According to a new book, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) enjoys flying in private planes and has multiple travel requirements, with specific hotel demands reminiscent of high end celebrities that if not met cause the democratic socialist politician to utter statements such as “You don’t want me to sleep tonight?”
In an excerpt from his latest book, “Battle for the Soul: Inside the Democrats’ Campaigns to Defeat Trump,” Edward-Isaac Dovere writes that after Sanders finished surprisingly strongly in the 2016 presidential campaign, his staffers created a “Senator Comfort Memo” describing his detailed needs for hotel rooms during his campaign stops and travels.
According to the New York Post, the book details how Sanders asked for hotel suites with bathtubs and king-size beds with a “down comforter or another blanket in the closet. He preferred that the extra blanket be dark blue, and made of cotton.”
He also insisted that the temperature in his room be kept at 60 degrees, and would demand that a window be open even during winter or ask to have the hotel’s climate control system manually overridden.
Dovere writes about a stop in California where a hotel employee was not able to adequately adjust the temperature in the room to Sander’s preferred level.
According to the book, “There was no bending the rules: once on a stop in California, annoyed that his aides couldn’t get the temperature below 65, he had them call the woman from the front desk up to change the thermostat while he sat on the bed, watching. She couldn’t get it to work, and nervously humiliated, she apologized. Sanders didn’t care. ‘So, Chloe,’ he said, annoyed. ‘You don’t want me to sleep tonight?’”
The author also details how Sanders would buff up his populist image by refusing room upgrades and would sometimes change rooms with aides, saying to them, “If there’s a bomb in there, it’s yours tonight.”
The book also recounts how Sanders was a frequent flyer on private planes where he also had a list of very specific requirements, reported Fox News.
“Charter flights were a revelation to him. He would always be a little embarrassed pulling into the private terminals, but boy, did he get a kick out of not worrying about being late for a flight that couldn’t take off without him,” the book recounts. “By the beginning of 2017, his staff had put together a document laying out his minimum requirements for the kind of aircraft he’d require if asked to go on trips beyond his regular route back and forth between Vermont and Washington. Couldn’t be too cramped. Couldn’t get too bumpy.”
“Hotel rooms had to be away from elevators and from ice machines, so that quiet was guaranteed,” the book states.
Sanders also allegedly insists that all pamphlets and promotional material be removed from his hotel rooms, and insists on always having a fan, even going as far as having an aid buy one during a blizzard.
The “Senator Comfort Memo” also instructs staffers to make sure his hotel rooms or rooms at events are stocked with specific drinks and snacks, including green tea with honey, chocolate chip cookie baskets for delivery, Gatorade and cans of assorted nuts.

Won’t catch that boy at a Motel 6 even if they do leave the light on for him. This reminds me of the song, “Life’s Been Good To Me” sung by Joe Walsh and The Eagles.
So, he likes to fly in private jets—those use fossil fuels, right Bernie? And even have to have indoor climate change battles! I like the one about switching rooms with an aide in the event there is a bomb in Bernie’s designated room, the aide can have it
No doubt, somebody could write a book on this kind of stuff characterizing every Congress person and it would be quite entertaining, albeit ridiculous
OF course he does. LIKE THE celebs, he thinks they are ABOVE we the people…
I wonder what Komrad Bernie will do when (no, just IF!) the ambient temp gets up there in the 80s & 90s and STAYS there? (In Texas, we call that moderate!) Will he then demand some sort of temp-controlled ‘hazmat’ suit, to protect his delicate nature? And who will be delegated to trundle after him with the battery supply to power it? Volunteers, anyone?…..ANYONE?
Who does Bernie Sanders think he is, Nancy Pelosi or Kamala Harris , Oh, I forgot,Bernie Sanders is a part of the elite Marxist Democrat hierarchy ,Smll Me !!
Total comfort for the upper echelon communists, like Sanders and the little people can go to you know where. Bread lines for the little people / proletariat in a communist society, but private jets for the privileged like Bernie Global Warming Sanders.
Bernie commends Socialist regimes like Russia. Obviously he assumes that he would be part of the ruling oligarchy and privy to the perks of wealth and power that would entitle him to. He could care less about the subjects who would be doing the work and only getting the leftovers.
