The Al Smith Dinner isn't going anywhere.  For all of its perceived flaws and this and that, it raises a huge amount of money for NYC Catholic Charities - especially for services to children and families - and therefore provides for enormous good.  It is located in one of the richest cities in the entire world and there will always be an ample pot of cash for the occasion.  It will return to normalcy of political wit and banter once Trump is shoved out of the equation.  The event took on a terrible tone and content because of the nature of the current campaign.  It was never that way before DJT entered the ring and started to blindly swing his fists, devoid of decorum or understanding of the situation he was participating in.  See you all at the next Al Smith Dinner.
