Ok--now I know.

2016
In the debate preparations for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election, Reines has been standing in for Donald Trump.[16] CBS commented that Reines is "known for his bullish, combative personality--traits that often mirror Trump’s personal debate style".[17] Following the first debate, Reines continued to work to hone his impression of Donald Trump in helping Hillary Clinton with her ongoing debate preparation.

....“The debate prep team is made up of people who are really comfortable with her and she's comfortable with them,” said Clinton’s 2008 campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle, who began her career as young member of Clinton’s Hillaryland posse in the East Wing in the 1990s.

“Everybody’s always saying Hillary needs to project her authentic self, but Philippe is one of the only ones who knows what that is, and knows how to get her to go along with that,” said a person who knows both. “He’s the one who urges her to abandon the caution, to go for it. And she’ll listen to him, and that’s because she trusts him.”
