The Saturday Night Live Skit that Made Donald Trump Cry
Yesterday, Donald Trump tweeted the following whiny complaint about the previous night’s Saturday Night Live skit:
Watched Saturday Night Live hit job on me.Time to retire the boring and unfunny show. Alec Baldwin portrayal stinks. Media rigging election!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 16, 2016
Boo-hoo.
I know when I saw that, I wanted to see that skit. It’s good — but the fact that it made Donald Trump cry like a bitch made it that much sweeter. Watch it below:

I wish Hillary were that cool. They gave her a pretty and young actress and gave Trump Alec Baldwin, a barely concealed nut portraying a barely concealed nut.

Patterico (3dace1) — 10/17/2016 @ 12:27 pmBy the way I think some of Trump’s financial arrangements — especially with respect to his charity — may prove to be criminal, and are clearly immoral at a minimum.
So in my opinion we have two criminals, though neither has been proven as such in court.
Patterico (3dace1) — 10/17/2016 @ 12:29 pmMr happyfeet, you must be doing something right because you make all of illary’s secret supporters very angry. Some of them are even forced to take extra fiber!

Cruz Supporter (102c9a) — 10/17/2016 @ 12:30 pmTrump is toast and there’s nothing I or any of you can do to change that. I suggest you treat him as the lost cause that he is, and start worrying about the down ballot. To slow her down, we’ll need Republicans in Congress.
Don’t kill the messenger.
You want to vote for him, go nuts. It won’t change a thing. I’m afraid this die is almost certainly already cast.
Patterico (3dace1) — 10/17/2016 @ 12:36 pmThe nice part of hating both these people is that, while part of me will be sad no matter who wins, another part will be happy no matter who wins, because at least we didn’t get x.
I’ll be there to jeer and hoot at whoever loses, and I’ll raise a glass to toast their defeat.
At this point that’s looking like Trump.
Patterico (3dace1) — 10/17/2016 @ 12:39 pmThe holier-than-thou crowd sits around and trashes Trump, yet many of them vowed to never vote for someone like Marco Rubio if he became the nominee.
If anyone disagrees, let’s go back and examine the threads in January and February.
Rubio is the most telegenic, most articulate, and probably most knowledgeable candidate we had. Sure there was the ‘Gang of 8.’
But how does the ‘Gang of 8’ pale in comparison to all of the baggage that comes with Trump?
Elections are not about being perfect a little sweet Goldwater Boy on paper.
Rather, elections are about general election electability among Democrats, indepedents, and low information voters. Many Americans who aren’t especially knowledgeable or ideological will vote for the more likable candidate.
If you fail to win the election, you don’t get to apply your passionate holier-than-thou ideals. It really is that simple.
Raise your hand if you think illary is more likable than Marco Rubio.

happyfeet (a037ad) — 10/17/2016 @ 12:45 pmGoing out on a limb guessing that Patterico does not seem to care much for this Donald Trump character.
According to the logic presented above, and elsewhere in these comment sections, the choice is a binary one between two crummy options.
So far, so bad. Patterico is probably not springing for Trump. Thus, he is choosing Hillary.
Does that mean Hillary is merely the “deplorable” one here, and Trump the criminal? Or was the writer’s intent switched around in the wording?
JP (f1742c) — 10/17/2016 @ 1:00 pmTrump’s not helping himself much, but has there EVER been a more concerted attack, more collusion by the MSM, more vilification of any other candidate in the history of presidential elections?
I’ve said it before, but I would vote for this particular guy just as a means of protesting this whole GD’d, ginned up episode and mashing right back in their faces ala Jimmy Cagney’s grapefruit. Eff all of them and the Shetland ponies they rode in on.

Tony (ff2fe4) — 10/17/2016 @ 1:16 pmmore vilification of any other candidate in the history of presidential elections?
Yes. Go back and read how newspapers and gazettes mixed it up in the 19th century. The important difference being there was no MSM, every news outlet was openly biased, but all sides had their mouthpieces. Neutrality and impartiality in news was a 20th century innovation.
But if you want to see a true mudslinging event, try the 1828 affair in which Jackson was firdt elected. Jackson blamed his wife’s death on the vilification she was subjected to by Adams supporters. (Rachel was unhappily married, separated from her husband and courted by AJ. She she recieved apparently credible report that her husband had divorced her, so she and AJ married. Her first husband lived in Kentucky, while Rachel and AJ were in Tennessee. Then they found out she was not actually divorced. Husband #1 had only gotten legal power to divorce (which then required an act of the legislature to begin proceedings), then purposely misled her. He now proceeded to actually divorce her for adultery, as evidenced by her relationship with AJ. When Rachel and AJ finally learned of this, they underwent a second ceremony. This happened a couple of decades prior to the election, but was used to the hilt against Jackson in 1828.
And very few elections got as personal as Cleveland v Blaine. “James G Blaine the continental liar from the state of Maine” vs “Ma ma where’s my pa?”
And it started almost at the beginning of our country. Adams v Jefferson was a lively mudfest. That was the election when Jefferson’s relationship to Sally Hemings was first talked about.

