If TRUMP had insulted some other group, would he be hosting SNL?

Some other group of: race, ethnicity, disability, religion, gender. Back in the farmworkers union days, after the first boycott of (grapes?), when more boycotts followed, some otherwise sympathetic Libs said *with a smile*, "What are we supposed to be boycotting this week? I've lost track."

I myself admit to myself scorning wingnuts-I-would-not-watch, three (that I know of) cults or religions, and one generation of wingnut-laden immigrants. The first time I saw a clothes label reading "Made in Vietnam" I blanched.

As to whether to watch TRUMP tonight, it falls in the category of needing to see for myself something that is politically in the news, same as when I saw The Passion of the Christ.

Until after the elections.

After that, we'll see.

4. Have not watched SNL for two years, since NBC went right wing with the show. Now made obvious.

The new SNL is like the new GOP, a completely different show from what is was with a completely different agenda - the corporate agenda.
