Chin isn't even the same shape.

Not that Bernie is the type to be driving an Audi R8 since he's all about the environment, and he'd have security detail so it would be impossible for him to be travelling like that.

Ears are different too. Just people trying to make something out of nothing.

Yeah bernie has always struck me as like a Prius or Tesla driver even.

There is a picture of him Charging a Tesla Roadster, but there is no information on whether it actually is his.

There are also pics around of a Sanders campaign-branded Tesla.

According to the Street Bernie's whip is a Lincoln of some kind.

 

[GTPorsche]

I don't think The Street is accurate. There's no such thing as a Town Car SUV.

It also sources a different article. I'm pretty sure that's a campaign vehicle and not his own.

 

[Sanji Himura]

Pennsylvania has joined the list of 3 states in declaring that Ted Cruz is a natural born citizen, and thus eligible to appear on the ballot for President.

Trump still has not ruled out the idea of running as a third party nominee.

Trump still has not ruled out the idea of running as a third party nominee.

That's a great idea, especially if he pretended to be a libertarian. He could bring Johnson more exposure than he's ever had and then he could bow out gracefully

You're probably correct, I have no idea. I think "Town Car SUV" refers to the way Ford sold the car; http://content.usatoday.com/communi...lincoln-mkt-crossover-town-car/1#.VwFJd6QwiHs

Trump still has not ruled out the idea of running as a third party nominee.

I think that was what we all presumed would happen when he stepped back from the Republican pledge?

I am pretty sure he is using it as leverage to not having the GOP screw him out of the nominee position.

Your dreaming harder then Trumps method for paying for the wall.

 

[Pupik]

Of course Bernie would buy his R8 with special "Commie Red" paint.

Please, we all know he's above automobiles:

Gotta keep up with the Trump, after all:

 

[CSLACR]

Does Bernie fly Southwest or something?

 

[GTPorsche]

Was expecting this stuff to start happening.

Does Bernie fly Southwest or something?

From the Snopes article I posted:

"While the Democratic candidate frequently flew coach before he began his Presidential campaign, Sanders has recently opted for charter flights, likely due to his heightened profile, increase in travel demands, and Secret Service protection."

 

[huskeR32]

Doesn't look like a photoshop, curious to see if Bernie addresses this at all. Fake or not the photo is dripping with irony...

If it's not Bernie (and it seems pretty clear that it's not), then where exactly is the irony?

 

[Johnnypenso]

Yeah bernie has always struck me as like a Prius or Tesla driver even.

Honda Insight would have been my guess.

 

[Biggles]

After all the fringe left academic theorizing on Trumps' so-called authoritarianism, lets see how a libertarian sees it through Trump's NY Times interview on foreign policy:

Better than that, please try this:

I think this is the most articulate & reasoned exposition of a Pro-Trump viewpoint I have come across. Thoughts?

Which makes perfect sense. Our Prime Minister stopped using public transport (and Tweeting about it) when he became Prime Minister.

 

[Sanji Himura]

Cruz and Trump campaigns look to push for a 'Threshold' provision to block Kasich from even getting to Cleveland.

Doubtful that they'll get anywhere. The talk is still of the Republicans choosing a current non-candidate at the convention. They can do this, and it might make sense - if Trump isn't chosen his supporters are unlikely to support Cruz and vice versa. A third candidate might get more support.

Massive protest infront of CNN HQ about Bernie Sanders media blackout, yet it's being completely ignored: http://usuncut.com/resistance/bernie-sanders-protest-cnn/

The official airline of the Florida Panthers, no less.

It's easy to deride politicians and the VIPs of the world for the enormous cost of charter flights, the fact is that they provide a lot more scheduling flexibility and privacy. While having to say "I can't make my stump speech because of a weather delay in Minneapolis, O'Hare is having another runway hold, and La Guardia is still...La Guardia" is downright honest, nobody wants to hear that from a future leader.

Who wants to be ruled by a simple commoner anyway?(an idealist communist, that's who) Think about it, sure it's nice to see someone in touch with reality and not an extravagant douche. I don't mind the rich, and I like the better than average person as a leader even more.

If they are in conspiracy together, they are doing it properly. Let's not forget that Mitt Romney did the same thing to Ron Paul back in 2012.

I thought about it and no it doesn't actually matter, what matters is their record and what they are proposing.

 

[The87Dodge]

About the poll: real surprised at how many people voted Sanders. I thought Hillary Clinton would have most votes.

 

[squadops]

@mustafur If there record is any good chances are they've already made it, would you vote for a circle k worker?

Sanders seems to have won the internet's heart, even it doesn't translate to a win. "Internet users" isn't a studied demographic for polls, as far as I know, but if it were I'm sure he'd crush it. His lead with young voters is certainly tied to that, but I would guess that even older folks are more likely to support Sanders if they're heavy internet users.

I wonder if there's been any real polling about that. I haven't come across any.
