Hillary Clinton Acts out a Mock Debate with Donald Trump
Clinton said she looks forward to debating the Donald.
BOWLING GREEN, Kentucky -- Hillary Clinton appeared to get pleasure in going after Donald Trump on Monday as she mocked her likely future opponent for his debating skills while campaigning in Kentucky.
"Let’s just imagine I’m on a debate stage with Donald Trump,” the Democratic presidential candidate told a crowd of 400 in Bowling Green. "Now, personally, I am really looking forward to it,” she added.
Clinton then proceeded to re-enact how she imagines her debate with the reality TV start turned Republican presidential candidate would go down.
“So, let’s suppose here’s the question: So what is your plan to create jobs?” she began.
"His answer is, 'I’m going to create them, they’re going to be great, I know how to do it, but I’m not telling you what it is I’m going to do,'” she quipped, putting on a manly voice as she pretended to be Trump.
She contrasted that her approach, framing her potential debate response, “Here’s what we’re going to do; here’s where I’m going to change the tax code; here’s where we’re going to incentivize people to do it.’”
“Now,” Clinton explained, as she continued to describe her fake scenario, “Some people might say, ‘Oh, you know, all anybody wants to hear is just, I’m going to do it, but I’m not telling you what I’m going to do.’
“See, I don’t believe that,” she continued. “Maybe in the preliminaries, like the Republican primary, that’s all they wanted to hear. But Americans take their vote for President seriously. And they’re going to be looking at that TV screen and saying, ‘He still doesn’t have anything to tell us? Wait a minute.’”
This is not the first time Clinton has impersonated Donald Trump. While campaigning in Iowa last year, the former Secretary of State mocked Trump for promising big results without explaining the policies he would use to achieve them.
"I have to say, I kind of wish I had this same sort of mentality," she said, laughing into another impression of Trump. “'Oh, listen, I don’t need to tell you anything. When I get there, peace will be breaking out everywhere, prosperity will be raining down upon you, we will have the new age.’”
"Well, I would like to do that,” Clinton explained, "But I don’t think that is how a great democracy makes its decisions about who will lead us.”
