Will Ferrell Went On SNL As George W. Bush Last Night To Rip Donald Trump And Republican Nominees
Will Ferrell returned to Saturday Night Live last night and reprised the greatest presidential impersonation of all time — seriously, politics aside if you don’t like Ferrell as W. you’re a humorless asshole — to skewer the weak AF list of Republican presidential candidates. It was excellent.

He didn’t mention Kasich, the main GOP contender I could (and would) vote for, and I can’t tell if that’s good or bad, but then again being forgotten as a candidate probably isn’t great. Shit. Probably should’ve saved Mitt for 2016.
Liberal.
10 years ago at 12:07 pm“Weak AF republican candidates” as relative to what? A Menopausal impulsive liar and a walking skeleton?
10 years ago at 12:15 pmIt’s an objectively bad field. Hillary sucks too, yes. This is the worst presidential election in my lifetime. But if your justification of the shitty GOP noms is really, “Well they’re bad, but they’re not WORSE!” then you’re either in deep denial or a part of the problem that let such a shitty field get so far.
10 years ago at 12:24 pmComparing the GOP candidates to the Dem candidates isnt a proper comparison. Remember, for the other side, Hillary and Bernie are great candidates: a corporate liberal and a real liberal. The GOP has become a reality show, while the Dem battle could redefine the party. It doesn’t matter much on the media, but it will when the real politics start coming into play
10 years ago at 1:05 pmI understand what your saying you’ll always get hate here but I agree
10 years ago at 1:47 pmIt’s always amusing when young people say “This is the worst [whatever] in my lifetime.” You have seen only the tip of History’s iceberg. At any rate, the conservative base is going through a fascinating transformation. They are casting out the establishment, and searching for populist replacements. Unfortunately, there’s a limited talent pool, and the voters are just latching onto any warm body (Trump, Carson, Cruz) to fill the void. But being from Missouri you should know that great populist leaders like Harry Truman sometimes get trashed in their own time, yet are vindicated by History.
10 years ago at 1:15 pmRight, that’s why I qualified the statement with “in my lifetime” because it would ridiculous of me to say something hyperbolic like “worst all time.” Though to be fair I have no recollection of the 88 election, so that could’ve been worse, but I doubt it.
10 years ago at 1:27 pmIn 88 both candidates were losers. Harrison lost the popular vote, but Cleveland lost the Electoral College. What? You meant 1988? I don’t remember that, either. I was drunk that year.
10 years ago at 1:46 pmLosing the College. NF
10 years ago at 1:50 pmWe don’t like to talk about that
10 years ago at 3:15 pmOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BACON HITS HIM WITH THE OBJECTIVELY LOGICAL REASONING
10 years ago at 1:55 pmHe dabbed on him.
10 years ago at 3:14 pmYou have issues. I don’t know what they are, but I know you have them.
10 years ago at 7:10 pmRob. By no way was I justifying the GOPs candidates by saying the Lefts are worse. I whole heartedly support Ted Cruz based on ideas and decision I have made through my own reasoning and validated by my life experiences. Just roasting the clowns the left are fielding as candidates.
10 years ago at 2:56 pmPart of the problem is that smart, moderate candidates just don’t get the kind of attention that the crazy ones get. People like Kasich, Fiorina, and Jeb are out there proposing good policies, but they don’t make for as juicy news as Trump wanting to exclude all Muslims. And so everyone says “the GOP doesn’t have any good candidates”, when, in reality, our good candidates just aren’t getting any attention.
10 years ago at 3:39 pmIt’s easy to bash someone. I’d like to see any of these idiot liberal celebrities explain why their candidates are better.
10 years ago at 5:19 pmTed Cruz is the man
10 years ago at 6:07 pmAs South Park said, all elections are between a Turd Sandwich and a Giant Douche.
10 years ago at 6:55 pmTed Cruz is one of the smartest candidates to run for president in the past 30 years. Look at the guys resume. It’s unbelievable. People who want to talk about Cruz being stupid are completely ignorant because they spend too much time reading articles on Buzzfeed (looking at you TFM staff). Cruz and Paul are basically libertarian. Small government with secure borders. Sounds pretty good to me.
10 years ago at 10:32 pmCruz is absolutely not “basically Libertarian”. He is very strongly against gay marriage, abortion, and legalization of marijuana, all of which are issues Libertarians typically support
10 years ago at 11:42 pmI don’t think you have a very strong grasp of political ideology. Thinking that ideologies revolve around social issues is part of what drives ignorance in this country. Obviously Cruz isn’t 100% libertarian, but neither is Rand Paul. Also, don’t think that Abortion would be a libertarian belief. Abortion comes down to the belief of whether or not a fetus is a human life. No party endorses murder, so if you believe that is murder, you don’t support it.
