CNN had another panel this morning debating whether Bernie should have gone to the Vatican

After all, the New York primary is on Tuesday and that's time he's losing with New York voters because they don't have TVs or radios or the internet that allows them to see that Bernie got an enthusiastic greeting in Rome where he was the only candidate invited to speak on income inequality and a moral equality.

I am looking forward to seeing the CNN panels this weekend discussing whether Hillary Clinton should be taking the time out of New York for her 2 high dollar fundraisers in California with George Clooney and his lovely wife. Hopefully one of the cable channels will have cameras there to show the hundreds of protestors who promise to be outside one of the events.

Knocking on doors? Holding another rally? I think this is much more important than anything he could be doing in the state itself. And its one day for christ's sake!

and getting worldwide media coverage for it, he could have done another 3 rallies in New York!

The Clinton surrogates have been pushing this nonsense. Nobody would have turned down that invitation. Hillary would have killed for it, but it is one of the few things that the Clinton money and political/business can't buy her.

Every time they talk about Bernie's trip to the Vatican they harp on him leaving New York at such a time. I seriously doubt they will even show protesters at her CA events.
