I've already mentioned that, in the context of the full transcript, the media hit pieces regarding Sanders's NYDN interview are clearly part of a smear campaign, and exaggerate (to say the least) the few fumbles he did make.

This article covers the whole issue whether Sanders knows how to break up the big banks:

Just can't Feel the Bern. Too much of a one-trick pony (and he's sketchy on the trick). He could do good Ben & Jerry's commercials though, I suppose.

People who can't Feel the Bern have no soul.

Perhaps, but at least they have a brain.

Pope says its crazy to see his meeting with Bernie Sanders as political

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-us...-idUSKCN0XD0RE

Quote:
Pope Francis said on Saturday that his meeting with Bernie Sanders, contesting the Democratic candidacy for the U.S. Presidency, was not meddling in politics and that anyone who thought otherwise should "look for a psychiatrist".

Sanders and the pope met briefly on Saturday morning at the Vatican guest house where Francis lives and where Sanders and his wife spent the night after he addressed a Vatican conference on social justice.

"When I came down, I greeted him, I shook his hand and nothing more. This is called good manners and it is not getting involved in politics," the pope told reporters in answer to a question aboard the plane returning from the Greek island of Lesbos, where he visited a refugee camp.

"If anyone thinks that greeting someone is getting involved in politics, I recommend that he look for a psychiatrist," he said, laughing.

When have you ever seen anything like this for a politician?
