Bernie Sanders' Campaign Drops Tommy Chong as Intro Speaker Hours Before L.A. Rally - Hollywood Reporter

C'mon Bernie!! If you're going to be an outsider candidate then be an outsider candidate!

Besides, just think of all the mileage you can get out of "Feel the Bern" combined with Tommy Chong.

Given that Sanders has already said that he supports making marijuana legal, I don't really see what the issue would be with having Chong as an introducer or why one should suspect that there's a conspiracy against Chong going on. They claim it was a scheduling mix-up, and after his initial huffiness on social media, Chong seems to have accepted this and says he wants to continue supporting the campaign. So, this largely seems like a non-issue.

Having Tommy Chong as Intro Speaker for anything upsets all the right people, Sanders should have kept this.

Y'know, I'd be seriously tempted to support either Tommy Chong or Cheech Marin as a political candidate. Can they keep a cool head under pressure? Just listen to "Sister Mary Elephant" sometime - I can still hear that "ssssssTHUNK" of the knife. And would they know how to cover America's butt to keep from getting us in trouble? Just listen to "Dave's Not Here".

Man, but I do miss hearing their best material!
