    Please limit comments to 150 words and keep them civil and relevant to the article at hand. Comments are closed after six days. Our primary goal is to create a safe and respectful space where a broad spectrum of voices can be heard. We welcome diverse viewpoints and encourage readers to engage critically with one another’s ideas, but never at the expense of civility. Disagreement is expected—even encouraged—but it must be expressed with care and consideration. Comments that take cheap shots, escalate conflict, or veer into ideological warfare detract from the constructive spirit we aim to cultivate.

    How is Donald Trump like a jack-o-lantern?
    They are both orange on the outside, hollow on the inside, and they both need to be tossed to the curb in a week!

    Wow!! They are all great and really creative and imaginative.

    Hard to pick one; but, went with Elizabeth.
    Had to vote for someone with same name as me.

    Loved Leda’s Trump joke.

    Told friend I was going to the parade. She asked where is your costume.

    Told her: I’m an attorney. That’s scary enough. I don’t need a costume.