“My guess is that single never married women and divorced women are big left wing constituencies.”
Mike K,
That’s been true for a while. The demographic splits in today’s GWU Battleground poll (beginning on page 113)point to a strong shift among white women with college degrees in comparison with 2012 exit polling. Clinton is also winning among white women without degrees but the disparity wrt previous elections is much less.

Huge difference. Plus the voters (all men, of course,) were far more lucid and paid attention. Can anyone imagine a Lincoln Douglas debate this year?
There were seven debates !
The debates in Freeport, Quincy and Alton drew especially large numbers of people from neighboring states, as the issue of slavery was of monumental importance to citizens across the nation.[1][2] Newspaper coverage of the debates was intense. Major papers from Chicago sent stenographers to create complete texts of each debate, which newspapers across the United States reprinted in full, with some partisan edits. Newspapers that supported Douglas edited his speeches to remove any errors made by the stenographers and to correct grammatical errors, while they left Lincoln’s speeches in the rough form in which they had been transcribed. In the same way, pro-Lincoln papers edited Lincoln’s speeches, but left the Douglas texts as reported.
After losing the election for Senator in Illinois, Lincoln edited the texts of all the debates and had them published in a book.[3] The widespread coverage of the original debates and the subsequent popularity of the book led eventually to Lincoln’s nomination for President of the United States by the 1860 Republican National Convention in Chicago.
The format for each debate was: one candidate spoke for 60 minutes, then the other candidate spoke for 90 minutes, and then the first candidate was allowed a 30-minute “rejoinder.” The candidates alternated speaking first. As the incumbent, Douglas spoke first in four of the debates.
What we have lost and why. Radio listeners thought Nixon won the 1960 debate with Kennedy. After TV we were on a downhill slide.

Trump’s defeat would translate into continued political subversion of once disinterested federal agencies, from the FBI and Justice Department to the IRS and the EPA. It would ensure a liberal Supreme Court for the next 20 years — or more. Republicans would be lucky to hold the Senate. Obama’s unconstitutional executive overreach would be the model for Hillary’s second wave of pen-and-phone executive orders. If, in Obama fashion, the debt doubled again in eight years, we would be in hock $40 trillion after paying for Hillary’s even more grandiose entitlements of free college tuition, student-loan debt relief, and open borders. She has already talked of upping income and estate taxes on those far less wealthy than the Clintons and of putting coal miners out of work (“We are going to put a whole lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business”) while promising more Solyndra-like ventures in failed crony capitalism.”
The normalization of a politicized federal bureaucracy would be the most lasting — and damaging — legacy of nearly two decades of Obama-Clinton administration.

Sean (41ed1e) — 10/17/2016 @ 4:00 pmThe reason he’s failed is that he relied on the media as his only advantage over the conservative candidates, and this advantage was an illusion and a trick. That was handing the election to Hillary, and while this was only a good prediction six months ago it’s now very obvious and it’s worse than impotent to complain about it now. Trump was the weakest candidate the GOP has ever nominated. He is morally weak, his resume is weak on success and heavy on failure, he is strategically weak by being a coward about self oppo research.
It’s clear the Hillary campaign masterfully had a strategy, timing the use of Trump’s scandals, Trump’s denials, Trump’s many victims coming forward into Republicans smearing them (and looking like idiotic hypocrites after a year of defending Clinton’s accusers), and now the humor part, where the democrats cement the fact they already won and start building momentum for the downticket stuff.
Where was Trump’s plan to win? He’s tried to win like a democrat with vague memes that the media just ignores. It wasn’t a strategy that works for a Republican.
Trump fans have to resort to pointing at a lot of honest folks who always disliked Hillary, and calling them secret Hillary fans, and in feverish defense of someone who is actually a Hillary donor. Trump fans have been twisting like this on every issue for months, the truth of things irrelevant to them. So it’s no surprise that they still act like there’s a reason to make a case for a lost cause.

