Oh no, Hillary's secret record was unveiled during a primary. She has an awful record and provides so much material for the othe party and the worst part, it's her own doing.

Can't believe you are still sore about that foolish nonsense.
CajunBlazer
(5,648 posts)The "meeting" didn't make a big impression on the Pope:
Even the article you linked indicated:
Pope Francis downplayed the meeting, saying he saw Sanders outside Santa Marta, his residence, and they exchanged hellos.
"When I came out he was there, he was staying at Santa Marta and knew at what time I would be leaving. I greeted him and his wife, a handshake and nothing more. Its called courtesy," the pope said while returning to Italy from his trip to Lesbos. "If someone thinks that greeting someone is meddling in politics it's time to look for a psychiatrist."
From a much more detailed report from the New York Times:
Aware that his every statement is parsed for deeper meaning, Francis said he was simply being polite, not political.
I shook his hand and nothing more, he said. If someone thinks that greeting someone means getting involved in politics, he added, laughing, I recommend that he find a psychiatrist!
New York Times article on the meeting
Anyone who believes that 5 minute chat in the middle of a hotel lobby consisting of little more a hello and a handshake is a serious meeting also believes in leprechauns and unicorns, but then again....

(1,748 posts)Unwittingly or not, Biden made an even better case than Sanders has for taking his insurgent campaign all the way to the Democratic convention in Philadelphia. If the party is going to run in 2016 on a do much more agendaas opposed to triangulating around the centerthe Vermont senators supporters and like-minded Democrats, including Clintons progressive backers, will have to force the issue. Taking the Sanders insurgency to the convention is the paramount vehicle for placing demands that are ideological and, as Bidens comments suggest, also strategic. Thats one reason why Sanders promised in a statement on April 26 to go to the convention with as many delegates as possible to fight for a progressive party platformdespite the fact that Clintons delegate advantage now all but guarantees that she will win the nomination.

(47,803 posts)I would venture to say that the vast majority of people who support Sanders know how awful Trump is, and when push comes to shove will vote for Clinton if they have to.
In the meantime they are fighting to try and avoid having their choice limited to that however,
CajunBlazer
(5,648 posts)Hillary fought to the end in 2008 when Obama had a much smaller lead at this point in the nomination process. She won the last 12 contests but still couldn't close the gap. That doesn't bode well for Sanders's chances, but what the hell, nothing wrong with taking a shot.
The only people who bother me are the folks who are only here to support Sanders and care nothing about the Democratic Party or the country for that matter. However, if the process plays out as I think it will, there will be plenty of time to separate the wheat from the chaff after the nomination is won.

(11,175 posts)Each party would probably prefer to conduct its nomination fight completely in private, but that's not how it works. Candidates for the nomination will, quite reasonably, in addition to touting their own virtues, sometimes attack their opponents. If one of those opponents becomes the nominee, the other party has some material it can use.
Reagan was hit with Bush's "voodoo economics" quotation. Obama was hit with Clinton's "3:00 a.m. phone call" ad. Reagan and Obama both managed to win anyway.
