Clinton roasts Trump at charity dinner - with a flamethrower

 
 
 
Hillary Clinton (well... her scriptwriter) said:
Maybe you saw Donald dismantle his prompter the other day, and I get that. They're hard to keep up with, and I'm sure it's even harder when you're translating from the original Russian.

:D

What I found interesting was the complete lack of makeup and we see how both of these people actually look.
 
The Skidmark was absolutely surreal at the Al Smith bash -- this is a man living completely in his own bubble. "There she is, trying to pretend she doesn't hate Catholics"??????????????? Just imagine the snickering campaign hacks, selling this line to Trump -- "This is so edgy, you will slay with this!" So tone deaf -- this line would slay at the WalMart checkout, yes, or at the rallies his yokels flock to, or a gun show in Tupelo, Mississippi. White tie dinner in Manhattan? Not so much. Trump at the dinner: "I'm not sure if they're booing me or her." Loud bellows from the crowd: "YOU!!"
 
Snort! Guffaw! Trump certainly looked presidential! I am sure this helped his campaign. A lot. We only have 17 days for Trump to embarrass himself to a big loss. The question is, how bad will the GOP congress take a hit November 8th?
 
Apparently there were people talking at a podium last night. All I remember is Maria Bartiromo's cleavage.

She was great at bringing the left and the right together.
 
Trump's writers were pretty good, considering what paltry material they had to work with if they wanted to break from the self-deprecation tradition. I did like the proof-of-bias joke "Michelle Obama gives a speech and everyone raves about it. But Melania gives the exact same speech, and people are all on her case about it!" (paraphrased from memory).

The real stark contrast between the candidates was the way Trump was reading haltingly from a sheet with his head down like third grader the whole time, while Clinton's delivery looked relatively spontaneous, as she only glanced down at her notes. There's a reason Trump doesn't "have time to read many books" - it would probably take him a week to wade through a Dr. Suess epic.
 
Take comedy out of a roast and all you have are insults. The man has no sense of comedic timing at all, the last few minutes of his speech were silent except for the booing, it was painful.

Did he have any self-deprecating jokes at all? He's so thin skinned. She laughed at his, but Hillary got a few good ones in where everybody was laughing and Trump was sitting there like this:

Ya, that was pretty good. His one where he said Clinton accidentally bumped into him before the debate and said "Pardon me!" was funny too. He does not, however, know where to draw the line between funny and nasty.

The Catholic line was based on something from Wikileaks, but it misses the mark because that was other people talking about Catholics not Clinton.

He was playing to the Breitbart crowd not the room, many of his jokes were based on their peculiar tinfoil obsessions about Clinton. He's not trying to win, he's just doing fan service from here on out.

Other than a Melania-deprecating one, I don't remember any. And self deprecation is the key ingredient to pulling off one of these routines, it cushions the barbs.

A lot of people are saying they were too rough on each other, but I think it was mostly in line with past dinners of these I've seen.

I think the biggest loser at the event was Rudi Giuliani, who sat there sourpussed when Clinton made a couple of mild jokes at his expense. He looked like Trump did during the Correspondents Dinner where Obama made jokes about Trump (this was the night of the bin Laden raid). They're both just loudmouthed toughguy posers.
