I do not like the new person playing Joe Biden. I think he missed Joe Biden by many miles. He was nothing like the real Joe Biden. I would like to see someone else do Joe Biden, or for them to just bring back Jim Carrey to play Joe Biden. I know some people did not like Jim Carrey as Joe Biden, but I think Jim Carrey was many times better than the guy last night.

Even Carrey only got him halfway right (mainly the voice). The rest have been SNL-failures, stretching all the way back to 2007. The very things that are distinctive of the president, his empathy and decency, are not conducive to satire.

She can't tell anyone what she wants because she wants chaos.
