Let me grab some Republican hack, build a set for him, put a suit on him, and have him say the most vile things I can imagine about the Democrats to a laugh track.
Tada!! I've magically transformed routine political attacks and invective into "comedy"!! That's Samantha Bee, Trevor Noah, Steven Colbert, Seth Myers, etc..
