Its hard to parody trumps voice since he already sounds ridiclous

Trumps verse was amazing, great bars and they still made him the person look like trash.
It is Frederick Douglass vs Thomas Jefferson all over again xD
I like how they copied but still subverted, like how
he slapped trump twice
once for each one

The
stop laughing, you have to beat his ass
Well he also
didn't rip into Hillary at all, but instead told her to hurry up and beat the Orange Fuck.
Well, he did tell her
that she wasn't really personable which is about the only plausibly negative thing one can say about Hillary's performances in these debates. I actually don't think it's that bad, but the truth is that she doesn't have the stage performance of Obama (not that I think that's a fair criticism, for several reasons, but I agree with the notion that she's a bit more stiff. Actually, I'd rather have her loosen up a bit like she did in the third performance where she just had it with Trump's shit and had her passion and authenticity shine through a bit).
But yeah, they're not playing into the 'both sides' thing at all, and I respect the fuck out of them for that.
As far as Lincoln not smacking both of them, it might be a 'don't hit a girl' thing which I typically suspect is the actual motive, but in this case, they have a REALLY good excuse to lay into Trump exclusively.

That's weird, what was he doing there?
Romney vs Obama wins even if only because it spawned the best spin off video from Epic Rap Battles : Epic Dance Battles of History : Obama vs Romney

They didn't really do that. They leaned pretty heavy on Obama's side, just unsatisfied in how much change he accomplished. Lincoln was basically their surrogate and he says "I wanna like you" to Obama.

This. He told Obama to fight harder for change.. and told Romney off. Donno how that equates to them both being bad.
How have I not seen this before. Golden.
My work has to do with security mostly at airports. Was in Washington DC at DCA airport for a few days and he was going through security. Shiny teeth.

Oh my God, I loved how Trump was losing even in his lyrics.
lol at the trumpfucks in the comments.
Not really, he's barely doing an impression there.

Hillary killed. hahaha!
I thought the Trump was better than most trump impressions, but you almost need someone with that accent to really nail it. Sort of like its almost impossible to hit a real Irish or Scottish accent even though people not from those regions try.
The best trump impression I have seen is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Poi5x0E2CM&index=11&list=PL3PE79JjVECk4hfdhlb-g1tGm0j0z_nlc
In this impression Lloyd hits some things- he squints like trump, but he doesn't hit trumps stumbling.
When trump talks he interrupts himself mid sentence many times with filler "its great", "and I'll tell you this", "and people call me up and congratulate me", and look at what happened this morning""tjina". Its hard to nail.
Even South Park decided to depict Mr. Garrison as Trump, because Trump is such an outragous person that characterizing a caricature is very difficult. I think that is why we've seen so many great comedians fail to impersonate him well. Both in stand up, on comedy shows and just in day-to-day. I've tried as well, and I can't do it.
For all intents of purposes I think Bernie Sanders is just as difficult. the way he yells and flails his arms with that NYC accent is very difficult to hit. Vox actually had a interesting video about Sanders way of speaking ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waeXBCUkuL8 )

Not really, he was just being Peter, barely doing an impression. The Trump from this video had the gestures and the sliminess down, he just didn't have the voice, which is rare for any Trump impressionist. Honestly, he reminds me of the Darrell Hammond Trump impression from SNL, it's the subdued creepy Trump, not the loud angry one.
The Trump from the Scrooge video is massively overrated. Nothing about it really feels like Trump unless some dude yelling is all you have to do to replicate him.
Yeah, this video didn't nail the voice, though I think it's almost impossible to nail because of how ridiculous Trump's voice is to begin with - the original thing is so absurd that any parodies just come off as cheap caricatures, but the mannerisms and lyrics are spot on.

There ones they have done recently have been among their very best. Alexander The Great vs Ivan the Terrible is probably the best one they have ever done.

Trump's verse was great lmao.
"How do I say this.... You're a two." It made me bust out laughing.
I always love when they use the batman-esque flow.
