The best SNL suggestion ever

[canetoad]

This is just a snip from an opinion piece in The Age by Josephine Tovey, Fairfax correspondent in the USA.

His thin-skin was already on show, now comedians know his sexism can be turned back on him too. Already Rosie O'Donnell - absurdly, Trump's apparent nemesis - has put her hand up to play his alt-right svengali Steve Bannon.

Personally, I'm hanging out for Ellen Degeneres, gay rights pioneer, to play Mike Pence.

That's something I would really like to see.

1. OMG OMG

This is perfect.

We need to get in touch with Ellen. Would she do it? I find her kind of low key, not that that is a criticism. Maybe this is just not her style.

3. I bet she would consider it at the very least...

and maybe if it shows up on the twitter machines she might see the suggestion/request!

[bettyellen]

4. She's got a huge lifestyle brand just launched- I can imagine the fear....

Especially with what DT is tweeting these days.

5. His twitstorms

for blackmail are starting have less affect as everyone is hip to the stink on that stuff now... and it could enhance her brand considerably too.

[bettyellen]

6. She's been on a real mission to "keep it positive" - it's kind of her brand.

If she does speak out it would likely be an issue with her business partners... I hope she does and we appreciate the risks she is taking.

7. I get the same vibe. She has trademark mannerisms of speech and body language...

Everything I've ever seen her in contains those -- and she always behaves (and acts in roles as) a dear person. That's why she got the moniker America's Sweetheart at one point.

8. Yes, yes, YES!

Ellen as Pence is purr-fect!

Gay rights activist meet dumfuckistan Pence!

Rich beyond words, indeed! GOELLEN!

2. Oh YES!!! Pleezepleezepleeze!

That would be awesome if all three were in the same skit, that would be a fountain of turmoil for the cheato and company. And the restofus would have a temporary good feeling for a few days.

9. Rosie should do trump.

Several of peeresident rumpus tweets about Melissa's portrayal was that it was disgusting that a woman played Spicer.

Soo, if he hates it when a female plays his propaganda secretary, imagine how much he'd explode if one of his most vocal female opponents Rosie O'Donnell pops up on SNL portraying him. Maybe have a trump vs trump skit where the Baldwin trump and the O'Donnell trump argue with each other about how to achieve the most vile things. Maybe do it as a schizophrenic episode showing all the double promises trump made throughout the election process and since he's been elected.. Things like:

“I have no intention of running for president.” (Time, September 14, 1987)
“I am officially running for president.” (New York, June 16, 2015)

“I’m pro-life.” (CPAC, February 10, 2011)
“Look, I’m very pro-choice. I hate the concept of abortion. I hate it. I hate everything it stands for. I cringe when I listen to people debating the subject, but you still—I just believe in choice. … I am strongly for choice, and yet I hate the concept of abortion. … I am pro-choice in every respect … but I just hate it.” (NBC News, October 24, 1999)
“I am very, very proud to say that I’m pro-life.” (Cleveland, Ohio, August 6, 2015)

Anyway, I'm sure Trumpery will have a cow if he saw Rosie portraying him.
