Would a sit down with the Pope

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by mcar (a host of the General Discussion forum).

help Bernies numbers in New York?
Talk on the tv right now that the trip is a waste of time unless Bernie can get a picture with the Pope and maybe some nice words from the Pope about Bernies economic policies.

It is worse for you than smoking or excessive drinking.
There is nothing there to see.

Better to go for a walk.

It just raises my blood pressure.
I just wish Bernie could pull this out somehow.
He would do so many great things for this country.

You should know that by now. It's all about downplaying his chances and discouraging supporters beforehand, and then if he does win a state, they say he was about to win anyway so it's no biggie.
And by the way, who puts negative spin on the trip to Vatican? Where the Pope lives? Who does that? The whole media spin on this is beyond prepostrous.
Can you imagine what they would say if Hillary got an invitation from the Vatican? They'll be constantly chattering about how that'll encourage large portions of Latino voters.

Beyond that, it's a lovely photo op for both of them, but nothing substantive will come from it. Just like most of the stuff that Frank does.

Violates the SOP for this forum. Consider reposting in GDP.
