VATICAN CITY — Bernie Sanders’ whirlwind Vatican tour began with a motorcade, tearing through the legendarily bad Roman traffic roughly 10 hours after the previous night's debate in Brooklyn finished. Italian motorcycle police escorted the senator, who hadn't even had time to shower, let alone change or practice the speech he’d finished writing overnight on the chartered plane.

It may have been the most incongruous scene in a campaign that has featured many of them, with the Vermont senator, who struggled to be taken seriously at the outset of the campaign, sitting in the shadow of the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica, awaiting his chance to take his message to a global audience.
