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.

And, if he’s lucky, he won’t get a .45 caliber hole in his head! Or maybe he’d prefer that to going down in an air crash?

The DNC will knock down the Bernie facade and attempt to leave the movement rudderless. There’s a movement for the taking for a leader who is down for the struggle. Bernie obviously was not. Who will step up?

We have been telling the Sanders idiots socialism is a fraud and now they are mad the truth comes out for real, that they are used and worthless, paying all the debts or washed away with illegals, who knows.

Unbelievable, they still do not get it

Boy he can be bought cheap. BTW, Bernie, I wouldn’t fly in any private jets anytime soon. You might fall out before the plane gets to its destination.

Oh, you can have both. Ask Ron Brown! ;)

Thanks, I meant to reference Ron B. but I’m tuckered out and my brain is flatlining... However, thankfully, at least there’s time for another beer! :)

I am highly suspicious of this item.

The headline is blatantly false and contradicted by the document, which immediately indicates deception on the part of the author.

There is no ultimatum for a plane in exchange for an uncontested convention in the document. There is a suggestion to request a plane but it is not phrased as a demand, and certainly not as an ultimatum.

There is no “FROM” in the document. Who is the author?

The PDF file format version is really really old. Adobe Acrobat version 1.3? I have documents that are many years old which are well ahead of that version.

The file provided was created at 1:19AM this morning, so it’s not a genuine original. Created on Mac OSX which makes the old format even more puzzling.

Something smells very very fishy about this document and I would hold off on treating it as credible until confirmed by more verifiable sources.

Bernie and Debbie make up on board a flight to Florida in an airplane provided by the Clinton campaign.

I said from Day One, he was in that primary to make Bill’s wife appear moderate to undecided voters.

Bernie is proving us right tonight. Hillary is great! Trump is evil! Hillary ran a tough campaign and she will beat Trump and pack the Supreme Court with socialists while raising the minimum wage and wiping out college tuitions! Oh, and she’ll put Wall Street in their place!

He’s saying everything they want to hear him to say. He gave them the red meat they wanted. And they still believe him. Then he pulled the run out from under them.

Did you hear the line “this election is not about political gossip”? In other words, pay know attention to the DNC’s emails. They don’t matter. Now they’ll all stand in line to vote for Hillary.

Oh, and he told them the “revolution” must continue but apparently he thinks Hillary is going to lead it.

And he talked about how much money Bush spent but never mentioned Obama’s spending. This guy is one big “insider fraud”. Unfortunately, few of his cult followers will see it. I wish he’d take off for Guyana. They’d follow him in a heartbeat.

This was undoubtedly leaked by the DNC and Hillary’s campaign to make him look like a ‘taker’, not pure in principle.

This just tarnishes Sanders. It doesn't help Hillary with Sanders supporters, which is the prize.
