SNL Imagines What Would Happen If Bernie Sanders Was Really Larry David

Larry David is very good at being a lot like Bernie Sanders – but what if Sanders was a lot like David?

This weekend's Saturday Night Live reimagined a new HBO series, Bern Your Enthusiasm, starring David as Sanders, and just like that David classic, it followed our curmudgeonly presidential candidate as his many minor personality quirks derailed his hopes for a national political revolution.

For example: While campaigning in Iowa, Sanders refused to shake the hand of a supporter after she had just coughed on it, angering her and her three family members.

("She didn't have the decency to give me a wipe!" he later told a campaign staffer.)

And then later, while out on his own to get a coffee – his campaign office only had 2 percent milk and "if I'm gonna have milk, I'll have milk" – Sanders came to the aid of a woman who had just wrecked her car, dislocating her shoulder.

She was on the way to the polls to vote for him! Could he please just pop her shoulder back into place?

He squirmed and backpedaled away from the car: "Go to a hospital. I don't pop, I'm not a popper."

"I'm from Brooklyn, we don't pop in Brooklyn!" he said.

The rest is, well, history: Sanders lost the Iowa caucuses by a razor-slim margin to Hillary Clinton.

How slim? In the SNL world, just 0.2 percent ... or five Berned-out voters.
