Rome is Berning!

I just love it. The optics are great, and the US media cannot and said they will not ignore this.

And, CNN just reported that Hillary will be away longer in CA, than Bernie will be away in Rome!!!

All the chatter of Bernie abandoning his campaign when it's time for NY. Utter bullshit from Hillary supporters once again. They were so busy finding out if he really was invited, who invited him, if he was really speaking, 'he's not, so it's a waste of his time', he is speaking but for only ten minutes, (how long is Hillary speaking?), he'll have jet lag, is the campaign paying for the flight, if not how can he go? He's a senator and can afford a ticket! Anyway, on and on, and now we learn Hillary will be away from NY longer than Bernie!

What's her supporters to do?

say it'll hurt a NYT columnist Charles Blow says it's a "real misstep because...he's going to be saying the same things there as he says here" One things for sure the free publicity is priceless.

Some very intelligent conservative friends who are also big hockey fans used to try to play up Dubya as if being a clueless dumbass was somehow desirable, as well as making fun of Kerry for being an active hockey player and windsurfer.

I guess they just see politics as another sport. They've already chosen their team, and you've chosen yours.

So to them it's like being up in the stands, heckling Stephen Curry even as he proceeds to destroy their team.
