Trump and the Pope

      Nothing like a little sideshow to get the pundits going.  Seems a reporter asked Pope Francis, who has been in Mexico this week and made a stop on the US/Mexico border, a pointed question:  What does the Pope think of Trump's position about building a wall along the border and keeping out asylum seekers?  The Pope responded that a person who thinks thus is not a Christian: he who builds walls, not bridges, is not concerned with the human condition.  Mr. Trump, when told of the Pope's statements, immediately defended himself.  "I am a Christian", said the Darn Old," and  a Presbyterian Christian at that, and I'm proud of my Christian heritage."
      So, during this unusual campaign season, with all its twists and turns, we now have the Man With Yellow Jaundiced Hair Piece talking down the head of the Catholic Church.  Yes, the darn old trump is pandering to evangelical Christians who might think Pope Francis is too liberal.  After all, the Pope said that contraceptive devices are Ok to prevent the spread of the Zika virus in Brazil and other locations.  Hmmmmm.  Sounds liberal to me.  Too liberal?  I don't think so.
     Hillary and Bernie are in Nevada, stirring up the Democrats ahead of Saturday's Democratic caucuses.  Bernie is making Hill work for this one.  For 74 years old, the Bern Man is full of energy.  He's campaigning in the style of Bob Dole.  Jeb Bush is having his Mom speak on his behalf.   Hmmmm.  Must be worried.  This weekend could be it for the youngest Bush kid.
    We'll be watching, but not during ski time with all this wonderful powder snow around Tahoma, Homewood, and the Lake Tahoe rim.
     Get some.
