Is there one of HILLARY leaving the Last Presidential Debate?

[dragnet2]

[shotgun]

I thought he was a lot funnier than Obama.

First catholic candidate for President. Wonder if Hitlery will be yucking it up with any catholic jokes.

What do you mean first catholic candidate?

[Fiddlstix]

Repost

Old Gov. Al was well known for his opposition to prohibition. I wonder if sHillary will show up sloshed (or at least tipsy) to celebrate the occasion?
LOL!

[Pilgrim's Progress]

I have doubts that Trump is a comedic-speaker. I doubt that he would be able to refrain from further attacks on Hillary. Now I would not mind it if a candidate actually used his time to the truth rather than try to get yucks which he probably won’t get anyway as everyone will be sitting on their hands.

There’s a Twitter feed just for this:

Should be interesting.

I can't believe that you have NEVER heard of Alfred E. Smith. He was the FIRST Catholic to ever run for president and a dinner, in his name, is held as a fundraiser every 4 years, to honor him and raise money for St. Pat's Cathedral, in NYC. It has been televised,for many decades, or had clips from it shown.

Alfred E. Neuman, from Mad, was taken from a huge sign that was at the original Coney Island fun park, when it was a glamorous destination/playland, at the turn of the 19th, into 20pth century.

History...why doesn't anyone know much of it? *sigh*

Ahead of Al Smith Dinner, Cardinal Dolan says Hillary owes Catholics an apology

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/cardinal-dolan-clinton-owes-catholics-an-apology

[nopardons]

WHY ?

You really want him to snub Catholics, Cardinal Dolan, with whom he is friendly, and lose votes in NYC?

[DannyTN]

Well I’m not catholic. Heck I don’t even know who was the first Baptist to run. Hope it wasn’t Carter.

[nopardons]

No way...it is usually a "roast" of the other candidate.

OTOH, Hillary HATES Catholics. But then, she also HATES Jews, blacks, and everyone else who doesn't have her own views.

[nopardons]

It's AMERICAN POLITICAL HISTORY...for crying out loud.

It's IMPORTANT to know! :-)

[Daffynition]

Other signs...different times. :)

Al Smith Dinner Bound to Be Especially Awkward for Clinton, Trump

Don’t worry. House rules, no political speeches.

[Shady]

Al Smith ran for President when he was Governor of Gnu Yak, This is a huge fundraiser for NYC Catholic Charities, White tie, and is generally an affable event with the intent to poke jabs at politicians. With Hillary and Andrew Cuomo attending (and speaking) It should carry an X rating.

[sockhead]

Or were you referring to Alfred Smith, the first Catholic candidate?

[DoodleDawg]

Don’t worry. House rules, no political speeches.

How would they stop him or her? The candidates usually use a lot of self-deprecating humor and we have two people who are incapable of that.
