That’s All Folks!
- This is the longest cold open SNL has ever had.
- An idea for next #GOPDebate, every 15 minutes pause the debate & Simon Cowell sends 1 candidate home until there are 3 left.

- Jake Tapper isn’t really asking about issues. He’s orchestrating the biggest televised catfight ever.
- This #GOPDebate should’ve been on @Bravotv. It’s giving me a Housewives reunion vibe.
- Stay tuned for the next round where holograms of Hoover, Nixon, Eisenhower & Regan will take the stage and debate.
