[grossproffit]

[tblue37]

60. He can barely read. nt

[Coyotl]

194. Here's the full video, speeches start after first hour. Skip watching plutocrats eat.

[tblue37]

75. Oh, boy--the exact same speech. That is a great joke! nt

[tblue37]

148. Wow. He has actually been laughing at some of the jokes against him.

He is handling these jokes way better than he handled the Obama and Myers jokes about him at the WH Correspondents Dinner.

[randome]

155. He can't hide at a small table in a darkened area like before.

But I'm sure it's killing him.
[hr][font color="blue"][center]A 90% chance of rain means the same as a 10% chance:

[Coyotl]

205. Her looked stiffer than Romney did.

Small wonder his doc is a proctologist

[tblue37]

161. Shook hands with Hillary. nt

[tblue37]

168. Did you see Giuliani's face when she slammed him? He looked the way Donald looked at the

WH Correspondents DInner when the jokes were about him.

If looks could kill, Hillary would have been laid low by the laser beams he was shooting at her out of his eyes.

[Roland99]

134. Streaming Cubs on Fox Sports app.

there's always firstrowsports, too

[mucifer]

145. But you need cable tv to do that don't you?

[Roland99]

150. oh...perhaps so. have an "out" for that

sorry...forgot about that

[mucifer]

152. at least my Cubbies are winning for now . I am turning Pat and Ron back on the radio

now that Hillary is done

[Roland99]

159. Be nice for another blowout inning like last night!

[Cakes488]

171. Met fan here but I'm hoping for the Cubs win!!!

[Roland99]

191. '!!!!!!

[Maru Kitteh]

2. Anybody notice how effed up the back of his hair is tonight?

It's like he had a rough night or something

[msanthrope]

5. "DUCK's ASS" cut according to my SIL. Nt

[enough]

7. That's what we called it back in high school in the 50's. (nt)

[elleng]

97. I had one, in highschool! Didn't notice his,

but did notice one on HRC at one of her presentations. I was jealous!

[Coyotl]

195. We had a duck's ass guy in school in the 60s, a late holdout. The Beatles ended that shit.

[Cha]

15. lol

[madamesilverspurs]

8. How come...?

How come you've already seen that when the video link says it hasn't started yet?


.

[OKNancy]

12. I'm watching on an abc link someone posted here earlier

http://abcnews.go.com/Live?stream=1&cid=abcnp_tco

[madamesilverspurs]

14. Thanks!

[Rose Siding]

23. Don and Mel are sitting there pretty stone faced

He's pretending to read something. People keep coming up to HRC and Cardinal Dolan to talk and shake hands.

The Trumps don't seem to be enjoying themselves. Sad

[greatauntoftriplets]

9. Bed head from his afternoon nap?

[herding cats]

10. The thing on his head is trying to escape.

Poor critter has also had all of this freak show it can stand.

Seriously though, it kinda looks like you can see his bald spot peeking out in that pick.

[Siwsan]

11. Maybe his hair piece is trying to make a break for it.

[Maru Kitteh]

13. As any perfectly good weasel would.

[displacedtexan]

16. It's obviously bedhead. He's soooo low energy. Probably very ill.

I'm sure he had to be helped out of the car.

How does it feel, Trump? You fucking waste of space!

[sheshe2]

29. He is sporting his man pony tail.

[KewlKat]

40. his horns are showing

[msanthrope]

17. I don't know what to drink. Just know that I am. nt

[Rose Siding]

18. I must say, the candidate looks very presidential in a dress

[msanthrope]

20. She has this. nt

[senseandsensibility]

19. Never mind.

I saw the photos above.

[nini]

21. Trump looks bored to death

He has no clue how to play the game does he?

[msanthrope]

22. It's not about him. So, bored. Bigly. nt

[grossproffit]

41. He looks nervous. Trump doesn't do fun.

[klook]

116. For him "fun" is a zero-sum game.

Someone else must be humiliated, belittled, or abused for him to experience "fun."

[grossproffit]

201. You nailed it before it began. He's a man without honor.

[a kennedy]

24. ha ha.....what MSNBC woman is behind tRump drinking??? ha ha.....that really doesn't look good. eom

[a kennedy]

26. and not saying they can't drink, but it just doesn't look good.

and hey, I love my alcohol.

