Sometimes we all just need a good laugh, and so I thought I'd share some of the sketches that I caught at various times throughout the campaign that really made me laugh and I hope you'll laugh at/with them too.  Some of them are not the best for young children to watch, so please keep that in mind if you are viewing these with small children "Hillary Clinton In Summertime" from the 5/16/2015 episode of Saturday Night Live "Abilify For Candidates" from the 10/3/2015 episode of Saturday Night Live "Democratic Primary Debate Cold Open" from the 10/17/2015 episode of Saturday Night Live "Donald Trump Would Make A Good Family Feud Contestant" from the 11/18/2015 episode of Late Night With Seth Meyers "Sarah Palin Endorses Donald Trump" from the 1/23/2016 episode of Saturday Night Live "Bern Your Enthusiasm" from the 2/6/2016 episode of Saturday Night Live "Ben Carson...
