This is a non-issue. Sanders takes 50 people along for a very short trip to Rome. He has plenty of campaign money, transparent, from small donors, so nobody is buying him with a ride in a plane.

It would've been a massive inconvenience for other travelers at airports and make campaign scheduling impossible if he didn't use a private jet.

Give Sanders credit where credit is due. His going to Rome and even having a short meeting with the Pope vs hillary at deep-pocket donor dinners. Stunning.

The commie is doing America a favor by being a continual drag on the Hildebeast. Anything he can do to solidify connections may induce him to run as an independent. Like they say, there’s no fool like an old fool. And the commie is an old fool who can be useful.

As long as he’s beating Hillary in any way shape or form he’s destroying the widely held view, even among conservatives, that’s she’s invincible. She isn’t. The woman is being judged in the court of public opinion and she’s losing.

Trump being a marketing maven has tried out various labels for Hillary. I think his latest, “Crooked Hillary” is simple, succinct, and plays on people’s emotions. It may be the winner. Hillary is being tag teamed by the FBI, Trump and the commie. I just wish the commie had an A game. So far he’s been bush league. He needs to pound the hell out of her.

The women needs to be “educated” with a political 2x4 applied frequently and with fervor. With the additional revelations from the Panama Papers both the commie and Trump have plenty of ammunition.

The more ground Hillary loses especially, the more the power brokers in the Democrat party will see her as being increasingly risky.

Obama came out supporting Hillary to reassure decision makers in the party. The more she’s lambasted, the harder it will be for her to maintain that level of support.

When the Clinton’s used the foundations to evade taxes on the profits from racketeering, they put that money beyond reach accept for reasonable expenses. They need the big donors. Once those fall by the side, the Clinton’s will have to use their own money. They won’t want to do that.

They are headed for a nasty wake up call. I’m still hoping the commie grows a pair.

No it wouldn’t. I flew in first class with a famous presidential candidate aboard a Delta flight coming back from Italy. He was the last to board (he apparently had VIP accommodations at the airport since he wasn’t in the first class lounge) and the first to leave the plane and no one bothered him the entire trip (I was sitting one row behind him) although as we were leaving many of us wished him well. I think 95% of the people on the plane didn’t even know he was aboard. He was met by NYC police at the door of the plane, and I walked right behind him off the plane and all the way to the JFK customs line where he was met and went through a separate entry.

If he was the socialist he proclaimed to be he would have loaded his plane with like minded socialists, for the fuel savings alone.
