Perhaps it's time for Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton to embrace her unlikability. Donald Trump seems to have learned how to harness his long ago. That's the advice that comic Michelle Wolf of The Daily Show has given the candidate.

What happened to the no-nonsense woman who was kicking butt and seemingly not caring what the world thought? She's gotten stuck behind a giant email scandal and fluctuating poll numbers that, at some moments over the past month, have given Trump a slight edge. Wolf's solution? Clinton needs to stop trying to cultivate an appealing personality, and just be a boss. Take a look at Punchlines, above, to see how Wolf equates her own dislike of Trevor Noah's accent with the country's love-hate relationship with Clinton.

And Bill Maher gives us a primer on socialism while Seth Meyers solves an airline mystery.
