143. That's really what it's about

It's a clear invitation for Sanders and a clear rejection for Clinton from The Vatican in their eyes. It's driving them insane.

It really has no sway in the Primary but the optical (like Birdie Sanders) are unbeatable, and Hillary hasn't had one of those moments, let alone 2 like Sanders.
