What are you talking about? They skewered Clinton a ton in these skits. Do you notice Clinton and her supporters whining like babies about it?

With Trump, the US would be one tweet or comedy skit away from WWIII.

So now SNL is a media source. Expect one of many lawsuits after the elections to come the way of NBC and Lorne Michaels.

They mocked Clinton with the "Trumped-up trickle down" business and her wooden attempts at being personable and so forth.

But these bits weren't nearly as funny nor as dead on as Baldwin pursing his lips and saying Clinton's mouth looked like a butthole. I never see Trump's mouth now that I don't think of that.

Tina Fey did a great impression of Sarah Palin, but it was lighthearted and goofy. We were laughing with her.

Baldwin's impression is on the money, but it has a edge of mean-spiritedness to it. Like Trump himself.

What?? Political parody is as old as prostitution. SNL will dig on ANYONE, and Clinton didn't get away unscathed either.

If he can't handle political satire, he'd better get out before the heat really gets turned up.

Trump really is a thin skinned baby. Dumb Donald had no problem with hosting the show twice and mocking everyone else yet he insists a show that has been mocking politicians since the 70s is conspiring against him. You don't see Hillary whining, she even congratulated Kate McKinnon on her Emmy win.

Poor, poor pitiful Donny, could never make it through life without a team of shysters ready to sue at the drop of his wallet.
