Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of the Diocese of New York, hosted the Al Smith dinner Thursday night, sitting between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Dolan admits he was nervous about the night, but says the two candidates shared “some very touching moments” before the dinner started, even though their public performance took a very different tone.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan, blessed with the job of playing peacemaker while sitting between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump during a white tie fundraiser, said the two presidential candidates demonstrated a kindness toward each other rarely seen in public.

While each candidate delivered some biting comments [ http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/trump-clinton-meet-after-final-debate-al-smith-dinner-n670401 ] while taking a turn behind the dais at the Al Smith Dinner, "there were some very touching moments" in private, Dolan said, describing one right after he asked both of them to pray with him.

“After the little prayer, Mr. Trump turned to Secretary Clinton and said, ‘You are one tough and talented woman,’” Dolan said. "He said, 'This has been a good experience, this whole campaign, as tough as it’s been.'"

Clinton then returned the compliment.

“She said to him, ‘Donald, whatever happens, we need to work together afterward,’” Dolan said.
