"SNIP.............

“Vice President Kamala Harris will not attend next month’s Al Smith charity dinner in New York City, her campaign has told organizers, opting instead to stump in a battleground state on October 17, less than three weeks before the election,” CNN reports.

“The historic Catholic fundraiser traditionally features light roasts by the two major-party nominees – aimed at one another and others – in presidential election years…”

Donald Trump stunned attendees in 2016 when he abandoned the collegial banter and launched a series of personal attacks on Hillary Clinton, who in her own remarks had offered the expected round of self-deprecating humor.”

Of course narcissist Trump can't do self effacing humor.

Trump ran over Hillary with a bulldozer in 1916 and Cardinal Dolan let him get away with it.

Why would this year be any different?

Trump was actually funny during the first half of his 2016 speech and the turned into Mr. Hyde.
