Saturday Night Live makes its debut on NBC.

Good morning Middle Americans, 

It’s that time of the election cycle when words really do mean more that they normally would or should. And if you start parsing the words and reading between the lines of what Republican Senators are saying, in media interviews, and on the campaign trail you can hear their concern about the president’s standing in the polls. And what it means for their own political fortunes. One of the reasons why it’s so obvious, is because it’s been so hard for Republicans to criticize the president in the past, without paying a steep price. You might have seen some Senators say things to praise the president in the past, that could come back to haunt them now.  Not so much because they were wrong before, but because now, with their support of the president wavering, they look like they are equivocating. And during these times of crisis, this is no time for equivocation. 

Read all about it.
