(1,729 posts)My position on this issue is very long game and goes way beyond any one candidate. It was enough to turn me from long time lurker to poster. If this had been Hillary, I can guarantee you I wouldn't have liked it. As a matter of fact, had she done that I probably would have switched to Bernie over it. There are numerous things I don't like about this and there's a particular Catholic news article I wish I could find again because it summed up all my issues with this better than I ever could.
If Hillary gets an audience with the pope during the general, I will be just as irate and I utterly despise Trump. I do not like he precedent this sets. Oddly, my phone tried to autocorrect that as president. Even my phone know how bad all this stinks.
