chair he is going to be sitting on in his mass in new york has been built by day laborers. do you think that the issue of immigration and how to talk about it can be something that the pope has an impact on here? you know, i really hope he does talk about this. let s remember that hispanic catholics are amongst the most positive about their feelings about this pope. and so to have a spanish speaking pope deliver many of his addresses in spanish will be very, very important to that segment of his flock. i don t see how with his sensitivity and care for the dispossessed and marginalized, i just don t see how he can come to america at this point in our lives and not address the immigration situation here around the 11 million or so undocumented people we have in this country. because i think his heart will go out to them and i think his
a man who could be so very good at what you ve done for years and that is mediation. that s right, brian. here s a pope that has gotten involved in bringing the u.s. and cuba closer together. here s a pope that has put human rights on the agenda by talking about refugees and immigrants and the rights of poor people, the dispossessed. here s a pope that engaged in one of the, i think, most important national security debates today, climate change, the importance of saving and preserving our planet. and also as a hispanic american i m very proud. i ll be at the white house with my wife barbara we ll be at the canonization of junipero serra. he s an argentine, a latin. yes, it s all american, all
the response to the question was a doubling down on his sexism. so he pivoted. in this way the focus group says he sounds like a career long politics. he did pivot. what he pivoted effectively. to me when people make those critiques it is from those in a position of power. it is never those from the disenfranchisement or the dispossessed. i m an african american women. cloak of correctness tends to be a way of protecting me. the other thing i think is that his record of sexism is ongoing. i watch the apprentice for many years. his books, donald trump is a sexist. is that out of step with the gop party? that is another question. in some ways yes. in some ways no. the abortion conversation was a pretty sexist conversation they were having. donald trump fit in in what way. right. michelle, can trump take on fox news and win? because he seemed to be pretty
