Clinton preps for multiple Trumps
By Amie Parnes - 09/21/16 06:01 AM EDT
Hillary Clinton knows there are different sides to Donald Trump’s personality. She is preparing for all of them.
In closed-door sessions, the Democratic presidential nominee is prepping for their first presidential debate on Monday against a few different people playing the role of Trump. The role-playing games with different surrogates are “for his multiple personalities,” one Clinton confidant said of the controversial GOP nominee.
The Clinton campaign is playing coy about who is starring as Trump in the debate prep. One source said a few Clinton insiders are helping with different lines of questioning, but it is not clear if one individual is the main Trump, with others pitching in.
Some Clinton supporters have suggested Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-N.Y.) could play the role of the real estate magnate and reality TV star, but an inside source said there aren’t any members of Congress involved.
Clinton and her team are preparing for every possible punch, every possible slight and every possible pivot from their unpredictable opponent because, allies say, there’s no telling which Trump will emerge.
