The special was a large 3-topping for $7.99. So by spending about $150 Sanders gets some positive media exposure. Were the pizzas paid by Bernie himself or through campaign donations?

It's nice to know that the miners ate well for one night (although I can eat a large by myself if I don't have any other meals during the day).

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
