NY Observer Op-Ed: Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, and Pope Francis
http://observer.com/2015/07/bernie-sanders-hillary-clinton-and-pope-francis/-snip-
With great mercy to my readers, this will not be another story about the media mania surrounding the presidential candidacy of Donald Trump but a prediction that when September comes, and Pope Francis arrives on American soil, there will be a different kind of mania that will powerfully affect the course of the 2016 campaign: pope mania!
Francis will be visiting New York, Washington and Philadelphia, and he will give major addresses to the United Nations in New York and a joint session of Congress in Washington. The media will give saturation coverage to the pope’s visit, which will have a huge impact on the trajectory of the presidential campaign.
