Leftists always become penny pinching misers to anything that they oppose. Wouldn't it be nice if they did that across the board? I'd be fine with that politicians need to pay for government events. But the shallowly obvious stupid crap that people like Bugsy advocate that Republicans only should be paying their own bills is as stupid as it sounds
I agree, Trump could easily pay for his own trip to rallies but the other side will never agree to abide by the same rule.
It would be hard to implement this practise because the president has to have so much security, security that only AF 1 can provide for such events. And it would be hard for them to reimburse the government for their travel expenses. The costs would unbelievable.
Each side just has to suck it up and know that it's going to happen. I find it gratifying that the Libs are upset over Trump's rallies. It especially galls them that he typically draws 20,000 people when their candidate have a hard time filling up a mini-van.