Tl;dr Cruz is much closer to a libertarian (ideologically speaking) than he is establishment.
10 years ago at 11:54 pmThe Official Libertarian Party lines are pro-choice. You can check it out on their website, it’s the only thing I disagree with in their political ideaology.
10 years ago at 9:15 amOne of the candidates is only going to make America great again but I guess that’s not enough for you bacon.
10 years ago at 12:58 pmBob Dole doing Viagra commercials. FaF
10 years ago at 2:52 pmI mean unfortunately he’s not lying. Trump’s mere presence in the race almost dooms the rest of the republican party and he has all of the leverage. Unfortunately none of the rest are strong enough to challenge him. Getting Hillary or Bernie is a disaster but Trump is going to make sure that either he wins or no one in the GOP wins.
10 years ago at 12:19 pmWould vote for Kasich… Might as well slap a Bernie ’16 sticker on this guy’s noggin
10 years ago at 12:21 pmStand with Rand you pussys
10 years ago at 12:23 pmWe can only hope that Rand is just a puppet for his dad… #RonPaul2016
10 years ago at 3:52 pmRand Paul and Ted Cruz are the only two candidates who actually could lead our country, especially after the damage President Obama has done. It’s a shame that neither are likely to win, which is sad. If only Republicans realized that the only thing they have to do in order to beat someone like Hillary is not put their foots in their mouths, we’d have a drastically different political landscape than the one we have today.
10 years ago at 11:09 pmSo Bacon=SteveHolt? Figures.
10 years ago at 12:30 pmNever questioning your party. Yeah that makes for a healthy democracy.
10 years ago at 12:33 pmSo what’s your solution for curbing domestic terror? Because the only alternative that I see is just fucking shredding the Constitution and going full Stalinist Russia. I would rather see a solution that preserves our civil liberties as a whole than to have this happen.
10 years ago at 12:36 pmNot sure how you got from point A to wherever the hell you just landed so quickly.
10 years ago at 12:41 pmMost of the criticism I’ve seen of Trump is that citizens cannot legally be banned from entering the country.
1) A spokeswoman said that. Not Trump.
2) Congress can set whatever standards it wishes for admission to the United States. Noncitizens have no legal standing to sue. If you want to look that up, the case is Kleindienst v. Mandel, 1972.
3) Both the director of the FBI and Secretary of Homeland Security have stated that they are unable to vet the 10,000 refugees to be brought in. Yet all major Democratic candidates want to ignore that and bring even more in.
4) The Constitution protects the right to interstate travel, a civil liberty that may be massively curtailed in the case of a national emergency.
5) In the case of a resettled refugee who was missing from his residence in Louisiana, the federal government refused to cooperate with the state’s investigation.
TLDR: The GOP establishment is getting its panties in a wad over something that a spokeswoman, not Trump, said. In fact, Trump is legally correct. If you want to blame anyone, blame the Supreme Court. Further, the Democratic nominees want to ignore the warnings of two major heads of executive agencies and go ahead with bringing in more refugees when the vetting process is wholly inadequate. Hell, the Feds don’t even want to cooperate with the states when things go wrong.
So yes, Bacon, I am criticizing the RNC. Have some fucking due diligence and stop treating SNL as a legitimate news source.
10 years ago at 1:03 pmStop treating Bacon like a legitimate political analyst. He’s just some guy who throws shit at the Internet wall in a (so far very successful) attempt to get people to click on it. His political acumen is somewhere south of Charles Barkley’s.
10 years ago at 7:19 pmI agree with you dude. People want to treat everyone equal but at the end of the day we cannot be a charity case with our country. We have to protect those who are already here.
10 years ago at 8:23 pmYeah the NSA and TSA preserve civil liberties….
10 years ago at 12:44 pmIf the goal here was to turn a piece of entertainment into an analysis of your presidential candidates, you knocked this one outta the park.
Furthermore, no one cares that you support the candidate that won the “most likely to look like Clay Aiken as a 60 year old” contest.
10 years ago at 1:14 pmVoting Democrat. NF
10 years ago at 1:23 pmFinally after getting through all those shitty comments someone is starting to make some sense.
10 years ago at 2:03 amThis just in: In the popularity poll SteveHolt is coming in as 63.2% more favorable to Bacon. A truly shocking turn of events for the young writer SteveHolt as not too long ago every commenter was calling for his balls on a platter.
10 years ago at 1:47 pmRubio 2016 bitches
