As good an actor as Alda, I could not fathom doing that to such a fine progressive. Besides the fact that Alda remains a good looking man-while Mitch? Uggh.

I also think Carl Reiner would make a better Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

I think Serkis might not be the best fit for Sessions.

And I agree with a poster above, that Anthony Atamnuik would make a better Trump.

So much for what I think.
