1. Hmm...what will the FEC say then? He's already has so many campaign violations. nt

3. oh boy.. aren't you sweet.. your allegiance blinds you

7. Don't feed them. Ignore, ignore, ignore.

I do some times myself but I am trying.

[berniepdx420]

8. Good advice.. thanks

[rhett o rick]

13. Maybe just give em one of these

10. Just a thought

Seems to me it's pretty obvious it's a campaign expense. If he weren't campaigning, he could have taken a more leisurely trip. Chartering a plane was necessary to enable him to attend the debate, attend the conference, and get back on the campaign trail.

Just because a stop in Rome isn't a "campaign stop" per se, the travel to and from is.

Just like travel from a campaign event back home and back out on the trail would be. Your home isn't a campaign stop either.

On edit: You can't tell me that the FEC would demand that he make no plans other than to go from one campaign event to another. That would be absurd.

2. And - very happy to do so.

What is kinda funny is that there literally is nothing that can be said about Bernie that could get me to support a warmongering Third Wayer. So they are wasting their time, really.

[berniepdx420]

4. agreed!

[liberal from boston]

20. Go Bernie

Thank You. You put into words my thoughts.

[Punkingal]

5. Best money I ever spent!

6. I helped pay for it and am happy he took his family

The plane was going there anyway, I'm glad he was able to take them along and let his kids and grandkids share in an experience that they will aways remember.

Better that we paid for the trip than Chris Ruddy of NewsMax, James Murdoch of Fox, Goldman Sachs, Verizon, the government of Saudi Arabia and the other contributors to the Clintons and/or the Clinton Foundation.

16. That! What you said! Better that we paid for the trip than Chris Ruddy of NewsMax, James Murdoch ...

of Fox, Goldman Sachs, Verizon, the government of Saudi Arabia and the other contributors to the Clintons and/or the Clinton Foundation.


I'm happy we have a candidate that is a natural fit for the subjects addressed at the gathering. Shows his head and heart are where they should be for the office he's running for!

[virtualobserver]

9. I don't think that we did....

I think that he just put it on his personal credit card.

[BernieforPres2016]

17. I sure hope not

He had the press and the Secret Service traveling with him. No way he should pick up that bill personally. It should be a campaign expense.

[virtualobserver]

18. it wasn't part of the campaign....Don't worry, Bernie will be OK......

He will have a higher salary as President, so he will be able to pay that card down.

[Agschmid]

11. Actually campaign donations did not pay for this, but I get your point.

[WhiteTara]

12. which is supposed to pay for his campaign

he says the trip was not political. How does that square with the FEC?

[jwirr]

14. He did NOT say the trip was not political. He said that the

meeting with the Pope in the morning was not political. Also I read that he paid for it with his own cc not with campaign money.

[litlbilly]

15. so easy to put another hill shill on ignore. by by

[Kip Humphrey]

19. The truth is: no one posting in this OP actually knows how Bernie paid for this trip. And, frankly,

who the fuck cares?!!!
