Is Bernie Sanders going to skydive into his rally tonight?
The Week
Bernie Sanders might be skydiving into his rally in Cloverdale, California, this evening and no, this is not a drill. Apparently Sanders' staffers told the president of NorCal Skydiving, Jimmy Halliday, that the 74-year-old candidate is being offered a chance to enter the rally at the Cloverdale Municipal Airport in a rather unprecedented fashion.
"I've been told they will run the idea by Bernie. I can't confirm that's the plan. I know that's a possibility," Halliday told The Press Democrat.
Halliday offered that if Sanders does end up skydiving into the rally, "I will personally take him." Halliday has already done a tandem jump with a Sanders campaign team member, and it all went well.

Yeah I dunno. Could be awesome, or it could look like this.
What a bummer: No, Bernie Sanders will not be skydiving into his California rally tonight

Any hope that Bernie Sanders might skydive into his campaign rally in Cloverdale, California, Friday was promptly crushed by the lamestream media.
No, Sanders press secretary texted Politicos Daniel Strauss. He is not.

And he continues to become more and more of a joke. What a pathetic ploy for attention.

That would be pretty cool! Solo would be better than tandem tho but that's not happening

I don't think "stunt" entrances are a good idea, for any politician. n/t

Ok that made me laugh. I think the trebuchet has an equal chance with the sky dive.

Bernie refused to call on his supporters to stop launching small children from trebuchets

After that, what's to do but give a speech in response to Hillary's on foreign policy.
