For those who may have missed this last night. The SNL cold open featuring the Donald Trump Hillary Clinton debate.

Courtesy of The Daily Beast:  

At the top, Michael Che made a rare sketch appearance as moderator Lester Holt, who introduced a coughing Hillary Clinton and “the man to blame for the bottom half of all his kids’ faces,” Donald Trump. 

Baldwin got Trump’s podium-clutching and bizarre “China” pronunciations down perfectly. And while the real Trump waited until after the debate to complain about his microphone, he did so during the SNL debate. Beyond just interrupting Clinton with “wrong,” Baldwin’s Trump added “Shut up!,” admitted a make out session with Sean Hannity, and referred to Holt as both “jazzman” and “Coltrane.” 

Just like the real Trump, Baldwin described Clinton in a way that sounded oddly familiar. “I have the best judgment, and the best temperament,” he said. “She’s the one with the bad temperament. She’s always screaming. She’s constantly lying. Her hair is weird and her face is completely orange. Except around the eyes where it’s white. Once she stops talking her mouth looks like a tiny little butthole.” 

Instead of responding, Clinton yielded her two minutes back to Trump, who went on an unprovoked rant about “the blacks.” Asked by Holt what she thought about Trump’s comments at one moment, Clinton said, “I think I’m going to be president.” After another of his rants, she said she didn’t have a response, “more of a request: can America vote right now?”

I had a great time watching this last night, and absolutely LOVED Kate McKinnon's Willy Wonka inspired entrance. And seriously it seems Alec Baldwin was born to play Donald Trump, just like his former co-star Tina Fey was born to play Sarah Palin.

    Alec Baldwin was SCARY good at his Trump character. I mean STUNNING. He had him down to a T, and whoever did the makeup/hair is a genius! I bet Sarah isn't gonna be so happy with her new 'liberal pal' Alec now!

      I'm wondering if Baldwin has been doing Trump imitations in private for friends for a while. He had everything. The make-up just enhanced it all.

      I found his remark about poll watching, something to the effect "you know what to do or you know what I mean" very disturbing with all the gun nuts at the rally.

      Also I was reading PA has strange voter laws that anyone can challenge a voter and the voter has to prove with a witness that they are who they are and registered to vote.

    I'm really looking forward to the VP debates as well. It won't have the circus atmosphere that Trump brings with him, but I fully expect Tim Kaine to make Pence look as foolish and anti-women as Palin looked in 2008. Luckily for us, I think Pence will refrain from winking at the camera throughout the debate, though.

      tRump said no flat chested woman could be a 10. Seeing Maleria's nude photos before he came along, she was flat chested, with no shape. In fact from the neck down, she was built like my boys when they were 12 - 14 years old!! Straight up and down. He bought her false boobs, claimed she was a "supermodel" with two college degrees. ALL FAKE.

      Problem is we don't want Joe Miller, who is running as a Libertarian and Ray Metcalfe, our Dem nominee, is seen as a "way too out in left field".

      A different Libertarian candidate won the primary but she stepped down to allow Joe Miller to step in because he has better name recognition. Problem is he is anything BUT Libertarian.

      I personally doubt he can beat Lisa M and she truly is the lesser of two evils in this instance. We already have one Teabagger in DC, Dan Sullivan, we certainly don't need two!

      By the time this campaign is over, there won't be a Trump foundation or charity for Eric or Jr. to siphon money from. It won't be paying their inflated administration salaries either.

    Now… I would like to think of myself as somewhat of an expert on the abysmally small but psychotic mind of el Trumpo. And if there’s one thing I’ve noticed is that he can’t help but project his character flaws on others. He has a pattern of accusing people he hates of terrible things that later turn out to be true about him. So…. draw your own conclusions here…

    Eight years ago, it was Tina Fey and Amy Poehler who played Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton to great laughs. Sarah has never gotten over the gag line, "I can see Russia from my house." She kept protesting that she didn't say it exactly that way. (What, a narrow maritime border with Russia gave her foreign policy experience? That's better?)

    What's happened to Sarah Palin. Has anyone seen her around Wasilla or Alaska? And how about the newly weds who were so busy posting photos of their happy marriage and date night? Any news about them?

    I only wish they had an opportunity to bring Trump/Baldwin and Palin/Fey together for any reason whatsoever.

    Trump is a laughingstock and a punchline. He'll never be president. He'll never be respected. His "brand" is through. He's not only killed his business, but opened himself up to possible indictments for violations of several laws.
