(24,411 posts)fails to realize--that they've all ready lost when they spin their wheels, tearing down the fact that Bernie's invitation, speaking and meeting with the Pope.
As if that isn't sobering enough for them--every damn one of their talking points has been debunked.
He wasn't invited! Yes. Yes he was.
He's not speaking! Yes, yes he did.
He's not meeting with the Pope. He sure did.
And they are too dense to realize that the Pope's quote "anyone who viewed the "polite" chat as meddling in politics should "look for a psychiatrist" is about them and their rabid politicization that has been happening for nearly a week.
They have embarrassed themselves and they make the United States look like a country gone crazy.

(47,803 posts)We have the possibility of a presidential campaign between two extremely unpopular public figures.
The GOP has always been batshit crazy, but it's come to the surface.
The Democratic Party has chosen to blow a chance to actually give the system a fresh start with and a shot of positive energy , but chooses to once again serve up the stale, curdling milk of Brand Clinton.

(14,177 posts)I am following the Pope on Twitter now. I read a couple dozen of his tweets and he seems like a very nice fellow. His views on abortion and other issues that most liberals are appalled at (rightly so) are very much in line with what I grew up with. I don't hate my family members who think that way, so I don't feel a need to hate this Pope because of those backwards beliefs either.
