Alert Bernie is a poltician

A shocking revelation- Bernie sanders is a politician I can see how one can make the argument that Ralph Nader and Elizabeth Warrren are not politicians. Even though Nader has been around politics he has never held an office and Warren is a later entrant.

Bernie has had one job his entire life. Prior to being a mayor he couldn't even hold a steady job and had his electricity turned of a number of times.

So when you go to the Vatican you are committing a political move. He is a politician.

And he accepted. No doubt that will be politicized...it already has been. Maybe the youth will think he is god-endorsed, as someone mentioned on another thread

Just because you don't like him, doesn't mean he hasn't been a public servant his entire life. I'm sure the people who voted for him don't mind paying his salary.
