Bill Maher. If she can survive him impersonating Trump without throttling him in the replica debate stage, she's golden.

he understands how Trump manages the audience, and he can be every bit as sly & underhanded. The only prob em I see is that Bill might not be able to play as STUPID as the Trumpster. Bill is very knowledgeable about world affairs, the Trumpster talks like someone who's never been outside of Manhattan.

Not sure if he can do a good Trump impersonation, which is why I suggested Will Ferrell. Maybe Jim Carrey could do this too.

Alan Dershowitz will play Donald Trump ahead of the first debate, on September 26 at Hofstra University...

The Clinton campaign has been looking for surrogate to play Trump so she can practice and they are bringing in the well known criminal and constitutional law attorney Alan Dershowitz...

Hillary is more than capable of debating Trump. She's taken every dumpster full of crap that the GOP has thrown at her and she's still standing.

It doesn't matter what lies Trump pulls out of his ass and uses to attack her: "She murdered Vince Foster and others," "She got Americans murdered in Benghazi," "She eats babies," and so on. She knows how to throw it back in his face and make him look like the buffoon he is.

Trump is well-practiced in flinging bullshit. Hillary is well practiced in slamming bullshit out of the park.

His backers will cheer his every attack. Sane people will cheer Hillary's smacking him down.

Weiner is right choice to play Trump in debate prep w/ HRC. He's NYC braggart, has time and brains to study part and, v-impt, HRC hates him.


Not sure how Huma would feel, but I think Wiener would be a good damn choice.

Seriously. I cannot imagine anyone who would willingly subject themselves to the kind of pseudo-intellectual sewage that informs Trump's thinking. Sometimes imitation needs to be done from a safe distance...
