The question that comes to my mind is what kind of effect that this would have on the election in general, and if this political satire does a great deal of harm. A specific example of the trouble that political satire can have is what happened in Denmark and their political cartoon mishap. The truth of the matter is that political comedy can have a positive and negative effect on the way that the American public views the Presidential election and politics in general. I believe there are positives when it comes to political satire because it helps for some of the public, who might not normally be exposed to politics, to have a chance to see what is going on in the world. The other positive to political comedy is that fact that it allows for some comedic relief from a process that can be very demanding and sometimes frustrating, in the way that things are run and handled. Conversely, portraying politics in a comedic light can show that there is no respect for politics and that politics are taken in a joking and light manner.<br>Overall, I believe that your article gives an informative view on what is going on in the coverage of the Presidential election and the artistic manners which have been used to show some issues of the Democratic primary and the Presidential election that are sometimes shied away from.
