immature and sleazy. His "different" campaign has turned to one of lies, deceit, spite and hate.

offend any members of the Catholic faith with this comment. I think he's been thinking of some other stunt.

My best friend had an "audience" with the Pope and he blessed her Terrible Towel! (It's a Pgh Steelers fan thing). 😊

Bernie just got a handshake and a "hello, good-bye." What is sad is that it sounded from the letter to Monsignor Sorondo (the one that the Bernicrats claimed was "handwritten to Bernie&quot as if the pope had been planning to put in an appearance at the conference but decided to skip it once Sanders'last-minute inclusion turned it into a politicized circus. I would imagine that was a disappointment to many of the legitimate attendees, who were probably looking forward to seeing the pope.

and all the New York polling is repeating the same drumbeat: "Hillary! Hillary! Hillary!"

With less than 48 hours to go until polling begins, there simply isn't much time, and everybody's fully aware that this is the absolute last potential split in the road.

Somewhere, deep down, they realize that Hillary +10 or better is nowhere near the Sanders +8 they need to simply stay competitive.

Tomorrow is do-or-die for the Sanders campaign. If he doesn't score an earth-shattering Mississippi-grade landslide, his campaign is effectively over. If the polls are correct, and New York being a closed primary leads me to believe they are, Bernie will lose the state by double digits. And his little Vatican stunt did Sanders no favors...especially since he used campaign funds to do it, and will probably be forced by the FEC to reimburse his campaign.

Now he's saying he doesn't have to win New York? His strategy seems to revolve around going to Philadelphia and trying to flip pledged delegates. His supporters know in their hearts it's over on Tuesday, and they're hurt.

When you know all is lost, but cannot accept it, you begin lashing out (more than usual) to deal with your anger and disappointment. Knowing that soon you will not be able to come to this web site and bash Hillary is a tough pill for them to swallow. What will they do with themselves. Oh I guess join the others over at JPR.
