"I believe marriage is meant to be a sacred institution between two unwilling teenagers"....this may be one of the most slam dunk lines in SNL history. Never has hypocrisy been called out so artfully.

[@iconicphotostudios]

It had the added benefit of infuriating the real Palin!

[@IshaSingh-zu2wh]

What does this joke mean. I am not American

[@hutch1197]

@@IshaSingh-zu2wh She had actively campaigned on a "Christian Morals" platform, like so many in her party. They staunchly opposed gay marriage on the grounds it denigrated the "sacred institution of traditional marriage". But during this campaign, her teenage daughter got pregnant and they had pressured her daughter and boyfriend to get married so that it would look better from a public relations standpoint. In other words, she was pushing two unwilling teenagers to get married. The best part is: After all that, her daughter divorced him and then got pregnant again with another boyfriend. Also, the daughter was on an paid tour to preach sexual abstinence to teenagers. And....Sarah Palin herself got divorced. This family was an absolute circus.

[@SDriver1111]

Remember when she was asked about what newspapers she reads. ANY halfway intelligent and knowledgeable person could have invented a good answer: Name 1 or 2 of the major papers in Alaska. And she could throw out a few big names. (WaPo, New York Times, FP Foreign Policy, the Economist ...and on the Conservative side The American Spectator, National Review, The Christian Science Monitor). 3 out of that pool would have made her look good. While saying she wish she had more time for reading and that her staff gets her informed and points out interesting article to her. but then of course she would have needed to EVER read a tiny bit to even be aware of these names. And it would not hurt to have read an article in the recent past - just in case you are asked. The folksy blabbering carries only that far - it is hard to conceal stupidity and complete ignorance when pressed. That is the reason Trump uses certain vague phrases: No one can contradict him on: "We will see." or "I do not show what we have up our sleeves." or "It is easy to win a trade war" - (the latter would require a whole lecture, that can be contradicted, but it is not a single fact that is true or false). Or: it will be tremendous. It will be great. Sure reporters can press him WHAT will be great and how are they going to achieve it precisely. (The crowds are eating it up, no questions asked). "you will get better and cheaper healthcare. It will be much, much better than Obamacare" - Now: If Sanders says that - one knows that he worked behind the scenes and for decases on that issue - the pesky details. There is not time in the speech - and the voters do not care about the details anyway. Trump on the other hand makes such upbeat statements in a state of blissful and complete ignorance. So naturally later Trump said: "Who know that healthcare is so complicated." lol

[@NickFrmCA1]

The sincerity in the delivery of "Oh, are we not doing the talent portion?" gets me every time.

[@jdzeeb]

Alec Baldwin as Donald Trump Larry David as Bernie Sanders Kate McKinnon as Elizabeth Warren all iconic, but Tiny Fey as Sarah Palin is unparalleled

[@corections5068]

Alec Baldwin is a good at portraying evil characters in movies ( since in him dwells so much anger and resentment plainly exhibited by anger filled, profanity laden diatribes at his daughter, Kim Basinger and a violent confrontation he creates with reporters) but is replete with hatred towards Trump, which easily shows in his vindictive, venom filled horribly uncharacteristic portrayal...it may appear funny to some but it does not reflect Trump's personal or professional conduct.....Tina Fay fails to mimic Sarah Palin on numerous levels...she is not nearly as attractive as Sarah...her presentation of Palin as an airhead (as written by the very far leaning writers at the time) is the democrats fantasy and a utter reflection of the terrible fear they had of her being a sweeping conservative voice to drive the Republican voters who were disaffected ( by MCcain's lackluster performance against Obama's political and personal attacks) to the polls in overwhelming numbers to clinch the presidency...

Tina Fey is great here, but you should see Julianne Moore in the movie "Game change" acting Sarah Palin, now that is a fascinating piece of art.

[@Lysimachus]

modarXmodar Watched it just now, I think Moore's Palin is better but she's an actor after all while Fey is in comedy. I thought it was funny in the film that they included scenes of Palin (played by Moore) watching herself on TV (played by Fey), so you could compare their impressions right there - that's when I thought "Moore is better."

Man, what a fun campaign season it was! Good times! John McCain was always supportive of Sarah, no matter her many misfortunes. Of course, Sarah with no heart, then enthusiastically endorsed Donald Trump twice, even after Trump himself said of McCain, “He’s not a war hero”.

The hard work of governments around the world, to get out of the mess you people created in 2008, has more to do with the improving economy in America.

Consrignrant are you and Rocky Baffoon are you nuts? Obama never had over 3% growth on a good day. Trump Trumps that every time.

He also rolled back Obama ear regulations on small businesses that greatly helped the little man and stocks are doing better than ever. My people didn't crate any mess. I'm a common sense independent voter and the Bush's and Clinton are just as deep state fucked up as Obama but now we have someone in office that knows how to do the job. You liberal hate bots can say what you want about Trump but he is kicking ass and he is already starting to win the trade war. Mexico and Canada have gave in and EU and China well follow soon. After all Trump holds the Trump cards, the American consumer and the world beard basket. Job creation is up since Trump is in and Obama is out so i would say you need to stay away from CNN fake news and other hate Trump deep state leftist outlets because they are feeding you full of shit and you are eating it up. My wife had a hard time finding a job under Obama and the rest of them ass holes but now she is a working girl and my business is rocking like it never did before under Trump.
