When Will The MSM Call Sanders What He Is: A Bumbler?

This Vatican trip is just the latest in a series of "not ready for prime-time" moves made by Sanders.

Seriously - you go to speak at a conference that is specifically about a specific Vatican encyclical, and you attribute its authorship to the wrong Pope?

What kind of grade would that earn in a high school speech class? "My report is on Shakespeare's Othello, which was written by Samuel Clemens."

Mr Green Mountain chartered a 200 person jet for 50 people. That's hypocrisy, not bumbling. IamMab Apr 2016 #4

I am guessing the FEC will want to know why he availed himself and 10 of his relatives to an all-expenses-paid Roman holiday via chartered jet using campaign cash.

Sanders knows exactly what he's doing, I suspect. Doesn't make it right or smart or impressive, but he's not some Mr Magoo just skating through his campaign somehow.
