This invitation to the Vatican feels like a turning point

[riderinthestorm]

Maybe its the insane reaction from Hillary’s supporters but the stark differences in who the two of them really are will be on full display.

The press won't be able to spin that.

It will force at least some contemplation of Bernie's biggest issues.

It puts him on the national stage.

I've been pessimistic/realistic about Bernie's chances of getting the nomination even as I've done everything I can in IA, IL and WI to help him win.

Today feels like some corner's been turned and I'm feeling hopeful for his chances.

Anyone else feeling the Bern of a new day?

1. i have always known it would be a long shot getting bernie the nom

sometimes it seemed impossible

then on good friday...that bird

last night i said to my spouse, we need something good, close to a miracle , then this morning i wake to find out the bern is invited to the Vatican

bill screaming at blm is just icing on the cake

i still think good things can happen

2. Yes! This is huge for his campaign.

Did you see the map showing the states where most Catholics live? EAST COAST and WEST COAST have the largest concentration of Catholics. That is HUGE for NY, CT., PA., DE and MD. Then go to the West Coast and CA.'s Latino voters who are mostly Catholics...this visit is MONUMENTALLY IMPORTANT.

The opponents know that too. That's why they've been carrying on like sore losers and spoiled brats all day long. They're JEALOUS, but this Pope would NEVER invite someone like Clinton to the Vatican. He sees where her loyalties lie and they're not with THE PEOPLE, like Bernie's are.


This pope washes the feet of the poor and homeless. I could see Bernie doing that, but NEVER Clinton. Bernie and the Pope have BOTH been fighting for 'The Least of these' their entire lives! Clinton? Not so much. She was too busy giving speeches for $225,000 each.

I can't wait to see how the corrupt corporate owned MSM spins the crowds Bernie is certain to draw in Italy. He's beloved around the world! I bet the Italian media gives him more respect than he's EVER received from our corrupt corporate owned MSM. I hope they're shamed....though they're probably incapable of feeling shame.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

3. Amen!

4. For me the turning point was Iowa

But it is accelerating now.

I try not read too much into the bird and the Pope but wow it's hard not to!

5. Puts him on the national stage?

I would argue it puts him on the INTERnational stage.

That's why team Clinton is trying to sabotage it.

10. Lol, I stand corrected!

6. I've never doubted that Bernie will get the nomination

I am thrilled that the pope has invited him to Rome. The bird event was very moving. To me, both are affirmations. There is a force much larger than pollsters, pundits, and propagandists at work.

7. Atheists like the pope.

People like Bill Maher, who is openly atheist, like the pope.

The Pope talks about the evils of greed and unregulated capitalism. And he seems to be a really nice guy, on the side of being a kind Christian instead of being the head of the office of the Inquisition, which Benedict, his predecessor, was. They had to change the name of the office. It became the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which sounds better than the Inquisition.

I figure that if the Republicans don't like him, the Pope must be doing something right.

And the same as far as Hillary's defenders.

8. The Pope will meet w/ Bernie.

It's going to happen. And The Pope will make it happen.

To strip away anything other than political theater, it's going to help New York and California. Hillary (and her supporters) know this.

9. it makes it hard for the media to ignore him

They loooove all things Pope. Visits by the Pope always get 24x7 coverage with blathering, worshipping media.

We don't know that the Pope will meet with him; if he does it would be a very big deal.

I think the turning point came when he started winning landslides all in a row. But this kind of fires up the booster rockets (or, for us horse people, lights a fire under his tail ) as we head into the final stretch...

11. It puts him on the GLOBAL stage and he will shine

I really started feeling it earlier this week with Wisconsin. There is no turning back now.

12. Statesman!

14. We haven't seen this caliber in a long time. Yes, Statesman vs. Politician.

That is the campaign.

15. I wouldn't worry

The media will do their best not to cover it. I wouldn't worry about AIPAC.
