For background, below is the video of Bernie Sander's rally in Boston, Massachusetts, yesterday, October 3, 2015.
Now here is the link to Good Morning America's coverage of Bernie's rally yesterday with 20,000 people attending, but they don't mention the overflow crowds. (Sorry, I don't know how to embed an ABC video.)
Below is a transcript of the segment that I created, which I took the liberty to bold in some places.
Cecelia: Democratic front runner Hillary Clinton getting a ton of laughs last night on SNL. No one was off limits, not Donald Trump’s hair, not even herself.
ABC’s Mary Bruce joins us now from the White House.
So, Mary, Clinton trying to show her funnier side. Did it work?
Mary: Hey, Cecelia, good morning. Well, Saturday Night Live certainly has had a lot of fun at Hillary Clinton’s expense, but last night she tried to show she’s not being laughed at but laughing along.
SNL scene:
(Hillary comedian) Hey, bartender, give me a couple.
The bartender is Hillary and pours Hillary comedian a drink.
End of scene.
Mary: Overnight, Hillary Clinton getting in on the joke on Saturday Night Live.
SNL scene:
Hillary play a bartender: Oh, I get it, you’re a politician.
Hillary comedian: Yes, yes. And how about you?
Hillary playing a bartender: Well, me, I’m just an ordinary citizen who believes the Keystone Pipeline will destroy our environment.
End of scene.
Mary: This is Hillary Clinton 2.0, a candidate trying to show she’s funny, authentic, and spontaneous.
SNL scene:
Hillary comedian: I wish you could be president.
Hillary playing a bartender: Me, too.
End of scene.
Mary: From girl talk with actress Lena Dunham, Lena asking, “Do you consider yourself a feminist,” and Hillary responding, “Yes, absolutely,” to showing off her whip and nay nay skills on Ellen, and jumping on stage with Mark Anthony in Miami, the candidate has been trying to show off her lighter side.
(Now is shown a picture of Bernie Sanders at a rally with thousands of people cheering)
With Bernie Sanders drawing huge crowds and closing in on Clinton’s lead, her campaign is hoping the new strategy will help her turn the page after a summer full of controversy.
Candidates have cashed in on SNL’s popularity in the past (McCain and Tina Fey as Sarah Palin skit shown, and a skit with Obama wearing a mask and taking it off), and now Clinton is hoping being live from New York will help liven her likability.
Now, Clinton didn’t just poke fun at herself, she also took a stab at Donald Trump, even showing off her Trump impersonation. Now, Clinton’s new personable push comes at a critical time with the first Democratic debate just nine days away – Dan and Cecelia.
Dan: Yeah, and those poll numbers dropping and Bernie Sanders raising a lot of money, a critical time, indeed. So thank you, Mary.
So let’s dive more deeply into this with ABC news chief anchor George Stephanopoulos who will be hosting This Week right here later this morning
Cecelia: George, you know, it’s not been a good week for Hillary Clinton. I could watch that SNL stuff all week – all day long. You’ve got this hacking, this reported Russian hackers trying to crack into her personal email account this week, these emails were released, you’ve got -- you saw those crowds with Bernie Sanders, and you’ve got this looming threat of Joe Biden. As Mary says this debate just stays (Something). So what does she need to do?
George: This month is soooo big for Hillary Clinton. Who would know that October would be so critical. You’ve got the debate, as you said. She’s got that Benghazi testimony on October 22nd, a HUGE dinner in Iowa on October 24th, and of course this decision from Joe Biden.
What she’s got to do, first of all, is stop the bleeding, stop these questions about the emails. The best chance for that is at that Benghazi hearing on October 22nd.
Number two, try to figure out how to blunt the rise of Bernie Sanders: 20,000 PEOPLE in Massachusetts. There’s so much energy on the populous side of the Democratic Party right now.
In some ways, Joe Biden getting in could actually help her on that score. She could actually run to the right of Bernie Sanders a little bit but to the left of Joe Biden, putting her in a bit of a sweet spot, but that is not something the Clinton campaign wants right now.
