Or was she subtly slammed by McKinnon?

Hillary Clinton unleashed a pretty accurate impression of Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump during a Saturday Night Live skit created to help her show she’s not as stiff or as tough to like as a few voters say.
Like finding out how Hillary Clinton officially stands on armpit hair.
Check out Clinton having a hilarious chat with her doppelganger in the video above.
“When Clinton was asked to take one favorite role out of Poehler and Mckinnon she replied that “I Like Them both”.
“You give off such a young, cool vibe”, Val says to McKinnon’s Clinton.
From there the skit poked gentle fun at Clinton’s slow opposition to the pipeline, her late-arriving support of gay marriage, and her inability to take a vacation.
In the sketch, Clinton briefly impersonates Donald Trump – “Uh, you’re all losers” – and joins in with the skewering of her own reputation for overt ambition and robotic campaigning. This is an extended dialogue sequence where McKinnon tries to drink her troubles away while her helpful bartender Val offers words of encouragement. Mocking Trump’s arrogant quotes, Killam starts by saying he is “almost certainly your next president”.
And it wouldn’t be a Trump bit without a Megyn Kelly joke.
But maybe the whole thing felt too forced to you-like Clinton has a whole team of people behind her giving her annotated notes on how to appear more accessible and honest (something which is nearly certainly true, for better or worse). In his opinion, Darrell Hammond’s take on Al Gore was the show’s single most impactful political sketch. “Clearly, I don’t hate immigrants”, he said.
“Oh, thanks. That’s the first time I’ve ever heard that”, Clinton responded. “I didn’t go to Hogwarts School of Business”.

Another favorite sketch was about sorority sisters who woke up after being unconscious for a number of months after a vehicle accident.
