    Who's the best? Most resonance. Most Funny. Not necessarily the best impressionist but who nailed the character.

    Due to option constraints the following didnt make it but are honorable mentions
    Melissa McCarthy was the last one out.
    Others not making the cut, Chevy Chase as Ford.
    Everyone who did Reagan. Hartman did the best Reagan, but he's nominated twice. No one did Reagan well.
    Lovitz did a great Dukakis, not much to work with, but lack of longevity doomed him.
    Larry David as Bernie Sanders
    Will Ferrell as Janet Reno

    Aykroyd could still do a killer Trump, I think. Most of Fucko's Professional Asshole persona is pretty much a variation on ...

    No Kate McKinnon, even for honorable mention?

    Dennis Miller as Gary Hart. (Back in the days when the show was still watchable.)

    To me, the best impressionist did the best impression. Hammond as Clinton.

    It's an old and obscure one, but there was a political debate sketch years ago when Al Franken did an absolutely wonderful impression of Senator Paul Simon.
