Tom Dobbs = Donald Trump (same initials)

Citizens United = Kellogg and Mills (named for corporte giants) representing politics as usual big money, same old b.s.

Blond debate 'moderator' = Megyn Kelly (although I thought they were going more for Diane Sawyer in the movie, oh well).

Senator Kellogg's Hair = Donald Trump's Hair

The entire debate meltdown and post-debate analysis is very similar to what happened on Fox News Channel with the 10 candidates, including Donald Trump, the one doing all the provoking ala Tom Dobbs.

Of course, all the references to how we get our news today...from comedians...

This movie was made 10 years ago, it's scary how much seemed ridiculous then has actually come to pass.

Funny, I'm watching it now for the first time and I was thinking along the same lines.

Even funnier now that Trump is the President.
