Populism on both the left and the right have found their champions: Donald Trump and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who speak to the concerns of working and middle class Americans. Many people would love to see the two debate each other in a general election, but unfortunately that is very unlikely to happen in real life.
Comedy Central made Sanders and Trump supporters’ dreams come true, pitting the two against each other, with actors portraying the billionaire and the Vermont Senator at their most cartoonish.

The actor who played Sanders gave credit to his most important supporters.
“We’ve got some tremendous supporters, I’m backed and endorsed by one half of Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young which is also two-thirds of Crosby, Stills, & Nash,” said the Sanders impersonator. “We are winning among some key demographic groups that I think is important to keep in mind. Among voters who shop at Whole Foods, and yet, feel guilty about shopping at Whole Foods, we are winning 92 percent of the vote.”
“Among voters from households where the primary mode of transportation is a bicycle, we are winning 88 percent,” the actor continued. “And with voters under the age of 21 we are winning 120 percent of the vote and we will continue to win.”
The actor playing Trump interrupted to insult some of his fellow Republicans who he defeated in the primary process.
“I mean Jeb Bush, very low energy guy, very low energy guy,” the actor said. “He was the Terri Schiavo of presidential candidates I can tell you that, those eyes clicking back and forth. Someone put a needle in his neck.”
“And I’ll tell you this, Carly Fiorina will be the new White House horse, I’ll tell you that, I’ll tell you that,” the actor continued.
