Well, it looks like “Saturday Night Live” has made its decision on which Dem they want to win the primary:
SNL officially campaigning for warren is literally as cringe as it gets

During the show’s cold open, Kate McKinnon, playing the Massachusetts lib, took a shot at Joe Biden:
On SNL, Kate McKinnon reprised her role as Elizabeth Warren, rolling out her plan to pay for Medicare-for-all.
"Nobody asks Biden how to pay for stuff because his plans are so vague," she says. "No one asks how we’re going to pay for ‘Remember Obama.’" https://t.co/UrravTef0v

And at billionaire Jeff Bezos:
"Mr. Bezos, the government is a little like Amazon Prime. You reap the benefits, you gotta pay an annual fee. And that's called taxes."

There was some mockery over the cost of her Medicare for All plan, however:

But, for the most part, this could’ve been a campaign ad. Watch here:
Saturday Night Live’s treatment of Warren through the campaign has been as close as the show gets to an endorsement—and last night’s cold open, blunting the most intense week she’s faced so far, could almost be re-cut as a campaign ad: https://t.co/tkJWIkSsP1

Another year of this to go:
I thought this was an exaggeration. The skit is even more pathetic than expected. And it isn't even funny. https://t.co/RzqXRwZPCy

This has to annoy other Democrats as much as Republicans. SNL is basically giving an in-kind donation to the Warren campaign every week.
