Safety first, especially if you are a principal mover in the vanguard of the revolution.
Heh, that was fun!
Sounds to me as if the reporter was being funny. I certainly chuckled at it. So it wasn't a screw up , thus no need to cut the reporter slack.
Yeah it was.
I’m going to do one up next Halloween with the glasses and a Bernie pin.
Well I won’t let him off too easy, but to his credit it seems he just says “if you want me to campaign for you, you gotta fly me there”. I don’t think that is so outrageous a demand. It would be hard to fly to very specific locations at very specific times using commercial - not just for him but his aides.
The price was paid by the DNC. It goes to show their own profligacy, not necessarily his. I don’t think he told them they had to spend $300k. FWIW, I think you can get a small business jet for about $10,000 per day but don’t hold me to that exact number.
The other thing not mentioned in the headline is the cost of hotels, food, transport around town, security etc. I would not be surprised if his 9 day tour cost the DNC $1M in all.