[LisaM]

173. These are Catholics!

We drink at these things!

[msanthrope]

25. Just showed the consigliere, Giuliani, bending over Trump. nt

[a kennedy]

28. saw that, and wanted to hurl.......eom

[msanthrope]

30. His crime family is in prison. Don't worry. nt

[msanthrope]

27. Now Trump is looking at Twitter,,,,with Melania,,,,SAD,,,,,nt

[canetoad]

31. Is this right?

The dinner guests, sitting along one side of their tiered long tables are sort of the evening's entertainment?

Looks sort of Versailles.

[msanthrope]

32. This is CATHOLIC NERD PROM!!! nt

[Siwsan]

33. As usual, Hillary is engaging with everyone. Trump just with Melania

He is probably putting the final touches on his routine.

[senseandsensibility]

34. Is Bill attending?

I see Melania.

[msanthrope]

35. No. Don't think so, nt

[msanthrope]

36. Introductions. nt

[charlie and algernon]

37. This could be the most passive agressive Al Smith Dinner in history

[msanthrope]

38. Al Smith 4th.....ill and being funny. nt

[msanthrope]

39. Truly ill....and doing his best and being even-handed. nt

[Rose Siding]

47. Trump does not like humor at his expense

It shows all over with his fake, tight little smile -the same one from when Pres Obama roasted him.

[randome]

42. You can see that Trump is much more relaxed in a crowd. He simply can't handle one-on-one.

[hr][font color="blue"][center]A 90% chance of rain means the same as a 10% chance:
It might rain and it might not.[/center][/font][hr]

[msanthrope]

46. He's trying to keep it together. nt

[msanthrope]

43. Donald, lookind plastered and lifeless,,,,nt

[KewlKat]

44. he touched her back as he walked by>>>>>>>>>>

[elleng]

45. Catholic Church, not the only tax exempt organization in NY!

[mucifer]

48. such an ass!

[ecstatic]

49. No Donald, it's not because you ran as a republican, it's because

you outed yourself as a disgusting bigoted racist.

[msanthrope]

50. Trump just lost this....it's bittersweet for him. nt

[ecstatic]

51. It's interesting to see him show evidence of being somewhat self aware.

I don't get him.

[msanthrope]

54. He's just reading stuff. nnt

[herding cats]

57. Which he said was "corney stuff"

He's not into what he's having to say.

[Rose Siding]

52. OMG - He doesn't get it!

Either that or he just has no sense of humor. His only joke was at HER expense

[greatauntoftriplets]

56. And she has the class to laugh at some of his lame, ghost-written jokes.

[randome]

59. Sounds like Meredith McIver wrote his material.

[hr][font color="blue"][center]A 90% chance of rain means the same as a 10% chance:
It might rain and it might not.[/center][/font][hr]

[greatauntoftriplets]

69. He certainly didn't write it!

He can barely look up from whatever he's reading it from.

[meow2u3]

58. The audience just booed him

for his "humor" at Hillary's expense.

[Rose Siding]

68. The guys behind him aren't laughing at the jokes about HRC

[Maru Kitteh]

53. Who is that TACKY woman in the red behind him?

She keeps tugging on her cleavage

Taking her gloves on and off to text

Held her iPhone up on the back of his head

Taking her glasses on and off

All she's missing is a big wad of gum to chew

[randome]

55. She's Trump's KGB handler.

[hr][font color="blue"][center]A 90% chance of rain means the same as a 10% chance:
It might rain and it might not.[/center][/font][hr]

[bettyellen]

190. LOL

[grossproffit]

63. Maria Bartiromo

[Danmel]

66. Seriously

This is a Catholic event. Show a little class.

Trump is so clueless.

[LeftInTX]

78. Her earrings are stunning

But, my husband didn't notice them - LOL

[procon]

103. I was wondering the same thing.

She can't stop fidgeting. Any minute now I expect her to lean over and do a couple of lines.

[ecstatic]

61. ok he's getting a few nice digs in

First the "laugh at the appropriate time" crack, now the "pardon me" crack. But wait, isn't he supposed to be making fun of himself?!

