SNL opener...too real to be funny.

Mitt sneaking milk on the porch. All his sons played by the same character.

I'm sure they expected the Karl Rove gag to be a big applause line. But NOTHING. Total crickets. It was just too plausible...the legacy of Mitt the Failed.

Other than the Karl Rove gag the rest of the skit was
kind of poignant. Queen Ann commiserating with the
disconsolate Mitt. I was expecting something snarky
and in your face.

So I guess they decided not to dance
on the grave.

Trump's inside doing his racist impersonation.

That got the most laughs.

The rest of the show sucks so far. Oh well, time for bed.
