Smerconish: Harris Blew It By Not Attending Al Smith Dinner

HUNT: “Michael, what did you make of the dinner last night?”
SMERCONISH: “So, I’ve given props to the vice president already because of that Bret Baier interview. Now let me tell you that I think that she blew it by not being there. She should‘ve been there. Humor can be such an effective political tool. I thought that Donald Trump misread the room. I thought that he was undisciplined and mostly unfunny. That editing of what you just showed was very sympathetic to Trump because those were his absolute best lines. And in most other instances, he just missed the mark and it was cringeworthy and it was unnecessarily nasty. He blew an opportunity, as well, to come in, pay respect to the cardinal, be funny, keep it above board. He should have taking a page from Jim Gaffigan. Gaffigan was hysterical and set the right tone for a night like that.”