He doesn’t need to assume that. HE IS ALREADY LIVING PROOF of that oligarchy..
of course then there was donald trump who you degenerates just love, goes to a restaurant , has hand sanaitizer delivered to the table immediately, chilled diet coke in long neck bottle with or without ice delivered to table with highball glasses, 7 step process for pouring the coke shirmp cocktail served immediately, and dont let anyones steak be bigger then his. yep, these larger then life princes who look down at the little people who pay taxes and think they are all chumps
With that comment about “DEGENERATES” which I find VERY INSULTING, I cannot imagine how ANYBODY gave you even ONE STAR, for the pack of lies that you posted !
And you z” Democrats, always practiced what you preached…to others.
Politicians, ” If their lips be moving they be… Telling lies….
It’s easy to be a socialist when you’re rich or can live off the largess of others, for those who work under the system they will just continue to work under the system and never experience that freedom!
He’s one of the richest commie socialists and ******* about capitalism. Hyper Hypocrite.
BUT like always, THEY WILL NEVER GIVE OF THEIR OWN money, to raise others up.. THEY TAKE FROM others to give to others still.
“You don’t want me to sleep tonight?’” ????/ No Bernie we want you to sleep comfortably, tonight, preferably with the Fishes. You fear being close to the ICE machines, because ICE may just be coming for you to be sent back where your real dual Citizenship and heart lie,,,,,Russia.
Typical socialist. Everybody needs to give it all to the state, and get what the state says you deserve, except for me…I get extra to live high on the hog at your expense.
To each according to their needs…says comrade Bernie
IN HIS case, its “To each according to their WANTS!, not needs”
All Marxist elites think that suffering and giving things up are for the proletariat and not those in the higher eschelons of the party. I’m not at all surprised Bernie has such demands.
I am just surprised SO MANY BUSINESSES cave into those demands.
YES, Bernie is DEFINITELY a HYPOCRITE ! He preaches Socialism but wants to live a very UPSCALE life himself. What a piece of human garbage.
He is a cold-hearted demon.
Bernie Sanders , just another arrogant socialist donkey hole!
Sounds about like a communist/socialist to me.
gee, who would have thunk it? Bet his communist peer old Liz Warner does pretty much the same thing. We all already know all about Pelosi and her perks in flying because of being a power in the left wing socialists party. The citizens of this country better wake up to the fact that liberalism/socialism will destroy this country.
I believe that most intelligent people already know that, it is only the ignorant fools that don’t understand that fact !
The socialists/ Marxists democrats galaxy believe, ” Don’t do as I do, but do as I say” but there’s the quote thatnsay, ” Fool me once shame on you…. that, I believe is their down fall…
The Bern is a classic Kommisar in Brooks Brothers clothing. His wife is reminiscent of Kruschev’s bride….
I guess the “assorted nuts” might be his staffers as much as anything….
Bernie, we ALL want you to sleep at night. We just don’t want you to wake up, EVER!
And preferably do it OVER IN China, which you love so much!
Old Bernie, He sings a good song, He’ s Mad as H#l The way that. They’re treating you, the voiceless, and he’n n t going to just stand by and let them get away with it!!!
Biggest hypocrite. Since he “cares” about the little people maybe he could share his elitist High on the horse, lifestyle with the minions. Since he cares about where the little people live, maybe he can put them up for free at one of his multiple houses, help feed them, cloth them and help pay for their free education. Then after he dies he could be buried in a cheap cemetery in his favorite country Russia with the common people he adores.
Ah, Dacha Sanders. I’m not surprised. How about you?
Demo rat/Socialist, Marxost, mad man, Bernie Sanders, with his 3944 different homes h?e owns shouts, none of that for the common citizen, they don’t to all that,but I do, never mind!!I’m looking out for you, every day… Never mind me conrade!!
Bernie Sanders 3 or 4 different houses…Never mind, I’M looking out for you!!!
SINCE there are folk who still can’t afford ONE Home, the point is stil there.. HOW DARE HE own 4+, while telling us to ‘tighten OUR belts”!
He requested cans of assorted nuts? Very appropriate.
I’m sure he was raised as a spoiled brat, and still is one. Typical socialist…
