You know what I enjoy about donating to Hillary's campaign?

Not having to ask myself how many lobster sliders $27 will buy.

This trip may really have been a wonderful experience for Bernie and his family but the advantage to his campaign will be negligible. Whether or not it was undertaken for really altruistic purposes, or was a campaign stunt, many people do see it as just that, a stunt. I'm hard pressed to justify using campaign funds on this trip if it wasn't, a campaign trip.

If it truly was a statesman's trip acting as a member of the US Senate, it should have come out of his senate travel budget, but then he probably wouldn't have been able to bring 10 family members.

His walk and his talk do not match. I really used to like him. A lot, for years. Sent friends emails touting his pov. Yep. Getting to know him better, I'm so over it. His fund raising and expenditures ENTIRELY on himself are despicable. Once he started to turn on all my friends and make it all about himself, the break up was inevitable. I understand why congress doesn't like him now.

He's raking it in, has to spend it on something, I guess. This is evidence right before our eyes in real time just how he does with people's money.

makes the $150 thousand that Sarah Palin spent on clothes (and had to pay back, IIRC) in 2008 pale in comparison.

While they are whining about rich and privileged?

I'd love to have some lobster sliders on a transcontinental flight once again. But, damn, I have never had a lobster slider and I have never been on a transcontinental flight!

Way to walk it like you talk it, Bernie!

I don't know if she was on the flight or if a colleague forwarded it to her from the plane.

I can't imagine even the most faithful BS supporter wanting this to get out.

Good to see the truth come out.

His supporters would claim he went to and from in the cargo hold.
