Trump speaks FIRST at the Al Smith dinner, tonight

Hmmm..... I'm not at all interested in what he has to say, but I am anxious as all get-out to hear Hillary.

It was pointed out on CNN that Trump likes to counter punch, so his speaking first puts him at a BIG disadvantage. No doubt he will complain that this is rigged, too.

Besides that, he's not intelligent and has no wit -- so here's betting his "jokes" will be bigly lame.

I liked the one about the pardon, the rest are just unfunny digs, delivered poorly.

I assume Hillary knows how this is supposed to be done, this f****** narcissist has no sense of humor at all.

He got a couple acceptable ones in early, but now it's just his campaign rally fodder, with a toned-down delivery.

...skills at all. I keep envisioning having someone off-stage with the giant hook grabbing him around the neck and yanking him off the dais. Thank goodness he is done.
