Confirming, once again, as if the past 40 years were insufficient evidence, that Lorne Michaels is a sycophantic asshole.

Interesting. When do we get to mock Larry David?

SNL is not great – but Larry David sure is.

Given the fact that Trump has threatened to send his goons to Sanders rallies, I don’t feel like laughing at this fucker or any other paid laugh-artist.

I thought it was pretty mild, actually. If this little bit of ribbing gets Bernie supporters’ britches into a knot, “Get a life” seems apropos.

Oh, it´s cute. But I would point out that they reference the Michigan win, where Sanders got about a third of the minority vote, and a majority of the 30 to 43 vote as well, so saying his voters are all white kids is kind of, umm, not so.

C’mon, people. Much sharper jokes have been sent to every other candidate on the comedy shows than Sanders up until this and Samantha Bee last week. You don’t have to find it funny (I won’t say I found a lot of the Clinton ones funny) but it’s not unusual.

Anyone butthurt about this needs to find a really good ass toughening salve. This is nothing compared to what will be coming from the media and the right if Bernie is our nominee.

Sanders got about half of the black kids, too. Don´t forget them

Typical self-congratulatory condescending snark. TFlick projects hurt feelings, and Lio, taking that as settled fact, tells ´em that they´d better toughen up. Maybe Chammy can show up and describe how all the Sanders supporters are trashing Elizabeth Warren, or maybe Plucky can say how Sanders will never get black folk.
Look, Lio: Trump has just threatened to send goons to Sanders rallies. Your warning about Sanders´ supporters tender feelings is pretty fuckin´ weak tea at this point.

You had better order the ass toughening salve by the barrel.

Yes, Lio. ´Cos I´m a political neophyte who´s never been through a tough election before. Thanks for the heads up!

Right on about Sanders’ supporters. They are so arrogant and “superior”. They are wonderful people as opposed to the crooks who are supporting Hillary. They have stooped to attacking Senator Elizabeth Warren because she won’t endorse him

My personal favorite is Hillary supporters who express “outrage” that Bernie supporters would suggest that Bernie’s support among African-Americans could improve as AA voters become more familiar with Bernie, his record, and his message…even though that is exactly what has happened so far:

I thought the best part of the bit was when he said he’s just like his supporters - he has all kinds of plans and no way to make them happen.
