1. & Hillary hasn't driven herself in a car in over 20 years

So what's your point?

http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2014/01/27/hillary-clinton-car-auto-drive-nada/4942881/

[Cali_Democrat]

3. He lied when he said he knew how to ride the subway

Liar liar pants on fire.

[hollysmom]

12. well you are showing your NYC ignorance

the subway system has changed quite a bit, but being in California, you would not know that, those of us who live and ride the subway understand. I personally loved the token remark. that would be so me, ha ha . Yes it is a ticket now, and annoying ticket, I miss tokens, Tokens were so much easier to use, never failed because they expired, never failed to read because of a crease, but if you ask me I might say token.

So no lie there,just a displacement of time, and not as much time as you might think. serious,. if you are going to look for liars, I can tell you where to look.

[Cali_Democrat]

14. Actually I was in New York City last summer

I didn't use a token.

Bernie lied and said you have to use a token to ride the subway.

"You get a token and you get in," Sanders replied.

How exactly am I showing my NYC ignorance? Bernie is the one showing his ignorance.

[hollysmom]

18. you know nothing of where and when subway practices changed.

you know not of tokens. I have 5 different types of tokens saved from this very subway system.

[Cali_Democrat]

23. You know nothing about me

I've been to New York City at least 10 different times.

Did people have to use tokens prior to the card? Yes.

But Bernie doesn't know that tokens have been phased out.

He tried to pretend like he knew how to ride the subway and got called out.

[SusanCalvin]

78. Oh good grief.

So he described it the way he remembered it. He's not required to keep up-to-the-minute (or even the decade) on the details of subway riding.

[Ned_Devine]

79. I need a gif of someone grasping at straws and having them fall all over the floor

Surely someone here can procure such a thing

[jmg257]

27. "Bernie lied and said you have to use a token to ride the subway."

Millions and millions from lobbyists going to campaigns, and THIS concerns you?

Yeesh - And Hillary feels sorry for Bernie supporters.

[Carolator]

28. Actually, no, Bernie is showing his NY roots

And that he goes back quite a ways, remembering tokens for the Subway.

Hillary would never deign to ride the Subway, of course. Not enough room for her SS entourage of "pigs", as she and Bill and Chelsea so charmingly refer to the men paid to guard them.

[Desert805]

60. i just hope the trains successfully avoid all the Bosnian sniper fire!

Scary!!!

[Logical]

92. Lol, wow, one summer! Mt

[CTyankee]

19. I, too, used the token years ago and loved them. I loved their design and feel.

When I took the subway a couple of years ago I had to face the machine for the card and I was nonplussed. I have ridden the subway in Paris and London and I was never really quite as puzzled. I just think I knew the NYC subways better, and I clearly did not.

[Baobab]

75. Reember when Bush went to a supermarket and had never seen a laser scanner?

Kind of sad that some people are so divorced from day to day reality for so many others.

[JI7]

20. that wasn't a lie. he just didn't know about the change

[SusanCalvin]

80. Exactly. Silly OP. nt

[Rosa Luxemburg]

89. Neither would Hillary

[iAZZZo]

34. hillary can barely walk up a few-step gangway into her plane.......

no wonder her traveling press is not allowed to watch her

wait.... what???

hillary's international press corp - now some two months without a question/answer with her - travels in a separate plane and is not allowed to watch/report/record her walk the few short steps in to or out of her plane

in actuality, bill 'n hill prefer livery service via yellow cab medallion:

[center][/center]

[Rosa Luxemburg]

71. so has Hillary been riding the subway every day in NY?

[iAZZZo]

73. "so has Hillary been riding the subway every day in NY?"

no

she has, rather, been looking for bernie ever since her early nineties health-care fiasco

[center][/center]

[NWCorona]

45. Come on.. Really?

[drm604]

55. He didn't lie, he was mistaken.

Surely you realize the difference?

He thought that he knew how to get on the subway. Because things had changed, he was mistaken. He didn't know that it had changed. That's a lack of knowledge, not a lie.

[MaeScott]

65. This post is too ridiculous for words.

I think the term is
DBAD

[pangaia]

81. The actual term is fucking stupid.

[EffieBlack]

66. Had Hillary answered the question that way, BS supporters would have been all over her for being

"out of touch."

[Beacool]

25. She's a SS protectee, they don't allow her to drive a car.

[TheDormouse]

38. And Bernie doesn't commute in NYC, so there's no reason he should

know about tokens vs tickets or cards in the Metro.

[Beacool]

70. I didn't say otherwise.

It's not my OP.

[Baobab]

76. Didn't they let Chelsea driver her new beetle?

nt

[wendylaroux]

2. omg,how lame.

