Yes, the Weekend Update segment even had the video clips of the awkward introductions from the earlier debate to make it seem like the candidates were doing all this on their own and not due to a flubbed introduction by the moderators. I wonder if they would have been as quick on the draw if it happened during a Saturday night Democrat debate.

Also, Bernie Sanders was featured last night. I have to say that Sanders' appearance on SNL was even better than Trump's. They had this skit where Sanders wouldn't shake the hand of a black woman supporter because she coughed into her hand before offering it for handshake. Bernie said "I'm not shaking a hand infested with germs." Then another supporter gets into a car accident on her way to vote for him in New Hampshire. He refused to pop her shoulder back in place, saying "I'm not a doctor." He ends up losing five votes this way and sure enough, he loses New Hampshire by exactly five votes and at the end of the skit, the five voters he dissed are all featured holding Shrillary signs on the news coverage.

I was kind of surprised Bernie would sign on to such a skit but it was definitely funny. I wonder if they had originally written it for Trump (being that he has a phobia about shaking hands).
