Bernie Sanders just delivered an epic smackdown of Donald Trump over his helicopter rides

[rsexaminer]

Donald Trump flashed his wealth again this weekend, giving free rides to children on his private helicopter. As Trump flew above the Iowa State Fair, Sen. Bernie Sanders took the opportunity to fire back at the billionaire real estate mogul.

1. Uh, attacking a guy for giving kids helicopter rides?

Seems a little petty.

3. Except he didn't do that. If you had read the article (extremely poorly written and riddled with

typos), you would know that.

5. No, he was not attacking Trump for giving kids helicopter rides.

He was making a comment about the ostentation.
Trump would sue the parents of those kids and make them homeless, if there was money to be had.

6. I wouldn't interpret this as an attack

"Oh look, what can you do? It’s Donald Trump,” Sanders said, chuckling at the helicopter rode by. "I apologize, we left the helicopter at home,” the Independent senator from Vermont said to the laughter of the crowd. "I forgot to bring it."

If some think it is petty- oh well

8. for some reason

I doubt the children was what he was talking about. More than likely it was about a billionaire being out of touch, but facts do not seem to matter to some. That sir is not petty.

7. Iowa is in the south now ??<<comment on the journalist @ The examiner

sigh
The journalism distracted me from the content . How does this go to print ?

11. The examiner is a RW rag owned by the Moonies. The "writers" are paid

by page view so they write crap designed to get clicks.

16. I think this is another "examiner", not the Washington newspaper.

Look closely.
It appears to be the Orlando Liberal Examiner.

20. Nope they are all connected (with the execption of the SF Examiner)

From wiki:

Examiner.com is a media company based in Denver, Colorado, that operates a network of local news websites which use "pro–am contributors"' blogs for content.These posters' city-based items are tailored to 238 markets throughout the United States and parts of Canada in two putative national editions, one for each country.

Matt Smith of the San Francisco Weekly noted in 2007 that numerous articles and photos by Sharon Gray were from other sources, including the Sacramento Bee, and constituted apparent plagiarism. Smith suggested that the case showed that "free isn't always a bargain." When questioned, Jim Pimentel, executive editor of Examiner said,

"They're blogs. They don't get edited. We don't give any direction to people on what to write in their blogs. And that's standard operating procedure."

After Smith brought the issue to Pimentel's attention, the voluminous Gray material was removed from Examiner.com. Pimentel said the Examiner has "a less-strict standard for accuracy and attribution in stories that appear on the Web" than for publications in print. According to Smith, Robert Gunnison, director of school affairs at the U.C. Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism, shares his own view that newspapers "should observe the same journalism standards online as they do in print."

9. I don't know about epic…

Trump gave kids rides in his helicopter, that might be one of the nicer things he has done.

13. Maybe you want an examiner group?

Just saying… I'm not used to the awful stuff after clicking, so you lost me.