FWIW, industry chatter says Baldwin was suggested to Michaels by Tina Fey. Problem is, ‘Alec the Smart Aleck’ personal animosity oozes through the make-up far too easily. So funny melts into mean PDQ. ‘Impression’ is a weak substitute for ‘parody,’ too– something SNL was once very good at. That’s a writing flaw. When the producer has to keep going outside the hired players to cast a recurring character, it signal a weakness beyond the writer’s room, too. And laziness.
Recall SNL was pushing Maudie in ’08 as well until ‘black is the new b-tch’ skit.

Kevin M (25bbee) — 10/17/2016 @ 4:16 pmShe continues to underwhelm, narciso…
Colonel Haiku (7967f2) — 10/17/2016 @ 4:17 pmBaldwin’s impression of Trump is excellent! People will be talking about it for a long time. Unlike most SNL material, it’s funny!
Dustin (ba94b2) — 10/17/2016 @ 4:19 pmSome continue to highlight that opinions are like elbows, while there are others who insist on just being their normal a*hole selves.
Colonel Haiku (7967f2) — 10/17/2016 @ 4:21 pmThe normalization of a politicized federal bureaucracy would be the most lasting — and damaging — legacy of nearly two decades of Obama-Clinton administration.
What I expect is a thoroughly corrupt apparatus — a federal Tammany Hall — holding power for decades through complete control of a five-trillion-dollar money hose and the power to jail.
Kevin M (25bbee) — 10/17/2016 @ 4:21 pmso apparently general cartwright, who was the scapegoat for the stuixtnet leak, still gets it coming and going,
narciso (d1f714) — 10/17/2016 @ 4:21 pm“Masterful”… wow, that’s rich.
Colonel Haiku (7967f2) — 10/17/2016 @ 4:23 pmAnd to think that to block this, all that had to happen was for the rational wing(s) of the GOP to stop squabbling long enough to get rid of Trump. But no. Cruz vs Rubio, Rubio vs Jeb, etc, while Ben Carson was playing Chauncy Gardiner and Kasich was playing yap dog, which he does so well.
And the Trump played on. The only person she could beat.
Kevin M (25bbee) — 10/17/2016 @ 4:25 pmI imagine ‘shock and awe’ will do even worse than green zone, because neither baldwin or even james marsden, most recently on westworld are big draws.

“HILLARY’S SWORN DEPOSITION REVEALS MORE PUBLIC LIES: She can’t accuse Putin of altering these statements — they’re testimony in the case pursued by Judicial Watch. Quote: “Hillary Clinton admitted under oath this week that she doesn’t recall asking anyone for permission to use a secret server and email account during her time in the State Department, contradicting previous public pronouncements that she had received approval.” Well, honesty’s been this election’s core issue since 1808…”

“KAMIKAZE KABUKI: O’Keefe Video Sting Exposes ‘Bird-Dogging’ — Democrats’ Effort to Incite Violence at Trump Rallies.
And Foval emphasizes that the goal of “bird-dogging” is to create a sense of “anarchy” around Trump: ”The bird-dogging. The aggressive bird-dogging. What I call it is ‘conflict engagement.’ … Conflict engagement in the lines at Trump rallies? We’re starting anarchy. And he needs to understand that we’re starting anarchy.”
As Insta-reader Rob Crawford noted a few years ago, “The modern anarchists are just the far-left’s muscle. Look at when and where they show up, who they march with and for, and how carefully the press ignores them and their acts.”
According to the DNC-MSM, fascism is forever descending upon the American right, but it always seems to land rather far left of the target, to paraphrase Tom Wolfe.”

SNL delayed its season opening a week–[another weekend off, eh Lorne?] because it wanted to do the opener based on the debate. That’s a show with an agenda. And it ain’t funny.

And did they really fire Billy? Or just banish him to the limbo of souls forbidden to reincarnate, like William de Soulis?

She’s terrible, of course. no argument there, but Trump is so random and ignorant and unwilling to listen that he could start a major war. He’s already said he doesn’t understand why we don’t use nukes if we have them.
The RANGE of stuff that a clueless fukk can do wrong as president is astounding. This is a man who stays up all night ranting at a beauty-pageant contestant when there are 1000 good reasons not to do so. He has the judgement of a squirrel.
So anyone who says that it is clear to them that he could not be any worse is a FOOL.

