Val, played by the real Clinton, breaks down Clinton’s political career, and referenced many of the common criticisms of Hillary.

“I’m just an ordinary citizen who believes the Keystone Pipeline will destroy our environment,” Val tells Clinton, while smiling at the audience.

When McKinnon’s Clinton brings up that she has often taken her time to come to the right decision, Val gives Clinton some advice that the real Clinton hopes American voters take.

“Nothing wrong with taking your time, as long as you get it right,” Val jokes.

When Republican Presidential hopeful Donald Trump came up, Val gave her best Trump impression, capturing what would be the biggest laugh of the night.

“I wish you could be President!” McKinnon’s Clinton told Clinton’s Val, after hearing her advice.

“Me too!” the real Clinton responded.