[msanthrope]

62. OMFG..she's makes his jokes for him...nt

[rurallib]

64. Man, Trump is an asshole

mean spirited jokes

[HipChick]

65. His delivery sucks...

[msanthrope]

67. Trump is medicated....nt

[randome]

70. That was a good one about Melania's speech.

[hr][font color="blue"][center]A 90% chance of rain means the same as a 10% chance:
It might rain and it might not.[/center][/font][hr]

[ecstatic]

71. Wow, so he couldn't embarrass himself so instead opted to embarrass Melania? nt

[Auggie]

72. I hate this

[msanthrope]

73. He knows he lost. nt

[Danmel]

76. They are booing him

He is suck a dick

[3catwoman3]

188. Interesting...

...typo -

[Coyotl]

77. The president told me to stop whining... Michele Obama gives a speech ...

He really has trouble reading.

[bettyellen]

79. Holy shit he is being a big asshole and everyone hates him for it. Good.

[randome]

80. And now he's back to extreme lameness and booing from the audience.

[hr][font color="blue"][center]A 90% chance of rain means the same as a 10% chance:
It might rain and it might not.[/center][/font][hr]

[Agnosticsherbet]

81. Trump is a tasteless ass.

[charlie and algernon]

82. getting heckled!

[Johnny2X2X]

83. Trump is an ass

He turned it into a campaign spot. Funny at the start, terrible and against the spirit of this event.

[treestar]

204. Exactly as usual he does not do what is required

He is supposed to poke fun. So not only does he fail there, he continues with material that does not fit the bill

[ecstatic]

84. Can someone get his ass off the stage already? This is NOT what he

was invited for.

[HipChick]

85. He's getting boo'd..

[KewlKat]

86. this isn't funny

[yuiyoshida]

197. I found myself wincing

>__<

[randome]

87. What the fuck? He's embarrassing the hell out of himself and doesn't understand.

[hr][font color="blue"][center]A 90% chance of rain means the same as a 10% chance:
It might rain and it might not.[/center][/font][hr]

[elleng]

88. Getting booed, as he should. Smart crowd.

[alcibiades_mystery]

89. Somebody get the hook...this dude's bombing

So embarrassing.

[greatauntoftriplets]

90. I'd love to know what Cardinal Dolan and Hillary just said to each other.

[grossproffit]

108. This too shall pass?

[Coyotl]

91. Wow, Trump is getting booooed again if force. Such an ass. Loud boooos again. Again. Again.

[Cha]

99. Cool! they can Boo @ the Al Smith Dinner!

This is freaking Priceless!

[sheshe2]

92. Class act Donnie.

Hill emails Wiki.

Fuck him on his attacks!

[Johnny2X2X]

93. He's an ass

He got heckled because he turned it into a campaign rally. That was disgusting.

[nolabear]

94. Holy crap...this is stunningly crass. He can't not be an ass.

[msanthrope]

96. he was, nt

[panader0]

160. Reading through the replies after watching,

I find "stunningly crass" the best description so far...
I was astounded.

[Tess49]

95. What the hell is wrong with him? Disrupting a charity event to spew his garbage?

Insulting everyone. Getting booed. What a complete fucking ass.

[Rose Siding]

113. Everyone looks so relieved that it's her turn!

[Tess49]

141. I know I was!

[herding cats]

98. Wow, he is mean, nasty and terrible tonight.

Totally unfunny, and made a fool of himself.

Bigly, bad performance for him tonight.

[tavernier]

100. Watch him interrupt her jokes

[Coyotl]

114. LOL.

[Coyotl]

101. And he gets booooed again for being such an yuuuge asshole. He just ruined the whole event.

One more self-humiliation for Trump.

[spiderpig]

102. He just doesn't get it, does he?

Gentle ribbing = hateful social and political barbs.

Dawg, he makes me

[Small Accumulates]

104. So many sweaty religious folks

Cognitive dissonance. It calls forth the sweat.

[randome]

109. Probably hot lights combined with tons of skin toner. They're melting!

[hr][font color="blue"][center]A 90% chance of rain means the same as a 10% chance:
It might rain and it might not.[/center][/font][hr]

[KewlKat]

105. was this supposed to be political? I thought it was supposed to be a roast or funny.

[Grown2Hate]

106. He started off pretty well; not too mean spirited. Then he veered off a CLIFF... kinda like his

campaign, he's now completely on fire.

[gademocrat7]

107. Despicable

That was so painful. What a disgusting jerk!

