OK, don't despair over the dinner. Alec Baldwin is available that night!

[NotThisTime]

I mean seriously it would be the funniest dinner ever...

[oldtime dfl_er]

1. From your keyboard

to God's ears! (if she's still listening)

[DURHAM D]

2. The only other person who matters is Maria Bartiromo.

[bunnies]

6. Omg.

[tavernier]

18. And her musical breasts!

Always a crowd pleaser!

[monmouth4]

3. I see where the don says he is not attending. Everyone's schedule just opened up..nt

[malaise]

4. That would be perfect

Who will play Invanka?

[Vinca]

5. That would be amazing. And hilarious.

[malaise]

8. The only reason he's not attending is because

everyone is already pulling out - he can see a boycott coming

[Vinca]

9. He's such an asshole that after everyone shows up because he isn't there, he'll appear.

[malaise]

11. A guy on CNN just said he knows he would not have been well received

and following Obama would be hard

[Vinca]

13. That's an understatement. Wish they'd ask Obama back for the gig.

[tavernier]

19. In the spirit of burlesque,

He would never be hard as Obama

[malaise]

21. Hahahahaahhaha

[tavernier]

23. I only meant

A good President is hard to find.

[malaise]

25. Hahahahhaha -both are true

and Groper Don the Con is clearly an abysmal failure at both

[bluedigger]

24. He sucked pretty bad at that thing in NYC.

And he knows it.

[C_U_L8R]

28. Trump can't do self-effacing humor

The narcissist in him just can't.

[NotThisTime]

16. Not if the Alt-President is sitting there, who's to say he's invited anyway, this is the Alt yearLOL

[bunnies]

7. Imagine the ratings!!!

Oh please make it so!

[SoCalDem]

10. That would be amazing.. the "alt-president"

[bunnies]

12. Perfect!!!

[malaise]

14. DUzy

[NotThisTime]

15. Everybody tweet @AlecBaldwin :)

Seriously this could be the funniest night ever. Let's look for the positives

[Sebasdad22]

17. Do It Alec!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Call his agent NOW!!!!

[George II]

20. Wouldn't that be great? I'll bet the correspondents have already started meeting to figure out....

....the best way to roast trump, and I wouldn't doubt that Baldwin's name comes up frequently.

[QED]

22. Trumplethinskin can't take the heat. n/t

[TygrBright]

26. I hope Jeff Mason reads DU.

Mr. Mason is the current chair of the WHCA board. He's on Twitter as @JeffMason1.

Hopefully someone.... ::looks around, casually, whistling innocently:: ...will pass along this suggestion.

evilly,
Bright

[Doreen]

27. I do not know how but there must be someone here

who knows how to tweet him, or email him, or text him, or connect to SNL channel and suggest it to him. Maybe he can. There has got to be someone at that dinner who likes him and would want to get him in.

[Danascot]

29. It's gotten a lot of play on Twitter

so he and his people are certainly aware people are clamoring for this to happen. Let's hope they decide to go ahead. It would be epic.

[question everything]

30. The foreign correspondents?

Will it take place? I may have missed the recent news..

[NotThisTime]

31. Yes, they have already confirmed it will go on... Everybody get on twitter!

[question everything]

32. Thanks. The only twits at home or the birds outside

[Liberal In Texas]

33. It's the White House Correspondents Dinner. n/t
