Alfred E. Smith Memorial Dinner Presidential nominees Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump deliver remarks at the annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner in New York City.
So just WHICH hellhole do YOU come from/live in, so that I can make snarky posts about your accent, etc. ?
And NOBODY says "gnu yak"..anywhere on the face of this planet, for NEW YORK !
Well ain't you "special".....NOT!

(I live just north of Albany.)
The Dinner, and it is an annual affair, raises much money for the Archdiocese to perform the corporal works of mercy. And even though demographics have changed the Cardinal Archbishop of the Archdiocese of New York is a political player and stakeholder in New York, state as well as city. For any major political invitee to snub the dinner would reverberate throughout the Catholic community here, and not to their benefit. Trump has been to this dinner often in the past. And why should he boycott now. It’s not like he is Catholic, or even religious. It’s a good time and Trump will have a good time as well, and probably give Dolan, whom I have met and like, a good donation.
Trump is funny, but obviously you don't really pay any attention to him and what he says.
He may come out A-OK, maybe not. The so called “jokes” are NOT funny
Trump and the Cardinal are friendly. They know each other well.
When Jesus was criticized for eating and drinking with sinners He was using those occasions to convert their hearts. From what I’ve seen of these dinners, the sinners seem to actually be celebrated. In any event, I just pray this event allows the Holy Spirit to work through Mr. Trump to proclaim His truth.
Trump WILL knock it out of the park.
Hillary has a lousy way of talking and can't tell a joke to save her soul ( if she even still has one ), so she'll probably get polite applause at best.
Oh give it up! This is NOT a “religious” nor even a Roman Catholic prayer and sermon dinner; it’s for LAUGHS and to raise money.

Ah, to be a fly on the wall and hear the off-mic commentary...
They totally dissed Obama’s brother at the debate, making him sit in the back. Can he sit at the head table tonight?
Did...now YOU have mail. :-)
I recall watching this with Obama and Romney and it was a good event - mostly telling jokes. Pretty funny.
Sorry, I can't make it out on my screen. :-(
