Bernie Sanders attends Warriors’ game with actor Danny Glover. Big question. Who bought the tickets?

That's what everyone is asking! Could it have been Danny Glover? He has money, much more than Bernie I'm sure. Perhaps some Wall Street tycoon or billionaire corporate CEO? mmmmmm big mystery. Needs to be solved.
In any case, it looks like Bernie had some badly needed fun and down time if only for an hour or so. Imagine 2015


Bernie Sanders attends Warriors’ game with actor Danny Glover

OAKLAND (KRON) — The Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders caught the last half of Game 7 of the NBA Western Conference finals on Monday night in Oakland.

Sanders snuck in during half time and sat with actor and Bay Area resident Danny Glover as the Golden State Warriors battled Oklahoma City Thunder for the Western Conference title.

Accompanied by Secret Service, Sanders sat in row 15 of section 108 as the Warriors beat the Thunder to advance to the NBA Finals.

After the game, Sanders told CNN reporters that that game was “a very good omen for our campaign.” He is referring to the Warriors making a comeback from being 3-1 against the Thunder in the series.

access to half a basketball game while on a grueling campaign trail (the only one of the three candidates to work overtime to talk to and listen to supporters). I care about which candidate is going to ratify the TPP, TTIP, and TISA. I care about which candidate is going to continue Obama's violently destructive regime-change policies. I care about who is going to to restore regular people's financial security and stop funneling our hard earned tax dollars to multi-billion dollar private enterprises. I care about which candidate has earned her multi millions of dollars by facilitating lucrative government deals for foreign governments, mega banks and mega corporations. Who gives one crap about Bernie getting taken to a basketball game by Danny Glover?

5. That would help more than William or Hillary Clinton campaigning hard for Sanders.

Obama has some credibility, Hillary has none.

3. Frankly, I wish all the candidates would have more fun on the trail. It humanizes them.

I'm not even supporting Sanders, and I don't have a problem with this, or that he and Jane got to go see "Hamilton". Campaigning is hard, and they should get to lighten up and have a good time. We've become a rather grim society in my opinion. I like to see people enjoying themselves. I don't even care if the tickets were personally delivered by a bird!

Final Four while president (he and Nolan Richardson are friends). Now the far right is trying it against Sanders. The hilloons and Clarence Thomas's pal David Brock haven't changed their playbook in twenty years.

Y'all have his tax returns now. Go take a look. I'm sure there is a scandal in there somewhere.

Not.

contacted the campaign.

“Nah, we never see celebrities up here. They usually get them seats way down there, courtside,” said May Ng, a Warriors season-ticket holder who sat behind Sanders and paid $285 for her seat. (The Sanders campaign declined to say how much it paid other than to say that it would be paid for personally by the senator and that the ticket was purchased from the team.)
