Does anyone know if there are lots of speeches before the two candidates and if so when do the candidates typically speak?
Where was Bill Clinton? Interesting!!!
CNN not happy.

Donald Trump on Thursday night eschewed decades of tradition by offering a tough takedown of Hillary Clinton at the Al Smith dinner, and his remarks notably lacked self-deprecating humor.
In doing so, Trump missed an opportunity to take some of the heat off his campaign as it struggles through the final weeks of the race.
He opened with some more light-hearted remarks, referencing his “beautiful hands” and joking about how his crowds at rallies dwarf Clinton’s.
“It’s great to be here with 1,000 wonderful people. Or, as I call it, a small, intimate dinner with some friends. Or as Hillary calls it, her largest crowd of the season,” Trump said, to which Clinton laughed.
But the mood turned dour when Trump began to directly take on Clinton.
He said Clinton wants him to be her ambassador to Iraq or Afghanistan — “it’s my choice.”
Trump made reference to calling Clinton a “nasty woman” in Wednesday nights’ presidential debate — and compared his feelings about Clinton to his years-old beef with Rosie O’Donnell.
“After listening to Hillary rattle on and on and on, I don’t think so badly of Rosie O’Donnell anymore. In fact, I’m actually starting to like Rosie a lot,” he said.
After it was over, Hillary hung around clearing enjoying and talking to people. Katie Curic was jumping up and down like a school girl. For a while when she was talking to Kissenger, it sounded like she was getting picked up on a hot mic. There were so many other sounds as well, but I wonder if her voice could be isolated.
Ping for later
