Hillary Clinton takes a page from Love Actually to woo a GOP elector on SNL

Kate McKinnon as Hillary Clinton for SNL

The Electoral College will vote this Monday, and Saturday Night Live's Hillary Clinton (Kate McKinnon) is taking a page from 2003's Christmas-themed romantic comedy Love Actually to woo a Republican elector (Cecily Strong) away from supporting Donald Trump.

Where the movie's original scene saw The Walking Dead's Andrew Lincoln tell Keira Knightley he loves her using a series of cue cards, Clinton had a more serious message. "I know you're an elector," Clinton's cards say, and "you're supposed to vote for Donald Trump. But bish...he cray." Watch the full skit below. Bonnie Kristian
