It was a private plane, and many people on it were his own family (his children and grandchildren), so I wouldn’t say it was exactly a campaign expense. Where did the money come from?

He and the pope are so ‘umble that I can’t imagine how they can be doing all this traveling. Not to mention all the global warming they’re causing, the indigenous peoples they’re oppressing, the dolphins they’re killing, etc.

And of course, no matter how short the trip, Francis always manages to get off a press interview that destroys what little remains of the Catholic Church.

Everything you say might be true. Except about the campaign expense. The contrast of Sanders in Rome and having a short meeting with the Pope vs hill and Bill at obscenely expensive fundraisers for the elite of CA is worth a million dollars of advertising.

I also think it helps our cause. In the general, Trump might be the billionaire, but he's the one going to every corner of NY while hillary had better ways to spend her time. Images like this could get fed up Sanders voters to choose Trump instead of the witch.

Thx for that update. I was apparently misinformed.

Not exactly a rare occurrence.;-)
