Bernie then flies all the way to Rome on a personal jet so he and the Pope can kiss each other, why I don't know. But then he has the gall to then chastise Hillary for not having a strict enough Climate Change platform after he flew all the way to Rome for a 5 minute visit with the Pope.
This one plane ride to Rome burns as much carbon emissions as does driving an SUV for an entire year.
I guess the Pope is a Bernie fan and invited him to fly over for the visit. No word yet on whether the Pope still thinks Trump is still going to hell, but the Pope did reiterate that he was not going to soil himself in the political arena by remaining unpartisan.

He's a "greedy" anti-Wall Street socialist?
He certainly can afford to pay them out of his own pocket but chooses not to.
Socialists are only interested in taking money from others, not giving any of their own. Their motivation is thievery and personal power.
Originally posted by whodeyIn this post, you're acknowledging that Bernie isn't the one paying the interns. That means that Bernie isn't deciding the pay rate, someone else is. In other words, your claim that Sanders has some "hypocrisy" is unfounded.

Originally posted by vivifyAs I said, they work for him even though he does not pay them. This is true for all politicians. That's why they don't give a damn about worrying how to pay for a higher minimum wage. I would think that if he really cared about how much they make an hour he would find out and make sure they get their "fair share". If nothing else, he should pay them out of his own pocket, but won't.

If he did pay them, maybe he would STFU about higher wages.
Originally posted by whodeyYou do realize that most internships are unpaid, right? And you do realize that the national minimum wage doesn't apply to internships, right?

Simply put...you realize you have no argument, right?

Originally posted by vivifyI would imagine that his personal workers are not considered real workers in order to evade any existing laws on labor. It only makes sense.

It's like when Obama goes to war in Libya and then gets around the laws regarding going to war by simply stating it's not really a war.
Originally posted by whodeyDoesn't that apply to just about everything?
For the life of me, I don't understand the minimum wage.
The funny part is that you keep on starting threads about topics you don't understand, and some how manage to weave a lie into just about every single OP you create. Its like somewhere in the back of your head you do understand enough to lie about it.
My current hypothesis is that you are paid by Obama to make republicans look stupid.

Sanders’s Record, Filings Show Benefits From Super PACs, Links to Wall Street Donors
WASHINGTON—In nearly every speech, Bernie Sanders reminds voters that he doesn’t have a super PAC, doesn’t want money from Wall Street and rejects establishment politics.
Yet the Vermont senator has benefited from at least $1.5 million in backing from super PACs and from political groups that don’t have to fully disclose their donors, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission.
As a member of Congress, he regularly attended retreats with Wall Street lobbyists and other donors, and as a candidate for the Senate, he benefited from money that indirectly came from them. Last year, he directly accepted about $55,000 in Wall Street contributions for his Democratic presidential campaign, FEC filings show.
