it's telling when comedians and actors are being used as sparring partners instead of knowledgeable political experts that were used in past elections - that's because Trump is a cartoon caricature and not knowledgeable on what's important (policy details).
Yep - prepping by having people who are good at mimicing trump's style and would likely say the sorts of things trump will say seems a very good idea. For a person who understands that she will definitely be attacked repeatedly by trumpisms, she is practicing how to respond and stay unaffected by them. Knowing the opposition, and understanding their tactics - seems like a good thing to have in a presidential candidate.
The story also mentioned that trump may be "secretly" preparing in earnest for the debates. That would be like he has prepared for running for president, running a campaign, building a wall.... poorly, and ineffectively. Mkae no mistake, he's relying on zingers.

You bring up a good point. This, I can get behind.
I predict she falls asleep at the podium. The moderators try to wake her up but no luck. She forfeits the first debate. Hey, don' laugh. She practically slipped into a coma sitting behind Biden in Scranton a few weeks a go. Not sure if it was medication or the boring Biden speech.
She will be so medicated that the duration of the debate and the timing of the questions will be critical for Hillary.
If anything at all goes wrong on stage, she will disolve like the Wicked Witch.

Wow..she is preparing for Trump? Whassamatter? 40 years of so called "experience" hasn't prepared her to face off against a businessman? How pathetic. God forbid this sickly old woman gets into office and is faced with a crisis, what the hell is she going to do? Rely on how to overcome zingers?
I read that the Trump team is still 'negotiating' with the debate sponsors. I imagine that Mr. Trump will be demanding to know beforehand:
1. The questions that will be asked at said debates.
2. The answers that Ms. Clinton will give to said questions.
3. The responses that Mr. Trump will make to Ms. Clinton's responses.
You caught it too! "Rehearsing". I doubt though that she is capable of handling much rehearsing. I am sure they are trying to make it as easy as they can for her, but still, unless they get a script of the questions, it is going to be challenging for her. I wonder if they have gotten her meds tweaked to the point she isn't inappropriately laughing and head-bobbing - you can't rehearse that away.
I think she'll have the ear piece, use the coughing to let them know they need to repeat or clarify, and only God knows, how she will stand without support for long. You can see her tilt her head as she listens to whoever is behind the scene.
Trump will do awesome. He has been in front of thousands of people talking about his policies and what is happening in the world and talking to the people, all of them not just elite groups, not tucked away from the public like a special snowflake.
Was thinking "Hillary and facts"? Ah, that is hilarious! Hillary is all "lies and deflection" and to expect anything other than that from Hillary or her supporters is going to leave one very disappointed!
I think it is absolutely SEXIST - probably racist & KKK also ..... if they don't set up teleprompters for her to use to answer the questions. It's just RUDE to force her to 'rehearse' and memorize all those answers.
Mrs Clinton will be so rehearsed that she's liable to have one of her buggy-eyed electric shock moments if Trump says something out of left field. For Trump, on the other hand, left field is almost an expectation.
In her zeal to come across like the normal sober one on the stage, she's got to avoid her own Marco Rubio New Hampshire automaton moment. Trump, on the other hand, has to emphasize that she's been around the block so many times, she owns the block. He has to address the audience/TV camera, not the narrator and quote all of those bad statistics and paint her as the old dog (meant figuratively) doing the same things and getting the same results. "Try something new. What the bleep do you have to lose?" would have been great if it came out during the debate.
Based on her saying she'll let her husband handle the economy, I'm guessing that will be the issue on which she will be the most over-rehearsed.
Jon Stewart or Alec Baldwin are supposed to be the debate prep opponents for Clinton. Fallon does a good job. Wonder if he's interested......
Al Franken would be my choice.

Debate prep: Hillary loads up on facts, Trump loads up on zingers
