Sanders made the trip hours after Thursday night's Brooklyn debate with rival Hillary Clinton and said the opportunity to address the Vatican conference was too meaningful to pass up. The roughly 24-hour visit will precede a crucial New York primary against the former secretary of state on Tuesday.

You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you can ALWAYS fool liberals if your ideas are far enough to the Left!

“Like I said no meeting with the pope”

You are naive. The Pope met with Sanders and the media made a big deal of it.

no meeting was not being reported at the time. In fact, just the opposite ... and thanks for the ad hominum.

The Pope was too busy bringing in Muslim refugees.

“no meeting was not being reported at the time. In fact, just the opposite ... and thanks for the ad hominum.”

I should not have phrased my reply in a way that could be interpreted as an ad hominem.

I should have said your viewpoint is naive or your opinion is naive.

Sanders was invited to enhance is political standing and make him seem more influential. The media are complicit in portraying Sanders as respected and reasonable in his views.
