I find it interesting that the media, at first, tried to portray Sanders as "inviting himself to the Vatican". It was quickly proven wrong.
Yep, main stream media has been anti-Sanders the whole way. That's given more cause than ever to not trust most off the major U.S. media. I'll stick with The Guardian, sometimes the BBC...and always The Onion.
No, two spokespeople for the Pontifical society said two different things:
Margaret Archer, president of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, said that Sanders invited himself. “Sanders made the first move, for the obvious reasons,” Archer told Bloomberg. “He may be going for the Catholic vote but this is not the Catholic vote and he should remember that and act accordingly—not that he will.” Not long after, Monsignor Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo, chancellor of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences stepped in to dispute Archer’s statements. “I deny that. It was not that way," Sánchez Sorondo told Reuters. “This is not true and she knows it. I invited him with her consensus.”

So you think the Daily Beast article is lying to you? To what end?
I don't know that much about Daily Beast. They're not really a major news network. Their name indicates that they are into being trendy (ho-hum). Are they in it to enlighten? To fool us? To fool themselves? To make money?
Ah ha!

Daily Beast is a liberal publication. Read the other articles if you don't believe me.

Sometimes you just have to admit that the facts don't fit into a narrative.
In a nutshell, yes, I am a curmudgeon, a critical thinker, a skeptic, I hate capitalism, and I believe for profit news services all lie at least to some extent. But because I have a business, I'm also a capitalist by definition which means I'm also, to some extent, a hypocrite.
But not Bernie. He's honest and forthright. So there you go. Vote for the honest guy. Vote for Bernie!

P.S. I'm going to go make dinner now. Vote for Bernie so we can eat well and partake in good healthy too!
Amen... or whatever it is Catholic say.
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
Jews say Amen too, by the way - though typically pronounced "Ah, men". Fitting for this woman.
(and we're ALL hypocrites in some way...even Bernie!)
Bon appetito.

It was THE NUMBER ONE worst burrito I ever made. (I cooked it so can't complain too much.)
I say "ah, man". It's such a malleable phrase. It can be used to express relief, frustration, amazement, disappointment, joy, satisfaction or dissatisfaction, relief, trepidation and so forth. The all-inclusive salutation!
How was dinner? Ah, man! (option 2, 4 or 7 above)
Bernie for president? Ah, man! (option 5, 6 or 8 above)
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
Michael Stipe campaigning with Bernie in New York. Will Pearl Jam endorse Bernie when he is the nomini?
I'm fairly certain EV (or individuals) will endorse or support whoever is carrying the D for the election. Just look at the shirt they made for the tour. Seems pretty clear...
He hired her knowing her history and he looks like a coward for suspending her. He basically lost voters on both sides of the issue which isn't an easy thing to do.

^^^Not.
Missed the debate at the Brooklyn Navy Yard tonight due to working late but read the transcripts. Sounds like a tough battle. No real surprises as far as I can see.

I caught the last few minutes of it.
I genuinely don't understand how people can watch those debates. Every time I watch one I just get angry and start texting people in capital letters. I also hate the crowds at those things. Stop f%!@ing shouting and let them talk, or are you just afraid to hear the answers they give?
The debate last night was similar to the others. I fell asleep a few times. Hillary refuses to release transcripts and also swears that she's that always been for the $15 minimum wage. So just more lies coming from her really. Bernie said he will release his tax returns. The crowd booed a few times, her rich funders were sitting in front, a lot of Bernie supporters sitting way back.
I would have more respect for Hillary if she would stop the blatant lying.
Primary debates are the worst. It's a contest to see who can further to the left or right and declare positions that cannot be enacted.
General election debates are more tolerable.

Jeff Weaver, Sanders' campaign manager, said this recently:
"Remember that Hillary Clinton fundraiser on Friday where a couple could contribute $353,000 to sit at a table with George Clooney? Well, George Clooney himself was asked on NBC whether that was an obscene amount of money, and here's what he said:
"It is an obscene amount of money, the Sanders campaign when they talk about it is absolutely right. It's ridiculous that we have this kind of money in politics." - George Clooney"

Here's the rest, with context:
"I think the Clinton campaign has not been very good at explaining this and this is the truth: the overwhelming amount of money that we're raising, and it is a lot but the overwhelming amount of the money that we're raising, is not going to Hillary to run for President, it's going to the down ballot ticket,"
He went on to explain that it was necessary today to combat the Koch Brothers in the general election. He said it was a necessary evil until a more favorable SC could overturn Citizens United.
I'm personally not hopeful since we would need a different case to create standing for another chance at the ruling.

Interesting he says this, as he gives Clinton loads of cash for her campaign.

Well watch the whole thing and you can figure out why he does what he does.

Psychology.
Clooney's choice of words were made carefully; he knows he's being scrutinized in all of this and wants to look attractive to both sides of the aisle. I wonder about the money "not going to Hillary's campaign" though, there's no real proof of where all the money is funneled. Saying this certainly benefits him, reputably.

So you only read publications that are non-profit? Everyone else is lying to you? Here's a US News and World Report that says, essentially the same thing. http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2016-04-08/so-who-exactly-invited-bernie-sanders-to-the-vatican