We may even use nukes first, under certain circumstances, against a nuclear-weapons state. If the Norks started shelling Seoul with their 10,000 dug-in artillery pieces, there’s not a lot of good options. If Iran nuked Israel, I suspect we wouldn’t have to do a thing except urge restraint.

Gabriel Hanna (64d4e1) — 10/17/2016 @ 7:43 pmI don’t know what Trump will do,
I know Clinton will institutionalize rule by despot with the cooperation of the media and dominant culture. We will see how well 2018 will work with repub, not just conservative, organizations can’t get IRS approval, other donors across the country will get the Walker treatment, and no sane person will be able to get a word in edgewise unless it is approved. Corruption will be the new norm, religious liberty will be tolerated in only the least amount possible, unless it is Islam or statism/secularism.
Trump will at least be impeachable, Clinton not so.
At least that is how I see it.
I agree with some above, for not having a candidate it looks like we know who you are against,
one would think that leftism and Clinton corruption must not be that bad after all.
But again, it is a terrible state to be in no matter what happens,
MD in Philly (f9371b) — 10/17/2016 @ 7:52 pmUnless Trump gets elected and impeached.
“Add to that the total politicization of education, entertainment, the media and now even sports and we have ourselves a nice little fascist state.”
But Trump was rude!! And said mean things about Cruz’s wife & father! What’s a little thing like total politicization of education, entertainment, the media compared to that?
Buncha people are going to be proud that they tried to stop that rude man Trump when the Gestapo comes and breaks down their door and drags them out into the street. They can hold their heads up high that they kept to their Tur Principles…in the brief moment after they feel the cold muzzle against their neck.
“130. And, again, if ALL that matters is not having President Hillary, why did we have to have this clown as our champion?”
Because he was the only one who made the policy statements that the Republican base has been demanding for the last few decades. If any of those other 16 had believably said “Build the Wall, Stop illegal immigration” Trump wouldn’t have even run.
The clowns in this situation are the people like you who don’t understand this.

Are you thinking that you are somehow being effective in driving Trump from public life? I would hazard a guess that the only people who even know of or pay any attention to Patterico’s blog are only 100 or so people who read & comment here.

Just out of curiosity, what’s your next step after Trump loses in a landslide and Hillary gets sworn in?
Do the #neverTrump’ers do a happy dance and celebrate?
When Hillary appoints 2-3 Left Liberal judges to the Supreme Court, and they find the hate speech exception in the 1st Amendment, and the scary black rifle execption to the 2nd, what will you do?
Write a blog post congratulating each other that Trump was stopped?
Toss all the Trump supporters out of the Republican Party–and then wonder why the next RNC convention will fit in the back room of Bonanza Steak House?
Or do you even think that far ahead?
’cause I’m really wondering … what is your “and then what”?
fred-2 (ce04f3) — 10/17/2016 @ 8:03 pmAs in: Trump lost. And then ….
if we’re going to suggest dystopian endings better get the details right,
In May 2009, Rexall is rendered comatose when the White House is bombed by Saudi Arabian terrorists in retaliation for an accidental misfire of an orbiting laser cannon that was intended to strike Libya, but strikes the Saudi oilfields instead. Nearly every successor in the hierarchy to the presidency is killed in the attack, leaving only the liberal Secretary of Agriculture, Howard Nissen, alive to take the post of president. Nissen proves to be an effective leader, ending years of scattered global wars being fought by Rexall’s PAX Peace Force and sending troops to South America to fight the destruction of the rainforests by renegade cattle industrialists.
narciso (d1f714) — 10/17/2016 @ 8:04 pmOf course, I don’t really expect any of you anti-Trumpers to answer that.

