A question for Bernie supporters

Bernie was invited to the Vatican to speak at the conference. Bernie met the Pope, it was a planned meeting.

Now why is there a need to explain more than that to Hillary supporters?

You're not going to change their mind, they can read the truth as easy as anyone can. They are still going to spin it as Bernie stalking the Pope and crashing the conference at the Vatican. Don't play their game and let them ruin what Rome was about. Their posts about Bernie's trip is nothing more than a noise machine.

Don't let them ruin it.

Hillary might be summoned to speak to a representative of a higher power fairly soon as well.

an obvious attempt at consciously spreading negative propaganda.

A similar issue not to engage on is regarding Bernie's taxes, another non-issue attempt at consciously spreading negative propaganda.

He has released the taxes and will release even more, there is no story there either besides that simple truth.

Typical candidate behavior is to make more of something than it really is. Think sniper fire, here. It's inconceivable any candidate would meet with a world leader and not claim to have engaged in deep, important discussions.

13. Hillary was invited to speak with the devil

Hillary was finishing up a day on the fundraising trail when the Devil suddenly appeared in her and made her an offer.

“I am here to make you a deal,” the Devil says. “I will give you unlimited wealth, power, and a media that will pander to your every whim. In return, all I ask for is your soul, the souls of every member of your family, and the souls of all your constituents.”

Hillary ponders for a moment and then asks, “Unlimited wealth and power?”

“Completely unlimited,” the Devil confirms.

“A pandering media?” she asked.

“They’ll fall over themselves to support you, no matter what you do or say,” the Devil assured.

“And you want my soul, my family’s souls, and the souls of my constituents?” she asks.

“Yes. All of them,” says the Devil.

Hillary thinks deeply about it, then finally says, “So…what’s the catch?”