[csziggy]

110. I turned my sound off for Trump's speech but the body language tells it all

The people around him and in the random shots are upset and unhappy. Trump has now lost the New York elite.

Hillary was laughing - but I think she was laughing more at Trump digging himself a deeper hole than at anything he said.

My opinion without hearing a word of his speech.

[meow2u3]

111. I couldn't listen to tRump anymore!

My cats were getting agitated, so I muted the sound.

[SummerSnow]

112. He definitely didn't want to be there.

[elleng]

115. Took a break . . .

[meow2u3]

117. Hill just gave a shout-out to Al Smith

for his tireless work for the kids in NYC.

[randome]

118. So you turned the sound back on?

I'm sure your cats are more amenable to Clinton's confident, easy-going tone.
[hr][font color="blue"][center]A 90% chance of rain means the same as a 10% chance:
It might rain and it might not.[/center][/font][hr]

[meow2u3]

120. Yeeessss!

She just referred to the guests as a "basket of adorables."

[randome]

122. And that was an adorable joke, too!

[hr][font color="blue"][center]A 90% chance of rain means the same as a 10% chance:
It might rain and it might not.[/center][/font][hr]

[Cha]

131. Awesome! thank you meow~

[Johnny2X2X]

119. She is pure class.

Just a totally good person.

[randome]

121. It is as it has always been: Democrats have a better sense of humor than Conservatives.

[hr][font color="blue"][center]A 90% chance of rain means the same as a 10% chance:
It might rain and it might not.[/center][/font][hr]

[msanthrope]

123. Oh my jeebus,,,,,,she is great.....nt

[Johnny2X2X]

124. Hillary has way more class

Different level of person.

[Coyotl]

125. The Plutocrats are a basket full of adorables. Hillary

"After listening to your speech, I will enjoy Mike Pence denying you ever gave it."

[Cha]

129. Really?! Hahahaha!

[Island Blue]

126. Trump is feeling the burn. Ouch.

[Coyotl]

127. Mrs. Trump isn't laughing at her jokes. Republicans are now called "Hillary supporters."

[elleng]

128. HA! Rudy not laughing! Well worth the price!

[Dawson Leery]

130. +1

[bullwinkle428]

132. Douchebag McStinkeye!

[KewlKat]

133. ghooliani didn't like what she had to say.....no evidence of a smile.

[Coyotl]

135. Hillary is roasting Trump with a lot of class.

[sinkingfeeling]

136. I wish she'd not go after Trump.

[LonePirate]

137. Can someone confirm Hillary's epic burn of Trump?

Maggie Haberman
‏@maggieNYT

Clinton says she wishes Bloomberg was speaking so she could hear "what a billionaire has to say."

https://twitter.com/maggieNYT/status/789277586480369664

[randome]

139. She's laying down a lot more than that! But yes, she said that about Bloomberg.

[hr][font color="blue"][center]A 90% chance of rain means the same as a 10% chance:
It might rain and it might not.[/center][/font][hr]

[mcar]

157. She said it

She was excellent!

[wisteria]

138. Loved the Statue of Liberty joke.

As Donald knows her, a 4. Giuliani didn't get it.

[Coyotl]

140. Orange is turning very, very red. He doesn't like being toasted one bit.

[Fla Dem]

142. HRC knocking it out of the park!

[Johnny2X2X]

143. She is killing it

Just amazing and not mean spirited.

[a kennedy]

162. and OK, have been a yuuuuuuuuuge Bernie supporter......BUT AM NOW PROUDLY VOTING FOR

HER. and screw Dolan......saw him on faux noise this morning when working out at the gym. He was saying (as I was trying to read it running along the bottom of the screen as there is no sound), that Hillary should apologize to the catholics of what she said on the wikileaks. Ugh......got no time for that man. Catholic or not...... ugh.

[Coyotl]

144. Guess who doesn't have any sense of humor at the #AlSmithDinner?

Matt Wilstein ‏@TheMattWilstein 9 minutes ago
Guess who doesn't have any sense of humor at the #AlSmithDinner?

[herding cats]

146. She's been so amazing tonight.

A perfect contrast of presidential vs. Trump.

Beautiful!

[Coyotl]

147. Melania looks like she'd rather be ANYWHERE else in the world right now.

Philip Lewis ‏@Phil_Lewis_ 43 minutes ago
Melania looks like she'd rather be ANYWHERE else in the world right now.

