A favorite moment from debate prep (9/24/16): http://pic.twitter.com/JAAHaqKFoa
Longtime Hillary Clinton aide Philippe Reines on Friday shared a video of himself almost violently hugging his boss, showing how Clinton’s campaign had prepared the then-presidential candidate for Donald Trump’s notoriously forceful handshakes.
Reines, who stood in for Trump in the Clinton campaign’s debate prep sessions, seemingly shared the video of prep for what he dubbed “the unwanted Trump hug” in response to a story from Benjamin Wittes, the editor of the blog Lawfare and a self-described “friend” of ousted FBI Director James Comey.
You know after seeing this. and witnessing Hillary clowning around with staff, I almost wish that it had been leaked before the election to show that she wasn't as ice cold and uptight as she was often portrayed by the press.
In fact she also enjoyed seeing herself in this light.
Oh what might have been.I burst out laughing when I saw this video this morning. Hope it brightens your day. https://t.co/CEcdoaQUuC