If people don’t like it, why do they spend time and energy arguing with you?
I honestly think some people just like to fight.
Me, I can learn from people who think differently than I do.
I’m not as angry as you are with this awful election. I’m much more depressed.
It seems to bring out the worst in so many people, including myself.
I don’t need to say this, because you live it, but just to be clear: you write whatever you wish. It’s your site.
And agree or disagree with you, there is always a great deal to be learned from your posts. So thank you.
Simon Jester (c63397) — 10/17/2016 @ 9:15 pmI seek not inhibition of your full range of expression.
Just that you reflect on, and thank this freedom’s true author.
papertiger (c8116c) — 10/17/2016 @ 9:41 pm@164… Someone said over the weekend that Trump is everything wrong with our culture….
A someone who’s a no one.
So what’s wrong with this:
He’s wealthy.
He’s successful.
He’s white.
He’s Presbyterian.
He has a pretty wife.
He has lovely ex-wives.
He has attractive children.
He has a Jewish son-in-law.
He has hired lots of Mexicans.
He has lots of property.
He has several smartphones.
He has expensive suits.
He has more expensive lawsuits.
He has a big airplane.
He has a cool helicopter.
He has money in the bank.
He has plastic in his pocket.
He has an entrepreneurial spirit.
He has a very smart tax accountant.
He has his way with the ladies.
He has hotels around the globe to stay in.
He has golf courses around the world to play on.
He likes to eat pizza with a fork.
He likes to tweet.
He likes to kiss women.
He likes to use Tic-Tacs.
He likes to watch TV.
He likes to sniff.
He likes to bluster.
He likes to boast.
He likes to exaggerate.
He likes to wheel and deal.
He likes to win.
And he lives in a magnificent, golden tower in that ‘shining city on hill’ with a lifestyle and attitude nostalgic Reaganites and most-driven Americans enviously dream, swoon and aspire to. This is ‘wrong’ about American culture!?…

Overnight, China launched two of their own astronauts into space for 30 days aboard their rudimentary space station … America cannot even do that anymore. And the world knows it. THAT infuriates me.

DCSCA (797bc0) — 10/17/2016 @ 9:44 pmUm, DCSA? You have posted that particular Wall O’ Text several times now.
You are an odd bird, to say the least. But I don’t think Trump would help your space vision, any more than Clinton would.
Simon Jester (c63397) — 10/17/2016 @ 9:50 pmwell we need to return to real science and technology, not the hisruptcy of skydragons, and the alchemy of green energy, good gravy, imagine if thomas edison were to return to our time, and found out we banned his invention, in favor of a much weaker product, which is actually toxic to people,
narciso (d1f714) — 10/17/2016 @ 9:53 pmDonald Trump?
Just kidding. Not a bad comment.
Patterico (540255) — 10/17/2016 @ 10:04 pm@172- Actually, Jester, it’s a win/win on the space angle. If JR wins, he’ll delegate operations and push commercial space w/cooperation w/Russia and possibly China as well. [Newt Gingrich, Moon President, your office awaits.]
If Maudie is victorious, she’ll give NASA a long-overdue booster shot. She is very pro-space; as a poodle pup her dream was to be an astronaut and she has publicly talked about in many forums over the years- it was she who dragged Bubba to KSC for Glenn’s STS-95 launch and her comments as SoS on space in Australia some years back revealed her commitment to something not high on the national agenda these days– except if you look up 285 miles where Russians and Americans are living and working together- unheard of in the Cold War days we’re supposedly reliving now.
But I’m willing to dump it to Trump it ‘to make America great again.’ And if she wins it’s still a win for the space effort. There’s practically nothing to lose at this point except more time.
And Jester, repetition is the most effective form of marketing– particularly to nostalgic Reaganites and most-driven Americans who enviously dream, swoon and aspire to taste the champagne of success– domestic, of course. The ‘Death Valley Days’ host of who oozed glamour with the likes of Sinatra and so forth would approve. Glad it’s sinking in. Keep reading. Vote Trump.

He won the most votes of his party.
DCSCA (797bc0) — 10/17/2016 @ 11:12 pmI know I’d rather take the wife and kids and spend a week with Trump than with DDA Frey.
After a week with Donald, we would be happy, rested, suntanned, full of optimism and goodwill toward men.
About 6 hours with patterico I’d slit my wrists after sending my family to live in Canada.
LBascom (b16cf9) — 10/18/2016 @ 5:35 amI’d rather have you take the wife and kids to spend a week with Trump than with me as well.
Since we’re all being gratuitously honest to the point of being insulting…
Patterico (540255) — 10/18/2016 @ 6:39 amSigh. Patterico, what is it with trolls? DCSCA has a laundry list of Teh Crayzee from times past.
And when both you and Goldstein agree someone is an unpleasant troll….
Simon Jester (c63397) — 10/18/2016 @ 8:56 amwell he’s ignorant of most things, we’re deep in the crazy years simon, or have you not realized,
narciso (d1f714) — 10/18/2016 @ 8:59 amhey now there’s plenty of Mr. Trump to go around

Kevin M (25bbee) — 10/18/2016 @ 10:18 amHe won the most votes of his party.
He won less than half. In an open convention he would have not been the nominee. If the GOP had had the same rules and the Dems, rather than the highly-leveraged plurality-takes-most rules, he would not have been the nominee. If being a Republican had been a qualification for voting, he would not have been the nominee.
