NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Bitter presidential rivals Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have one more face-to-face showdown before Election Day. And they’re supposed to make it funny.

The venue just 24 hours after their third and final debate is the annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner in Manhattan, a white-tie gala that every four years becomes a showcase for presidential politics.

Tradition dictates that the candidates deliver humorous remarks poking fun at each other and themselves, a jovial custom that seems hard to envision amid such an ugly campaign.

Trump regularly calls Clinton, “Crooked Hillary,” mocks her stamina and says he’d put her in jail if he wins the presidency. Clinton says he lives in his own reality, is running a “hateful, divisive campaign” and lacks the temperament to be president.

1. annnnnhhhhhh

This is gonna get ugly.

[groundloop]

2. I can envision Hillary sticking with the spirit of the event, but most definitely NOT tRump

He just doesn't have it in him to stay out of the mud.

[zonkers]

3. I am worried about her security and safety. It's the only thing that

could mess things up now.

5. Has anyone ever heard Trump utter an actual, humorous comment?

His idea of "humor" is making smart remarks about his sexual conquests.

He is utterly devoid of the capacity to make a joke, especially anything self-deprecating. His ego is way too weak.

And Pence surely can't help him.

7. Just like a Conservative: they have a diminished sense of humor.

8. What I was thinking

I cannot imagine him delivering any light humor

[forgotmylogin]

9. "Yuumor"

10. I chuckled

When Hillary was going through the things that Trump claimed was rigged including the Emmys because, "The Apprentice," didn't win, and he interrupted with, "Should have gotten it." However, looking back after the moment had passed, it's just as likely that he was being serious as much as he was making a quick joke.

I, at one time, thought Trump had an okay sense of humor - when I was a naive teenager, watching a special episode of Saturday Night Live celebrating their 15th anniversary. It started out with Lorne Michaels trying to talk Chevy Chase out of doing a pratfall since he was too old. Chevy brushed him off and went through the audience, bumbling and almost tripping along the way, at one point "accidentally" dumping popcorn on Trump who laughed. As a teenager and a big fan of comedians, I believed that that was planned without Trump's knowledge, but I doubt it now.

13. I don 't think he smiled once

during the debate.

[KewlKat]

17. Yep I have

He says he's won debates and is leading in most polls.

Pretty effing funny to me........

[world wide wally]

6. I hope Trump is ready to get cut down worse than he was at his Roast

[mnhtnbb]

12. OMG. If Hillary is willing to deliver what the writers give her,

well, I just self-edited.

I hope she does it. I hope she really goes after him.

[NastyRiffraff]

14. Hillary has a WICKED sense of humor

according to her staff and people who know her well. She's known as a great mimic, too.

15. Hillary should ignore him, not mention his name. He craves attention.

Like ignoring a child's tantrum. The biggest insult to Trump is to act like he is irrelevant, a nobody.

There is no need to get into the mud with this guy. That is his home, his comfort zone.

Sometimes it is best to simply refuse to engage.

[bigtime]

16. I am interested to see

I am interested to see if he is able to poke fun at himself in the spirit of the event. I think he is way too insecure to do it. More likely to appear bitter and angry, that's his "brand".
