“Saturday Night Live” host Julia Louis-Dreyfus reprised her role on “Seinfeld” as Elaine Benes and asked a question to the late-night comedy show’s Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) at a mock Democratic presidential debate.

Bene asked Sanders, played by Larry David, his exact plan to break up big banks.

“Once I’m elected president, I’ll have a nice schvitz in the White House gym,” Sanders replied. “Then I go to the big banks, I’ll sit them down and yadda yadda yadda — they’ll be broken up!”

  1. JLD is a comedy treasure. SNL, not so much.

  2. Yada Yada Yada is about right for Bernie’s fantasies.

    It’s not that his ideas aren’t good; it’s that getting a GOP congress to agree will be impossible.

  3. He doesn’t need the GOP Congress, he’s going to lead a revolution! And that revolution will be revolutionary! And once that revolutionary revolution is over, the banks will be all broken up, the millionaires and billionaires will be paying their fair share and we’ll have Medicare for all.

    BELIEVE!!!

  4. Europe is trying to get away from the Socialism that has rendered them incapable of economic growth…the same socialism Sanders wants to bring to the US…15% of employees are government
    employees in the US…40% of employees are government employees in Denmark.

    Whenever I ask HillaryBots to list all the good decisions she’s made, I get a lot of yada, yada, yada.

    I’m sure there were a lot of yada, yada’s in her speech’s to the big banks. That’s about $75,000 per yada.
