This story first appeared in the Daily Beast:

This weekend Donald Trump is hosting Saturday Night Live, and to the chagrin of the GOP, everyone knows it will be a ratings hit. The Donald will have an hour and a half to make jokes at the expense of his Republican opponents and boost his brand, and there is nothing the GOP establishment can do about it. Trump has ridiculed, belittled, and comically dismissed anyone who has challenged him thus far, and now he will have the perfect platform to do more of it.

I doubt that the show will be used for Trump to pick on opponents.

WOOHOO GO TRUMP GO!!!!

[Parley Baer]

Go Trump Go

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Marshall McLuhan lives!

You know, I don’t like this, either.

And I am soooooooo far to the right that NO ONE makes me happy this time around, except for MAYBE Ted. MAYBE.

I HATE the world we’re living in where EVERYONE needs to be a CelebriTard.

Just. Stop. It. Stop it!

[BigEdLB]

The show is meant to exhibit the fact that Trump is human and can laugh at himself.

Ronald Reagan wasn’t a DC politician!

I don’t know why so many people out there get there panty’s in a twist over Trump,i’m 100% for Cruz and i totally enjoy all Trump is doing at this time.

Lighten up! Life’s to short to be miserable. Trump’s celebrity is a help for his campaign and he should use it. Everyone else uses everything at their disposal. It doesn’t mean he’s not serious about fixing the country.

He wins just by hosting the show, which is why his appearance has been fought against so desperately. Even though he's a party-line shill, Lorne knows Trump means ratings. This is more significant than WF Buckley's guesting on "Laugh In", not least because Buckley wasn't running for office. I remember Ruth Buzzi asking some set-piece question, then pretending to touché. Even then the entertainment industry was entirely in the bag for the Demwits.

And President Nixon was on LAUGH-IN 6 times.

[IwaCornDogs]

Damn Straight! :)

The Medium Is the Massage.

Exactly. It's about time we had a candidate fighting the dumbocrats on their on turf.

Trumps celebrity and social media expertise has destroyed GOPe and dumbocrats.

[entropy12]

Yes, it is hard to explain. Cruz himself never has gotten his panty’s in a twist over Trump. But so many Cruz supporters have.

That is why the acronym TDS is perfect. (Trump Derangement Syndrome).

Does Larry David get $5,000?

The Donald and SNL are well suited for each other, that’s true.
