He should try being more like Francis.

The bros think that the conference participation actually means something. Let them have it. It is kinda funny though how the press and the Democrats are politely averting their eyes so as not to cause Sanders any embarrassment in addition to the humiliation he has caused himself with this fiasco.

I wonder what the people of Vatican City think of him after the nuisance he's made of himself.

DON'T mention that Henry Kissinger also attended one of these conferences at the very same Academy? Only was actually included in the original program as a speaker?

Yes, she wasn't particularly pleasant about being overruled (per her claim), but that's no reason to snub her.

The appropriate response is to be so incredibly nice to her that she knows on every level that you have great contempt for her--but cannot find one single word or action of yours that's faulty or can be criticized.

That way, there's nothing that can play negatively on the news. This? Not a good show, Bernie. Not a good show at all.