[TheDormouse]

11. I kno, right? Grasping at straws ...

[seabeyond]

4. I have been on a subway a couple times myself, I have lived on the west coast a lifetime, lol. Nt

[amborin]

5. so fricking what!

[hollysmom]

6. well,things have changed a lot since he moved away

1. all trains renamed pretty much, routes changed, and tokens have passed to cards, automated ticket booths, I always have a problem because they are charging for these cards now and I don't always ride the subway in the city,I walk a lot and ticket expire, then I have to buy a new one. Annoying.

[zappaman]

7. I hope this gets addressed in the debate.

It's a serious issue for many Americans.

[mhatrw]

8. OH MY GOD!

That is definitely among the biggest issues facing the United States!

[Habibi]

9. Wow, are you serious with this?

[CanadaexPat]

10. As long as he knows how not to start more wars,

all is fine. I'll carry him down Broadway myself.

[yawnmaster]

13. He isn't lying, but he is making assumptions that he knows something that he actually doesn't know..

hopefully, that isn't a pattern.

[baldguy]

15. Man of the people...

Like Poppy Bush seeing scanners at a store check-out for the first time - after they'd been a common sight to Americans for more than a decade.

[grntuscarora]

16. OK this is just a really, really sad OP.

Feeble, pathetic, puling little attack on Bernie.
Just sad.

[Kalidurga]

69. Yes but it's one of Cali's best.

[KingFlorez]

17. Hilarious

He lied and got called out quickly.

[hollysmom]

21. Very interesting definition you have oof lie - ince the subways used tokens most of it's existence

so how it is a lie? more outdated information - lies are people who claim they are progressives when they are not, when they are to the right of Richard Nixon.

edited because I HATE MY KEYBOARD!!!!! HATE IT I TELL YOU. it adds letters, it takes away letter - new keyboard on my list of things to do tomorrow!!!!!!!!!

[KingFlorez]

26. It was a lie

He claimed to have been on the subway a couple of years ago and tokens were not in use then. HE LIED.

[hollysmom]

33. you must be very young, the subway token was in place until about 10 years ago,

i might call it a couple of years ago, that does not always mean 2 years to me. time has a way of flying when you get older.

[JonLeibowitz]

41. Also if he went with his staffer Mike Casca it isn't inconceivable that the staffer handled fares

[DanTex]

42. He said "about a year ago".

[hollysmom]

52. wow, that is right up there with George Bush lying about weapons of mass destruction.

Hell,my dog tells me bigger lies than that not a lie.
Did you go poo down the basement whimper whimper whimper Did you? ouw ouw yno

[DanTex]

57. It's not really a big deal, just kinda funny. He tried to pretend that he's been on the

subway recently, and he hasn't.

[hollysmom]

59. you don't know that, You dont know if he had years mixed up -

when you live over 70 it is very easy I tell you they all sort of blur together, or if someone said they would take care of it for him and he just walked through

when I took my 30 year old niece on the subway recently I paid and swiped for her, it happen you don't always do it yourself. She was just used to taking taxis, but since she lost her job, I was trying to teach her the way to get around cheaper. It didn't take, some young ones are just not savers. (or I am just cheap)

[DanTex]

61. Yeah that's possible too. Still funny. Still not a big deal.

Politicians always try to pretend stuff like this.

[panader0]

22. Extremely childish OP.

"liar liar etc..." Grow up.
So it's been a few years since he rode the subway. Who do you think has ridden the subway more,
Bernie or the queen?

[TheFarS1de]

24. The saddest thing

is the time you took to type this bitter little OP .

[Autumn]

29. What is Hillary's chauffeur's name? Fot that matter what is her cooks or housekeepers name?

What about the gardener's name? Do you know how long ago Bernie lived in NY?

[Carolina]

30. What a pathetic OP

What a pressing issue. I'm sure all of America is concerned that Bernie is not aware that tokens are not longer used. Big woo.

More important to know that than to vote against regime change or forego money from frackers and despoilers of the earth!

[glinda]

31. I used to live in NYC and I am sure I would not know the changes.

[Cha]

32. But, says he does. Hmmmm?

[cosmicone]

35. He could have just said he is a US Senator and hasn't ridden the subway for a long time

but instead .. HE LIED and got caught.

The excuses from his supporters are hilarious!

[longship]

36. And the posts about this are pathetic.

Since when is this an issue? Apparently Hillary Clinton and her lame campaign has no more straws to grasp. BTW, Bernie still flies commercial coach; Hillary flies private jet. Viva la difference!

Birdie Sanders really pissed you guys off, didn't it. I am not sorry about that.

