'SNL' knocks Donald Trump and GOP; calls Dems 'boring'

As the 2016 election continues to heat up across the country, "Saturday Night Live" knocked the leading Republican candidates after a hectic political week.

Taking another crack at the latest Trump news, Darrell Hammond reprised his role as Trump alongside Bobby Moynihan as a shellshocked New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. The impression mocked Christie's speech after Super Tuesday where the governor joined Trump on stage.

"I really am running the best campaign, aren't I?" Hammond as Trump said. "The media is saying they haven't seen anything like this since Germany in the 1930s."

CNN correspondent Jake Tapper, played by cast member Beck Bennett, joked about the "boring" Democratic race between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.

"I know this is going to be boring, but let's take a quick look at the Democrats," Bennett said, showing a charged-up Kate McKinnon as Hillary Clinton touting her wins on Super Tuesday.

Former cast member Jason Sudeikis also returned to the show for the first time in two years to reprise his role as former Massachusetts governor and 2012 presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Last week, Romney criticized Trump intensely, calling the candidate a "phony" who is "playing the American public for suckers."

"For the last nine months I've sat down and watched Donald Trump say something every day that was either racist or sexist," Sudeikis playing Romney said. "We in the GOP . . . do not say racist and sexist things. We imply them subtly over decades and decades of policy."

The episode also featured a parody political ad for Trump called "Racists for Donald Trump" showing fake supporters in Nazi and Ku Klux Klan garb.
