Do you know what the real purpose of NBC's Saturday Night Live is? If you thought comedy, you would be wrong according to Politico. No, the main purpose of SNL is to act in a completely partisan manner in order to TAKE DOWN TRUMP. Got that?
As Politico on Thursday makes clear, Saturday Night Live will be going after Donald Trump leading into the election starting with this weekend's episode. To make sure of this, politically unhinged Alec Baldwin will be portraying Trump. Perhaps Darrell Hammond is not partisan enough and plays it for that old fashioned thing called laughs. Politico takes us down the road of flat out partisanship in Will 'Saturday Night Live' take down Trump?

Me: "Does anybody watch SNL anymore?"
Do People still watch SNL?
No real people, only the born losers with no jobs, still living at home with Mommy/Daddy, and believing that Illiarily will help them, are the late night shows like SNL watchers.
They can stay up late every night, because they dont have a job requiring a good nights sleep!
Most don’t have the energy to register to vote, and then they will not vote because it will be a task!
I suspect Trump is entirely too well-known to Palinize him on SNL. He’s already his own self-caricature, and it doesn’t seem to hurt him.
He should buy ads on it, the kind that counter the content of the show.

Wishful thinking. SNL is actually more watched today than it was in the so-called "golden years" of Belushi, Radner and Aykroyd. Millions of people have it as an app on their mobile devices and clips from the show go viral on social media.
One can quibble about whether the show is as funny as it was back when but it is an indisputable fact that is more watched today.
I don't think that SNL has the ability to "Palinize" Trump as they did with Sarah. Trump is a known commodity and people expect him to be the object of the kind of satire that SNL does. Trump's a good sport about it too. He's hosted the show a couple of times and I wouldn't be surprised if he made another live appearance on the show before the election.
Yup... I once saw an article that had listed "The Daily Show" on Comedy Central as a top news source for liberals.
If SNL can influence someone politically, that person is so stupid he already votes democrat.
I do thank SNL for allowing Trump to host and Alec Baldwin for allowing Palin on The Match Game.
None of their 83 viewers were even considering voting for Trump anyway. SNL has long been a sad pathetic echo of their former iterations.
I do miss Floyd and Earl, lol and Count Floyd as well. Liked how it dealt with both American and Canadian subject material.
I agree with you about them not being able to Palinizne Trump. Sadly my hubby still watches SNL.
Trump has been a target of SNL for over 20 years. Nothing new.
Fixed.
Chevy Chase didn't take down Gerald Ford, and this year's cast will not take down Trump.
Not for the Dem prime target—Millennials!
SNL might have some effect on the election, but first they’ll have to hurry their lefty asses up and attract considerably more than their current 2,655 viewers.
Everybody with half a brain already knows Hillary is a lying sack and sick dog, while Trump is a very compelling option.
They are actually brutal to Hillary as well. But I am sure that will change
Lorne Michaels is a Kommie.
