Larry David is very good at playing an old Jewish guy from Brooklyn.

I'm pretty sure Bernie Sanders and Larry David are the same person.

[hagbard]

That was the right choice for Sanders, every time I hear that guy talk, I think of Larry David.

“I don’t even have a backpack. I carry my stuff lose in my arm like a professor ” that’s what did it for me. Hilarious

It is weird seeing Alec Baldwin impersonating anyone but Donald nowadays.

"And now, if you don't mind... I'm going to dial it right up to a 10."

"Uhh go right ahead."

"WE'RE DOOMED!"

Larry David is the comedic genius.

[theunmaskedninja]

They did a pretty good Bernie impersonation, but he was right about one thing: we're doomed

Lincoln Chafee: "Goodnight America, goodbye forever!" Truer words were never spoken.

"they congregate near ponds!" 😭😭

I think if Larry David was running for president, I'd vote for him.

I love how SNL is pointing out all the reasons Hillary lost and people still can't seem to figure it out

Kate McKinnon is hilarious as Hillary Clinton. She's the best Hillary I've seen on SNL since Amy Poehler. That psychotic look she gets in her eyes. It makes me laugh so much.

"I've got some chicken, that'll do!" Kate McKinnon is hilarious 😂.

[metalhead]

"If you get into bed with Bernie Sanders tonight, you're gonna wake up with President Trump tomorrow. So instead, get into bed with me, Hillary Clinton."

Oh, the irony.

[LexBlazer]

This was the best SNL skit of the 2016 Primary man, remember when there was a chance Bernie Sanders would be the next president? What a hopeful time it was....

[MrTpeppers]

As someone who worked with O'Malley when he was mayor, this is spot on hilarious

[MsSHINeeTVXQSuju]

Whoever was doing the Bernie Sanders impression was pretty good. :)

"There is no golden goose"
"Sure there is they congregate at the ponds"
Beautiful.
