During debate prep Hillary Clinton actually prepared for the unwanted Trump handshake or hug.

Courtesy of TPM: 

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.

    That was HILARIOUS! Showed a very playful side of Clinton, too. Wish she was POTUS. Sigh

    Always was pro Hillary and this just reinforces her humor and likeability. Too bad Trump was able to sway so many with his hate speech!! She would have been 100 times better in the White House than he - proven and factual!

      Well, almost three million more of us voted for Hillary than voted for the overweight nincompoop now residing in the White House.

      And 4.25 million of those 3 million were in California solely. Well shucks that more than covers the spread in only one state. Those Hollywood and Hamptons fundraisers with the millionaire class did sure get her a lot of money though. Hell the Clinton campaign raised and spent around twice what the Trump campaigns did, and she did win those dinner party states handily.

      Too bad she ignored the rust belt and blue collar America.

      Just yesterday Joe Biden was commenting on how she was not a very good candidate.

      No she didn't, you fucking damn fool. I live in rust belt blue collar America, and I had no problem figuring out from her speeches, interviews, platform, and decades long record that she would be much better for my part of the country than trump.

      I don't need a flashy visit or to be able to shake a politician's hand in person to think that somehow means any damn thing.

      Are you thick? He invited her to the wedding so he could have a former President and a current Senator on his guest list. Everything he does is for his ego.

  8. What a hoot! God, I wish Hillary had been elected. She's lucky Trump didn't pull her toward him for a smooch, like he did Comey. Yuck. The kiss of death.
