Bernie Sanders stays at Motel 6 while on the campaign trail (sometimes)

I wonder if he likes them because they sometimes have radiators in which he can dry his two pair of underwear? I say that as a Bernie supporter.


The quirky travel expenses of the 2016 presidential contenders, revealed


By Joey Keeton

As for lodging, who is the only candidate with a Motel 6 receipt? That'd be Bernie Sanders. Only Donald Trump stayed in a Trump hotel, which makes you wonder: Does he stay for free? Or does that break some kind of rule?


Hillary Clinton stayed at a Ritz-Carlton nine times, while Mike Huckabee and Rick Perry stayed only once apiece. (Perry has since dropped out of the race.) Nobody else stayed in a Ritz-Carlton at all, making Clinton somewhat of an outlier, statistically speaking.

From National Journal's graphs, we can see that stays at luxury hotels have been a bit lower than you might expect—but things are still early. The campaign money is split into a lot of fragments, but with each person who drops out, the money gets a little sweeter for everybody else. That's what makes this point in a presidential race so great: Nobody's sure who to endorse, so everybody just gets an equal amount that's high enough for Motel 6s to be avoided (unless you're Sanders, and you just dig Motel 6).

2. Two pair of underwear!?

by the way nothing wrong with Motel 6--I've stayed at a lot of them. All you need is a clean room, bathroom and a comfortable bed for the night.

5. It also helps to bring your own pillow:)

4. I can't believe he supports an anti environmental company like that

Does he have any idea how much energy is wasted with their policy of leaving the lights on for ya?

Boo, Senator Sanders.






















So help me, I hope no one thinks I'm serious.

6. The lights are left on so you dont trip over the bodies:)

7. So he's not

trying to impress upon the world that he's a SUPER ELITE UPPER CRUST BIG SHOT? Not pampering himself with all the lavish excess that great piles of billionaire bucks (Billibucks™) can buy? Doesn't he know that money and image are all that matters in politics?

9. Oh yeah? Hillary stays at Motel 5!

10. The Ritz Carlton?????
