OK, those of you in the back row who said she’s going to wear an orange jumpsuit with a number, please leave. We’re trying to have a serious discussion here. Besides, that’s what she wore last year.

Nope, the question came up Monday night at the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago, which according to the Chicago Tribune was “packed with nearly 4,000 Clinton fans who paid $90 or more to hear her promote her account of the 2016 election, “’What Happened.’”

Asked onstage … what costume she was planning to wear for Halloween, the vanquished Democratic presidential candidate appeared momentarily flummoxed.

“I have to start thinking about it,” she said. “I think I will maybe come as the president!”

Cue laughter and applause. …

What? No one had the presence of mind to let out a loud fart?

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

Seriously now, not one person found this pathetic? For cripe’s sake, the audience members were there to hear Clinton yammer on about why she should be president, which she has been doing incessantly since last Nov. 8.

For those trying to imagine what she would look like in a Trump costume, one Twitter user provided a police sketch:
