Bernie Sanders Memo Shows Demands: ‘A Plane–Or I Contest The Convention’
Breitbart ^ | July 25 2016 | Neil McCabe

Posted on 07/25/2016 6:49:34 PM PDT by curth

Sen. Bernie Sanders will back Hillary Clinton in exchange for speaking opportunities at fall campaign rallies, a fully-funded campaign aircraft and a share of the credit for her hoped-for election, according to a negotiating memo obtained by BuzzFeed News and dated two days before the June 7 California primary.

“Request a plane and staff for a series of fall rallies in battleground states … plane would be paid for by the DNC,” according the the Sanders memo, titled “End Game 2016” and addressed to “Bernie 2016.”

The memo’s authenticity has not been confirmed by Breitbart News, but it has not been denied by Sanders’ campaign team.

Reminds me of something I heard awhile back.

Capitalism - The rich become powerful
Socialism - The powerful become rich.

To be fair, he wants the plane paid for by someone else, so he’s not selling out his commie principles.

Man of the proletariat, isn’t he?

I have to laugh when people I grew up with declare he’s the only uncorrupted candidate on either side.

Think about it...old man, oddball, small state, elected as an Independent, notable only for his wacko ideas. Suddenly he has young people clamoring for his brand of Marxism and he becomes addicted to the adulation like so many that have gone before. Losing is the best thing that could have happened to him...a meal ticket and fame until his passing.

“He sold his soul pretty cheap...”

Probably not, but this is the transparent approach the DNC and the Clinton campaign will attempt to use to neutralize the passion of his supporters. What they don’t understand is that the anti-establishment movement started on the democrat side by Sanders is about much more than him. It’s about people being sick and tired of being lied to and having their voices and concerns not heard. This same sentiment is shared on both sides of the aisle. People aren’t going to give these establishment politicians, and their cronies, a pass for lying or being unethical, no matter who else is in bed with them. The genie is out of the bottle.

This was all it took for him to sell out his millions of loyal followers? Who gave their time and millions of hard earned dollars to support him because they believed in him? He sold them out for plane and a few speeches???

What a douche!!!!!

Bernie should have demanded VP slot. Sad he did not. Maybe not too late.

Close to half of Bernie’s supporters now view him as a sell-out. How much is an endorsement from Vidkun Quisling really worth?

I cant stand Communism, cant stand Socialism, but I can respect someone who actually believes in the crap that comes out of their mouth..with Bernie, he was a fraud since DAY ONE..he never intended on even trying to win, just collecting money, spewing his idiocy, then kissing some Clinton behind when he knew it was over

Good luck with that you phony socialist. I doubt you’ll get anyone to show up at your worn out sideshow.
