Does anyone know if there are lots of speeches before the two candidates and if so when do the candidates typically speak?

My first thought too. But that’s Afred E. Neuman.

Kind of makes me wonder if there is a connection though?

Why would Trump waste his time doing this. All in the hell it is is a big party where the Archbishop of NYC can get drunk with pro-abortion politicians. Pro-lifers shouldn’t be caught dead attending it.Dolan is an embarrasment to the Catholic Church.

Alfred Smith was the former governor of New York back in the 1920’s, rival of FDR. This is the annual foundation dinner to raise money for Catholic Charities. One of the elite events to go to. Anyone and everyone in New York Politics, including the Catholic Cardinal of New York will be there.

The remarks by Hillary and Trump will be biting and scathing, along with funny. Tradition always has the Smith dinner invite the Presidential Candidates.

Trump will wipe the floor with her.He can tell good jokes, she can’t. This will be better than last nite’s debate.

Trump will shine and she will fall flat.

Very much worth watching, I have seen past ones and they are hilarious.

Trump should just read Podesta’s anti-Catholic emails and then ask her if this is just her “private” thoughts.

Given Hillary’s remarks on Catholics this will not be a friendly forum for her. Cardinal Dolan will be giving her the eye.

Al Smith was governor of NY and the first Catholic to be nominated for President by a major party. He was a Democrat (naturally), but moderate. Anti-prohibition, and later anti-Roosevelt. He lost his presidential race to Hoover, largely because of anti-Catholic sentiment in the South. The Archdiocese of NY traditionally sees him as a sort of milestone in the history of Catholics in America, a symbol of having arrived and become part of the American mainstream. Looking back, in view of the abandonment by American Catholics of their identity and distinctiveness, I am not so sure their assimilation is something to celebrate. I know that Jesus broke bread with sinners who wanted him dead, but He had some important points to make. The Al Smith dinner is more about fudging and making light of our differences in view of what we have in common — sadly in American history we’re now polarized to the point where we have little to nothing of importance in common. Sharing an appreciation of cocktails and a good steak are not enough to pretend we have the same goals as globalists, marxists, and islamists.

About the only thing Mitt was good at was this dinner. Barky was so lame.

It will be impossible to outdo a natural entertainer, born in NYC, likely knows most of the people in the room, and has an actual NYC accent.
