Leaked memo: Sanders team wanted use of private jet in exchange for backing Clinton
 

A leaked memo shows the Bernie Sanders campaign considered asking the Democratic National Convention for a private plane as part of his endorsement of Hillary Clinton to help ?keep his movement energized.?

The memo, entitled ?End Game?, was drafted on June 5, only two days before the California primary, and was obtained by BuzzFeed News after it was found in a Los Angeles hotel where Sanders campaign staff had spent the night.

It details the ?key decisions? the Sanders campaign would face in the aftermath of the June 7 primaries and the options open to it to maintain the momentum behind the Vermont senator.

While many Sanders supporters were adamant for him to stay in the race, it?s clear from the memo that his campaign team knew this would be unlikely.

The team acknowledges that as the Convention draws closer its ?leverage will diminish.?

?As we get closer to the convention the pressure from the Democratic Party to preserve unity will weigh more and more heavily on us rather than Clinton.?

It also adds that ?some Sanders supporters/endorsers will also begin to call for a concession and some may goes as far as moving their support to Clinton."

I still respect Bernie over the two current candidates even though I'm against a socialist government. Socialism leads to communism. It just opens up more ways for money to get funneled into the government to get misused and get "lost". Obamacare for example. Tripled my premium and ten-folded my deductible so that the government can steal more money. Healthcare industry. So corrupt. One of our biggest exports.

If it has been done in an honest way i.e. without corruption, without insurance companies, without conflicts of interest, it would have been OK, loads of money getting paid direct into a pot which can be used on healthcare. Unfortunately Obamacare has insurance companies involved and worse still Big Pharma, these guys are just there to harvest the population, they see people as their crop. :2 cents:

Why does this surprise anyone? Its very expensive for candidates to fly around with their staff. If Clinton wants Sanders to fly around the country to promote her, well, Clinton is going to have to pick up the tab. I am sure they agreed to pick up the bill for hotel rooms and other expenses too.

At the same time, do you think Chris Christie is paying for his air fare while he hangs around with Trump? Hell no. That tab is being paid for by Trump.

Sounds like him :disgust

Yes and a recyclable crop at that.

Well he IS a Jew so who's really surprised he wanted something out of the deal?

So you say Christie demanded this in exchange for his support, or Trump as just being decent person and gave him a ride?

The food, Viagra & hooker bill alone probably more than housing & transportation.

exactly, you nailed it

Obama care is a gateway policy/program, like don't ask don't tell was with Clinton. Obama care is shit. If you call behind and get cancelled the only way to get back on is pay for months you were cancelled, without coverage, because it's the law you have to be covered. Ripoff

They should have done single payer, but they were having too much push back.

+1 to you!
Companies like Phizer, Monsanto, Novartis are salivating.
