Come the 19 December, the electoral college voters may decide not to place their democratically elected votes with Trump, something that would surely cause outrage across the country.
Trying to persuade those voters not to vote Republican is ‘Hillary Clinton’. Well, not the real Hillary Clinton, but Kate McKinnon’s version of the Democrat on SNL.
In a hilarious Saturday Night Live sketch, McKinnon blended together the upcoming electoral college vote and the Christmas classic Love Actually.
Instead of Andrew Lincoln’s character appearing at Keira Knightley’s door and using cards to talk to his lost love, McKinnon’s Hilary uses the same technique to secretly talk to the electoral college voter, calling Trump ‘cray’ on one card. Watch the hilarious sketch below.
Another sketch from the same episode of Saturday Night Live saw John Goodman join Alec Baldwin to mock Trump’s latest cabinet picks.
Trump has spoken out against SNL on numerous occasions, primarily using Twitter to call for the show to be cancelled for being unfunny. He has hosted twice before.
