Hillary Clinton practiced dodging Trump’s hugs before debating him

What could have been.

Hillary Clinton got a flak for coming across as cold during her US presidential campaign last year, but if this video is anything to go by, she seems like a good laugh. Phillips Reines, a former campaign staffer of Hillary's, tweeted this clip of the politician during a debate practice session last year. In it, we see Hillary doing what any sane woman would do if she were approached by Donald Trump, a man known to do what he wants to women. Just watch.

Not easy to avoid the unwanted Trump hug, sometimes it even takes practice...

Reines was responding to the story that now-fired FBI director James Comey had attempted to dodge a hug from Trump when he first took office back in January, according to Jezebel. Hillary herself also took to Twitter to comment on the video, proving she's got a serious sense of humour.

I burst out laughing when I saw this video this morning. Hope it brightens your day. https://t.co/CEcdoaQUuC