Eat it!

[oregonjen]

51. Ummmm, this may not be NY, but it's DC and Bernie running to catch a train

[jillan]

37. OH NO! He must be deported!!!

[Nanjeanne]

39. Bernie Sanders doesn't know how to crochet an afghan.

[Bad Thoughts]

40. Good job humanizing the opposition! eom.

[NightWatcher]

43. Sniper Fire...

[Logical]

44. OMG, could Cali be any more desperate? nt

[DisgustipatedinCA]

46. Read the rec list. It's always useful to see who is this far gone. No surprises on the short list.

[Greengirlforever]

47. Tokens are still being sold in NYC

Hey, The article is wrong. Don't go all Grandpa on Bernie. The NYC subway page still sells tokens and Metrocards. Take the egg off your face and focus on the real issues. No to Hillary "Ms. Wall Street 2016" Clinton. Ganging up on Bernie shows snarky desperation. Many of the internet stories read like Frat Party 2.0 insults when the writers ran out of legitimate stories. Bernie on a token v. Hillary and her Wall Street Friends and violation of email policies. Are you kidding?
Go Bernie.

[SusanCalvin]

83. You can still use tokens? nt

[ScreamingMeemie]

93. No. Some buses used to take them. I do know Metro had been buying

them back at face value, but they can't be used on the subway. I'm not sure if buses are still taking them in some areas or not.

[beedle]

48. Tell your Mom your diapers need changing

Is this the same top notch interview team that had no clue you can break up monopolies and trusts in America (several paths can be taken) then played it as though not being specific on all the minor details was evidence that Sanders didn't know you can't break up companies for monopolistic and anti-trust activities?

[Karma13612]

49. He was born and raised in Brooklyn

He is a New Yorker.

He hasn't lived there in many years.

I am going to hazard a guess that Hillary doesn't have a clue how to ride the subway or even how to hail a cab in NY. I also would bet she doesn't know how to get around her "OTHER" "HOMETOWNS" without some help too.

The subway/Tube/Undergrounds are very different from one city to another. So what if he doesn't know how to traverse the tube system in NYC today. So what??

But, I bet he could name all the tube stops he used to take all those years ago.

People see him out and about and he is much more accessible than Hillary.

He is closer to the life of the 99% than Hillary has been since she was in her 30's.

[sadoldgirl]

50. I think that Cali_Democrat has become the

best poster for infantile accusations.


thank you for that, I will look forward to the next
"unbelievably important issue" call from you!

[dchill]

54. You've found the lie that will break him!!!

Congratulations!

: puke:

[DesertFlower]

56. i left NYC 26 years ago and have never been back.

even back then i tried to avoid the subway and use the "express bus" to get to and from work. because i lived in forest hills i was familiar with the E and F trains.

[felix_numinous]

58. That does it I'm voting for Trump!

well if Sanders is a mere mortal I'm done.

[matt819]

62. Oh, FFS

I left NYC in 1972. I don't have a fucking clue how to tide the subway. Or the BART in SF. Or the MTA in Boston. So what. Bernie is pretty smart. I'm sure he can figure it out quickly. Please, oh god please, stop this shit!

[Fumesucker]

63. K&R for the effort

Bless your heart.

[JackRiddler]

64. Charming!

[R B Garr]

67. He should have read Subways for Dummies.

[Bluenorthwest]

68. Hillary Clinton does not know the basic history of her own times:

[riderinthestorm]

72. Lol!! Doesn't matter if you pay with a token or a metro card

What matters is if you can figure out your way on the subway. I'm more than confident Bernie can do that.



Really reaching...

[SusanCalvin]

85. Sometimes, yeah. There's some good stuff as well.

Welcome to DU!

[pangaia]

77. Wow. You must be bored out of your skull

[HassleCat]

82. But people continue to ride Bernie Sanders.

For something like not knowing the system changed since he lived there. Proof positive he is unfit to be president. The commander in chief is obligated to know how to ride the transit system in every major city! No compromises!

[Smarmie Doofus]

84. Does Clinton? nt

[ghostsinthemachine]

86. Who gives a flying fuck?

This is so stupid. So stupid. Is it a measure of a president by the simple fact he knows little about antiquated transportation systems upgrade.

[Lancero]

87. Hoping to get some steam behind Subwaygate?

[BlindTiresias]

88. Wow

No words. Truly shallow.

[Lordquinton]

90. lol

[revbones]

91. Maybe, but he knows how to win Wisconsin.

How do you like those apples?

And I'm sure you're really digging how the comments in your OP went, doesn't seem like the fake outrage paid off much this time huh?
