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."

Is Don Rickles still alive?
Triumph the Insult Dog is available, I understand. And already working on the team for Herself.
There can be only one!
Trump2016
Get Howard Stern or Andrew Dice Clay.
adding that he and the rest of the Democratic presidential hopeful’s team are “looking forward to the debates.”
Translation: They are terrified!
This is such bullshit. It is just designed to give the Monday morning shows something to talk about other than Donald’s surge and Kellyanne’s good work on the Sunday shows.
I am not a morning TV news watcher, but if you are, let me know if I am right that this story dominates.
LOL. She’s going to have the questions in advance anyway, so what is the problem?
Imagine how much trouble the Trump campaign must be having finding an evil and greedy old lady who barks, farts, coughs, short circuits and makes frequent visits to the All Gender toilets all the time. It has to be hell.
Why is Mook letting the public know about certain difficulties Ms. Rod-Ham is having? Could it be that Mook wants the Trump people to become overconfident and not arrive fully prepared to debate? Mook does a lot of public handwringing. He is his own worst troll at various times. I can’t believe he does this w/o Hillary approving of it.
Well it could be fun coming up with good stand ins for Hillary.
Hire Sam Kinneson - oops. Not available. Wait, Bob - what was his name? Very caustic - was in Police Academy.
They’d say so much truth to her face she’d probably have them Arkancided.
Don Rickles is still alive - 90 yrs. old.
Dice is only good a canned material. Stern would eat her alive..oh wait
They will probably settle for Mark Cuban. Have you noticed that M. Cuban has been mouthing off anti-Trump quite a bit lately? Nasty, snippy little quips. It’s as though he wants to pick a Twitter War with The Donald as a way to elevate himself.
Don Rickles is still alive and as caustic as ever...hire him!
Kellyanne is doing a great job so far!
A pure bullshit story from the Clinton Campaign for the sole purpose of pushing this meme: “”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.”
That would be too f’ing bad for Hillarys campaign, now wouldn’t it?
Too bad they can’t get Sam Kinneson ...
