Who is Philippe Reines, stand-in for Trump in Harris debate prep
The Hill ^ | 09/09/2024 | Elizabeth Crisp

Philippe Reines, the longtime aide to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, is reprising his role as former President Trump while Vice President Harris prepares to spar with her Republican rival on the debate stage Tuesday.

Reines, a 54-year-old New York City native, previously played Trump as Clinton prepared to face him in the 2016 debate cycle.

A Columbia University grad and political consultant, Reines spent nearly two decades at Clinton’s side and has been a loyal confidant of the former Democratic presidential candidate.

In the years since Clinton lost to Trump, he’s occasionally reflected on the process of channeling Trump’s larger-than-life persona.

Who is Philippe Reines?

On Wednesday, Reines posted on Twitter, “@DonaldJTrumpJr — Vanessa being with a Latin King must’ve driven you insanely jealous. The machismo, the passion. Tough act to follow. Did you wonder if she fantasized about Valentin Rivera when intimate with you?” He creepily concluded, “She did. Every time.”

Prep don’t matter when you got no real world back up. As long as PDJT sticks with her flip flopping “which is it” line with actual back up.......plz Donald. No comments about kneepads etc......

All of that debate prep puts the mind in a cage.
The opponent simply has to seize an opportunity to rattle that cage.

Trump doesn’t need to prep because he knows who he is and what he believes
about every policy he intends to implement.
He also has been out there talking about it, almost daily, for nine years.

When you go back into the archives and listen to what he was saying in the 1980s
it’s clear he has been thinking about it a lot longer.

Trump just needs to stick to the script and not take the bait she will certainly toss out there. All the issues are in his favor. Don’t turn it into a cat fight.

Trump also prepares by using stand-ins for Kamala.

I have seen him occasionally on TV. Philippe Reines is very abrasive, IMO.

Trump will do alright as long as he doesn’t think he’s going to contend with giggling school-girl.

She didn’t do debate prep for nothing!

It’s been fourteen years but when she debated Republican Steve Cooley for State Attorney General of California, she appeared to hold her own.

THIS.

Crime, border invasion, inflation. Over and over again.

No matter what she says ... go back to crime, border invasion and inflation.

Which is why the “moderators” won’t bring up any of those topics.

Sources close to Republican presidential candidate Donald J. Trump report that the former president is preparing for his upcoming debate with Kamala Harris as realistically as possible: by going to wine bars and arguing with drunk people.

BWAHAHAHAHahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

Yeah, I know the source.

But it would be awesome if it were true.

He’s frequently on Fox especially in the daytime, not on the opinion shows. He’s an insufferable prick.

And she will respond that violent crime is now at a 50 year low, inflation has dripped to the 3% range, and the number of border crossings has dropped in the last 6 months. She’ll attribute all of those to her own work with Biden.
