This is HILARIOUS - Pundits are just STUMPED SILLY that some things are more imp

than politics.

I WISH I could embed this video. If someone can, please do!

Jeff Weaver on Bernie Sanders’ Vatican Trip: Some Things Are More Important Than Politics

http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/videos/2016-04-08/jeff-weaver-bernie-sanders-won-t-cancel-vatican-trip

Jeff Weaver just tells it like it is, "Some things are more important than politics." Their jaded view of the world just can't believe it.

"This is inexplicable to me"





While they absolutely positively cannot understand how Bernie could leave for a couple of days before the NY Primary, Bernie manages to schedule THREE rallies on ONE day in NY.

That day is TODAY!

He's just amazing.

I hope he gets to meet the Pope. It would be so incredible for him.

Or would we?

And should we?

And perhaps the media and HRC should as well.

Somehow I feel they will spin this as Bernie playing politics with religion. If this was Hillary in Bernie's shoes, then they'd spin it as though she was getting canonized.
