US Presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have shared hot rivalry, even hurling insults at each other. This is why Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan, who hosted the Al Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner in New York City asked the two to pray before appearing before the crowd.
Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan appeared on Today last Friday morning and revealed revealed that after he asked the two candidates to join a group prayer before appearing before the crowd, Trump turned to Clinton and said, “You know, you are one tough and talented woman. This has been a good experience, this whole campaign, as tough as it was.”
Clinton who seemed to appreciate Trump’s kind words responded by saying, “And Donald, whatever happens, we need to work together afterwards.”
Dolan admitted that he was apprehensive about the evening because of the “iciness” between the two candidates, so he was glad they prayed first.
Trump would later go into the debate and make a mockery of Clinton’s faith but the booing crowd was an indicator of what is acceptable and what is not.
Despite the unfortunate incident for Trump, Dolan said “there were some very touching moments” between the two candidates when they were out of the public eye.
