This episode doesn't feature any clips. The only ones I felt compelled to play were related to the continuing onslaught of Trump horrors and I decided to spare you the suffering in what is supposed to be a joyous happy holiday episode. If I had put on a clip, it might have been from Seth Meyer's great analysis of the Carrier "deal" or The Daily Show's Jordan Klepper visitting a Tump post-campaign campaign rally.

This episode features a clip from HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher where Bill chastises liberals who talk about being unwilling to support the lesser of two liberal candidates because one isn't sufficiently pure. As a life-long Bernie supporter who loves Ralph Nader, I can relate to both sides, but I 100% agree with Bill here. Hillary's going to be just fine if enough people don't let perfect be the enemy of the good.

I don't normally put such long clips on, but this is something I'm particularly interested in, and I couldn't get it any shorter. Also, while the clip is long it is nevertheless significantly edited down. So if you're interested, listen to the whole interview.
