Why clone the this.target object?

That line is causing issues for a project I'm working on, because we need this.target to retain its properties that it inherits through prototype, but they're being lost by that one line.

Is there a reason why you're cloning it?

Here's some pics of the problem:

But then over here, because of the clone that __proto__ information gets lost and this.target is no longer the same object.

Is there a reason why you decided to do that clone there?
