Leaked Bernie Sanders 2020 campaign rider calls for candidate's hotel room to be FREEZING and for staff to 'stock up' on honey packets for his tea if available - as well as check for 'leaky faucets or slow flushing toilets'
Daily Mail ^ | 1/16/20 | Matthew Wright

Senator Bernie Sanders likes his hotel rooms cold and does not like slow flushing toilets, according to a leaked tour rider from his 2020 presidential campaign.

Referred to as the 'Senator Comfort Memo,' the document offers specific arrangements that need to be met for Sanders' hotels, food, drink, family and staff.

Marked 'confidential: for campaign staff use only, not for circulation,' the two-page memo is dated April 10, 2019 and was first reported by the Smoking Gun Wednesday.

**SNIP**

Sanders requests that rooms have a down comforter or at least one extra blanket and also asks that they come stocked with bathtubs if possible.

Desiring to exist in nippy conditions, the memo states that SBS needs a fan in the room if the room's thermostat does not go below 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

'Always test, set, and run thermostat before arrival,' the memo states in all caps.

Bernie request that that his accommodations provide the following each day: green tea with honey (saving any excess honey packets), English breakfast tea, a low sugar drink, one small bottle of red Gatorade, one bottle of Smart water, clementines and a small can of unsalted cashews/walnuts/almonds.

Sounds like Bernie needs to add Anthony Melchiorri to his staff.

The honey packet theft explains how he has accumulated so much wealth as a senator

Hahahaha...I’ll bet his houses are heated with evil propane. With a wood burning fireplace belching out environmental destruction by the minute.

In Jerry’s room we were required to provide a folding table, and a lamp.

For his coke...................and not the liquid kind............

It was made into an episode of Rod Serling’s “Night Gallery.” One of my favorites.

How do you prepare a room to be “stocked with bathtubs”?

And how many bathtubs? Must they be in a particular part of the room? Can they be stacked?

Just curious.

More likely the needle and the spoon.

Jerry was a well known Heroin addict.

From the bare bones quality of the requests, Bernie’s not living large. It would not surprise me if his team leaked the memo in order to stress his fairly spartan lifestyle.

I consider these requests as living large. How many regular people have assistants who go into their hotel rooms to set the temperature before they arrive or stock up on drinks and snacks? I'd say most voters don't have that luxury. Seems like an elitist prima donna thing.

Besides, it shows he's a hypocrite. He's for the Green New Deal yet wants his AC set to below 60 degrees and doesn't like low flow toilets. And the aforementioned setting of the thermostat before he arrives so that a room is cooling off with no one in it. Hypocrite.

That’s what executives do as a matter of routine, so they don’t have to waste time dealing with day-to-day chores that take up significant amounts of time. You think Trump does all his own stuff in this regard? These people lead extremely structured lives. Presidential candidates are dealing with messaging and resource prioritization issues on a real-time basis. They don’t have time to deal with this other day-to-day stuff.

He's just trying to acclimate himself for the morgue drawer. BTW, get ready with the t-shirts,"Bernie Didn't Kill Himself".

I shared a hotel room with a buddy and found out he liked it around 60. We almost killed each other.

A few weeks later he sent me a picture of his hotel thermostat at 56

I happened to be on the road that day and turned mine up to 98 and sent him a picture.

I agree with you. As much of a loon as he is, the dude is on the road constantly. These are not bad requirements.

Probably Trump has one that says, “I only shit in toilets made of gold.”

One of my old time sayings was, "Picken shit with the chickens", I will now change that to,

"Picken shit from a gold toilet, {with the chicken hawks}".

Sanders is getting the "bendy straw" treatment that Sarah Palin got.

Sanders isn’t an executive. He’s a public servant. Besides, these are comfort issues, not issues that will interfere with his schedule.

(And note that these comfort issues are out of step with his messaging.)

Bernie is susceptible to being attacked, as you put it, by those with a view of America that is diametrically opposed to his. His thinking of himself as a privileged prima donna, as evidenced by his ridiculous pomposity regarding his hotel room amenities, will not serve him well.

Who do you know, when prior to checking into any hotel, has a list of prerequisites as those ascribed to Bernie?

He’s an old fart die hard communist. Why the majority of Vermont voters elect him to anything is beyond my comprehension. Were it up to me, and it is not, thankfully, I would condemn him to an eternal life in hell. God may be more generous, as He accepts repentant sinners, through Jesus, up to the moment of their demise. Thus, even for Bernie there is hope.

As another said here, Bernie is not an executive. He has never held a private sector job. He’s a deadbeat who lives on the political government teat. He is an enemy of America. Last, and least, he is a public servant. He should fly coach, not in private jets or in first class. He should stay in the $59.00 a night motels, etc.

You lower yourself when you defend this fool.
