Bernie Sanders: Larry David Does Me Better Than I Do (SNL video)

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Sunday that he thought Larry David, who impersonated him on "Saturday Night Live" Oct. 17, did better than he does.

David appeared on NBC's late night comedy show and performed in a sketch that mocked the Democratic debate.

But it was truthful...and I sure hope Bernie doesn't end up as VP. That would be such a waste.

Ditto on Hillary. I don't want her in any public office or government post ever again.

as well. No Sanders is not going to be Hillary's VP. And she will not be his. He will pick someone truly progressive.

Just say'n.

Funny, the end bothered me as well.

But his website did get a plug.

He really connects with people too. I didn't like the ending either, but I think that was to make fun of people that think it will happen.
