Speaking of optics, every 10min on CNN : Hillary attending 6-figure fundraiser in LA hosted by

Clooney, while Sanders will be in Brooklyn, hours after meeting with Pope Francis at the Vatican.

"Clinton gets help from Clooney"
vs.
"Sanders meets with Pope Francis"


Remind me again how the impossible improbable Rome trip was going to be such a bad idea?!?

Or one of the Sunday shows. It will be interesting to see what he has to say. I don't think he was expecting protesters lol!

He probably signed on and it snowballed.

I'm not all up in his business but he seems like an OK guy regardless of his choice of politician.

Will definitely be watching tomorrow.

11. Hillary wasn't kidding when she said she had no natural talent as a politician.

What candidate in their right mind (who is being depicted as a tool for Wall Street) schedules events like this? The fee to get in is greater than her opponent's annual salary.

Your post reflects very poorly on you, but has zero effect on Sanders or his supporters.
