As Larry-David-As-Bernie-Sanders-inspired-with the aid of-Larry-David (or some thing?), David performed a neurotic presidential candidate who refuses to shake Leslie Jones’ “germ-infested” arms, receives into screaming fits with his marketing campaign group of workers (along with Cecily strong as a Susie Essman-esque staffer), runs faraway from an injured voter soliciting for he pop her shoulder back into its joint, and ultimately loses Iowa.
