TYT: Bernie Flies Coach, Voters Think He’s First Class



Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has made his campaign all about building the middle class. So it should be no surprise that when he flies, he flies coach. Cenk Uygur and Hannah Cranston (ThinkTank) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.

Does this make you like Bernie Sanders more? Let us know in the comments below.

“Underdog Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is winning fans on the campaign trail — by flying coach.

Supporters of the rumpled Vermont senator have taken to posting snaps of Sanders crammed in among his fellow travelers as he jets across the country in his uphill effort to defeat Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.

A stream of images are posted under the hashtag #SandersOnAPlane — including one showing the Brooklyn native sneaking in some computer time while sitting between two passengers.”

And apparently it's some kind of insult if one is "rumpled"...I'll take him any time over some slick millionaire/billionaire in $500 shoes and a $1000 suit or pantsuit.

He kept saying, "It takes a strong, successful businessman to run the country."

I said, "If all you care about is businessmen."

When Trump gets on his B757-200ER aircraft, he is writing this aircraft down as a depreciated costs, because of the simple fact that every take off and landing cycle ages the aircraft.

J just like all of his business conglomerations---------------------he retro-fitted the aircraft from some third party non-union firm, and every dollar he put into that aircraft was a write-off, but now that it is now being used as a political business expense for write-down purposes he can claim he went to some meeting in yard bird farm USA, because he also uses it for business, that's my take on this.
I mean really how does he claim one thing for FEC filings and another for political junkets or business, just asking .

I know he is suppose to divide each situation up for taxes -----------------but come on, how do you think he made his moola, depreciated costs on his buildings from a tax loop hole in the 1970's, (besides getting it from pops) and bankruptcy protection



I think it great that my candidate flies in the coach seat class, he gets 3 inches less leg room being with US and he likes to mingle------------------he's not snooty

Honk---------------------for a political revolution way to go BERNIE 2016
