29. He is truly tone-deaf to everything

but his own drumbeat. Nothing else seems to matter to him.

For instance, when he accosted the Pope in Rome, Bernie said not one word about the desperate plight of the Syrian refugees that the Pope was going to visit, but merely stated how he liked what the Pope was saying about inequality. There was not even an acknowledgement that the Pope could be thinking about anything else but Bernie.

His grandstanding visit did manage to take away some of the press focus from the Pope's mission because the Pope had to answer questions about whether his involuntary meeting with Bernie constituted an endorsement (it most certainly did not) when the Pope wanted to keep the emphasis on the plight of refugees. For shame!
