog catcher up.
Talk about dream jobs, even though temporary.
Nasty and unstable - how ‘bout Snakehead Carvile.....
I suggest she Hire Donald Trump for it. He might find the time.
As long as he charges her at least $250,000.
When his act was over, he turned into a sweet, gentle man...just like my dad.
Must be oldies but goodies night. ;-)
He's got the guts to stand up to Hillary! And he's been studying up on Mexican immigration.
And he has much in common with Carlos Danger...
Dallas radio station said that she was using Mark Cuban.
Use bernie or the fake squaw. We all need a laugh in times like these.
Ì’d do it for free.

Boy, talk about nailed it. That guy's dangerously crazy. Good job.
Her pants suit is probably really full of “something else”.
-—Alan Grayson-—
Yup...he would be a good stand in for Trump...
He’s everything the Clinton campaign “thinks” Trump is like...
An ass clown and obnoxious mental case...
Except Grayson actually is one...
Well, boohoo for the Cryptkeeper. Maybe she should confine herself to defending bill against endless rape charges. Should keep her busy enough.
Get one of her favorite “transgenders.”
I agree . . . Jebster . . . he’s as much a friend of all that stinks with the Republican Party and will probably vote for her anyway.
