The Al Smith Dinner is tomorrow night! It may be hard to believe that Clinton and Trump will be telling light hearted jokes after such a probably disgusting debate, but here we are. Who do you think will be funnier?

I think Clinton is predictable - she will deliver typical lines that will be reasonably well written. She isn't the funniest person in these settings so I'm guessing it will be pretty average for a politician doing these things.

Trump...he will probably be funny but more in a way where you laugh at him then with him. Tongue

Hillary has a sense of humor, I cant say the same for Trump or his hatred of SNL.

It's a lighthearted white tie event every election a few weeks before Election Day where both major candidates do some stand up, joke about politicians and their opponent, and poke fun at themselves.

Clinton is many orders of magnitude better at reading off a script someone wrote for her, so she'll probably do better.

I hope she makes jokes about his wealth and inheritance. Trump has incredibly thin skin in these matters. He even vetoed the topics from his snl roast

It is a big event in NY to which presidential candidates usually come. Big deal, actually. Especially if you think you might need Catholic vote.
