as long as its fair and is in response to something a candidate actually did or said. And in the context of a primary season, humor is a perfectly valid and effective means to criticize an opponent, as well.
While I understand the desire to have nothing but polite, positive candidate tributes, this is not an honorary dinner, it is a raucous political process we're engaged in here.
The United States has a long, long history of very fractious, very angry, very divisive primary seasons.
In the long run, they've served us well.
This one is very, very tame in comparison to many, and I see no sign that we won't come together afterwards, and unite behind our nominee, to defeat the real enemy: the party that opposes our best interests as a nation.
It's all part of the natural continuum of our country and the healthy rhythm of our process.
