baldwin back. last week he wasn t on the show. alec baldwin said he has a busy schedule. but he ll show up from time to time. we ll see as snl figures out how to make fun of a trump presidency who will be playing trump in the long term. not the far reaching conversation that the real mitt romney described yesterday. you know, snl has so many eyeballs and you wonder if through comedy if there can be some sort of unifying force for americans at this point as a whole. do you think snl can do it? i m thinking the opposite. i m thinking snl will continue to play mostly to either liberals or moderates who enjoy laughing at the presidency. certainly what we saw in the debate parodies was a lot of criticism of trump. here s another example. this is the re-creation of a donald trump and mike pence meeting. let s move on to obamacare.
think? let s take a poll right now. who is the best baldwin brother? it s billy. i mean, i think it s aleck when it what he does is pretty funny on saturday night live. you have to give it to him. absolutely. it s strange. i ve been doing some commentary sin t since the convention with your show and other outlets. my brother was thrust into the spotlight with playing trump, and then he showed audiotape at the debate and hit media row. they asked him directly about snl. it was taken out of context. they said do you think your brother is funny. he said i don t think anything is funny about this election, and i think there s too much at stake. he didn t really say snl wasn t funny, but that s the way it was spun. if you re going to hit media row and answer those questions about snl, you re setting yourself up. you have to have thicker skin. i hope he comes on here.
and it is still the case that people are supporting him. that s the thing you say everybody and there are a lot of people out there. they like trump. they like trump and this is the point they like trump in spite of the fact that he is not prepared to be president. national review says the establishment is coming around and they think it could happen. he could win. i am terrified that that is correct, yes. do you have a choice? i love that analogy. it is lucy with the football. and he keeps playing trump s game. it is not a wise game. it is not. up until thiss point, donald trump has gone after immigrants and jeb s mother and sister. we had to wait until his brother to defend him. that s what i don t understand. it has been up until maybe last year incredibly unpopular. the republican base now loves
posted any of the postings. friday they were going to look into it. fast forward to today, and he s gone. but as this controversy comes of course all eyes are on trump in the lead-up to thursday s debate. he realizes there s some sort of target on his back. today, he predicted that a lot of his opponents would come after him in the debate. he said he s not looking to throw any punches, at least not the first one. you have to counter punch. i m not looking to start anything. lot of people say they re getting ready and that i have got their lines given to them by the pollsters. everything s perfectly put down by a pollster, what to say. if that comes it comes, and i ll have to handle it at the time. chris christie was really down playing trump s recent rise in the polls saying anyone can
censor political speech based on content. the convention center is a public facility and open to everyone willing to pay for it include playing trump. on the occasion of donald trump visiting phoenix tomorrow jeff flake told reporters that donald trumpae views are coarse ill-informed and inaccurate and not representative of the republican party. john mccain criticized donald trump today, too. i guarantee you the overwhelming majorityrgejority do not agree with the attitude he s displayed toward our hispanic citizens. we love them. donald trump s expected visit to arizona tomorrow it will spark protests tomorrow. it s already sparking consternation amongst some leading republicans in arizona. on the other hand it s the
