Sanders' Secret Service still costing taxpayers $40K a day

[ckf]

WASHINGTON -

They carved a path for Bernie Sanders. In some of the biggest crowds of the presidential campaign, his Secret Service detail was always close. Those rallies are over now. Sanders is back in the Senate. His agents? Still right by his side. And American taxpayers are picking up the tab.

Sanders won't be the nominee. He's finally even said so himself.

"It doesn't appear that I'm going to be the nominee," Sanders said.

Yet his protection is costing at least $40,000 a day, a federal official told CNN. That's more than a half-million dollars since the last primary June 14. If he doesn't formally drop out until the convention, the total price tag will be nearly $2 million.

A spokesman for Sanders declined to discuss his security or its cost. The senator did, too.

"I think security is probably something we shouldn't be talking about too much," Sanders said.

But many of his fellow senators are talking about it. Several told CNN privately they are stunned to see Sanders at the capitol with such an entourage.

"I love Bernie, he's a good senator. He has certainly contributed in this presidential campaign, but it is now time for him to stand down," said Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Florida.

Security precautions are always sensitive. So many senators did not want to place blame on Sanders, but they said it's incumbent on him to get out of this race soon to support Hillary Clinton and send the Secret Service back to their other assignments.

There is fee schedule that campaigns have had to use for figuring out the reimbursement that the government receives for flying a candidate on Air Force One, that schedule I believe goes back to the 1970's.

Like past administrations, Obama could offset some of the price-tag by combining political travel with official events, which are paid for by the government. The formula breaking down campaign and official costs, however, has been kept secret by White Houses going back to the 1970s.

It's really pretty good to be the candidate of the party that has a popular outgoing president.

IDK, there are certain things I like about Trump and then there is all the bullshit he spews that is never going to happen, but more than anything what concerns me with Trump is that he will decide to delegate his duties to his VP and we saw the results of that in 2000-2006; next we have the former Young Republican who is probably more conservative and hawkish than the Manhattan Madman.

I'll have to wait and see the VP choices and how the debates come out, in 2008 I was a strong backer of McCain as I was in 2000, but once I saw his VP choice talk to Katie Couric in 08 I was like you gotta be fuckin jokin me.
