‘The Simpsons’ Make 2016 Election a Nightmare in New Clip
She awakes from a political nightmare one night and hyperventilates into a paper bag, lamenting the lack of manners among the 2016 presidential hopefuls. Trump and Ted Cruz exchange insults over Trump’s bankruptcies and Cruz’s Canadian birth. What is it with these ding-dongs?’ For example, who else out there enjoyed Kasich wearing a sash that says “I’m the nice one”, something that he has reiterated time and time again on the campaign trail to varying effect?
This is followed by a song and dance routine by the candidates to Marvin Gaye’s “How Sweet It Is” – which promptly goes to hell as the candidates return to form, insulting each other and fighting.
Not that it works out: with the short disintegrating into a full-on brawl between candidates, Republicans and Democrats alike.
In the clip titled “The Debateful Eight”, Marge is seen tossing in bed as actual sound bytes from recent debates are played in her head. Trump then ejected the disc from a robotic Marco Rubio.
Marge proceeds to dream about the various candidates coming to blows, with Hillary Clinton using her pearls as a weapon and Donald Trump’s hair being mechanical.
