Sure, it was mildly amusing during the New Hampshire primary when MSNBC host Christopher Hayes flubbed Bernie Sanders’ name, accidentally referring to the progressive socialist from Vermont as “Bernie Sandwiches.” Hayes had an excuse, though. (You can guess for yourself why Chris Matthews also slipped up and referred to “Barry Sanders.”)
In my defense I was literally watching people being served dinner when I said #BernieSandwiches

He’s lucky to have survived the Great MSNBC Purge of 2015.

iTunes advises that the game offers in-app purchases, but after Sanders is elected president, those will all be free.