[randome]

151. That's her only expression.

[hr][font color="blue"][center]A 90% chance of rain means the same as a 10% chance:
It might rain and it might not.[/center][/font][hr]

[DesertRat]

169. She looked MISERABLE the whole time.

[uponit7771]

149. Who is the one in the red dress !!!?!? Why would she wear something like that to an even like this?!

Come on man...

[randome]

164. Maria Bartiromo from CNBC, supposedly.

[hr][font color="blue"][center]A 90% chance of rain means the same as a 10% chance:

[uponit7771]

176. K, looking at it again on replays ... do you think the guy in front of her was trying to hide the...

... "show".

He kept leaning over to hide things, I didn't them at first till he moved his head but he was leaning far over.

Not the right attire for the event

[TexasBushwhacker]

182. She's on Fox now n/t

[msanthrope]

153. Hey Dolan.....Fuck you. nt

[a kennedy]

165. I hear ya misanthrope......

[merrifield]

154. Who is that ANNOYING women in red behind the speakers?

She must have taken her gloves off, put on her glassses and taken them off and tugged at her neckline a million times! She was texting half the time, too. so DISTRACTING!!!

[Coyotl]

167. Not that much of her was in red. It was a real boob show.

Very bad planning if they were trying not to throw Trump off his game.
Well, game might be the wrong word.

[Coyotl]

156. 1960

[Coyotl]

163. Sad news everyone, Rudy Guliani died about 10 minutes ago.

Paul McFreid ‏@I_Am_Here_Still
LOL!!! RT @andrewrbussiere: Sad news everyone, Rudy Guliani died about 10 minutes ago. #AlSmithDinner

[randome]

166. Again?

[Coyotl]

170. ^^ thread winner ^^

[OnDoutside]

200. My 3 belly laughs were for the Bloomberg, Guiliani, Conway jokes/zingers

[Zorro]

172. Kissinger!

[Rose Siding]

174. Trump lit out of there as soon as he could

HRC hung out and schmoozed, looked like she was in her element.

[Cha]

183. Like a bat outta hell.. 'cause it was for him. n/t

[Coyotl]

175. There has never been a more appalling speech at #AlSmithDinner than #realdonaldtrump Horrifying.

Fr Thomas Rowland ‏@FatherThomas 1 minute ago
There has never been a more appalling speech at #AlSmithDinner than #realdonaldtrump Horrifying. The crowd and Cardinal Dolan were aghast.

Maureen Johnson ‏@maureenjohnson 14 minutes ago
The #AlSmithDinner hero of the night.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

178. I believe the man with the horrified expression on his face

is Al Smith IV, the original Al Smith's grandson.

[Coyotl]

179. And that is probably the moment Trump says Hillary hates Catholics, when Trump's Dad

persecuted Al Smith for being a Catholic like no other racist back then.

[displacedtexan]

185. Where the F did that come from? Hating Catholics?

Like Tim Kaine and John Kerry?

Where did that "joke" come from, and why in holy hell did the Trumpsters think it was funny?

[bettyellen]

189. There's some discussion of them as a demographic in Podestas email- maybe being

A difficult sell or something. Nothing as horrible as how they are spinning it. Crazy.

[displacedtexan]

196. Thanks!

Of course, Little Donnie Dipstick had to turn it into something vile.

[Coyotl]

192. Al is sitting with Hillary and is the master of ceremony. Horn-rimmed style glasses.

So, we should figure out who the guy is. Gotta be on Twitter.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

193. Whoever it was, the expression on his face was priceless.

[FailureToCommunicate]

177. Hillary: "Sainthood for me...well, I'd be up against the highest stained glass ceiling."

[Simeon Salus]

180. Re teleprompters: Even harder to translate from the original Russian

https://www.c-span.org/video/?416979-1/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-deliver-remarks-al-smith-dinner&start=1935

She killed it.

[LAS14]

184. Pretty funny from both of them. Great serious wrap-up by Hillary.

[msanthrope]

198. I felt embarrassed for Dolan. I had to go lie down. nt

[a kennedy]

203. I didn't.....he was on faux noise saying Hillary should

apologize for her comments on catholics in the wikileaks e-mails. He's a loser. Ugh.......

[Cha]

199. When racist Trump said First Lady Michelle Obama's name. #AlSmithDinner
