The only way to unfeignedly make street cred with New Yorkers is to show them that you sympathise the source of their deepest day-after-day wretchedness . So if presidential candidate want to gain ground New York City , they got ta go underground .
It all started last week when Bernie Sanders — a Brooklyn native ( Flatbush , specifically ) who later moved to Vermont — was interview by theNew York Daily News column board . It was all croak okay until they asked about hispublic transportation habits :
Daily News : I know you ’ve got to go in a mo . When was the last time you rode the subway ? Are you gon na a campaign in the underpass ?
smoother : really we rode the subway , Mike , when we were here ? About a year ago ? But I know how to ride the subways . I ’ve been on them once or twice .
Daily News : Do you really ? Do you really ? How do you ride the metro today ?
Sanders : What do you mean , “ How do you ride the subway ? ”
Daily News : How do you get on the subway today ?
Sanders : You get a token and you get in .
Daily News : Wrong .
electric sander : You alternate over the turnstile .
Daily News : We would wish our photographer to be there when you jump off over the turnstile .
Bernie ! To be comely , Sanders has anincredibly elaborated transportation proposalthat includes a architectural plan for $ 1 trillion ( TRILLION ) to be spent on fixing US transportation base — namely urban subway systems and mellow pep pill rail . Hillary Clinton has a$275 billion plan .
Although smoother recovered well , that gaffe certainly gave Clinton — also a former New Yorker , calculate on who you ask!—the perfect window in which to manifest her public transit art .
This morning , Clinton showed us all that she was in truth of the people by learn the subway . Except , um :
WATCH : In scene many New Yorkers know well , Hillary Clinton runs into trouble getting through the subway turnstile.https://t.co/hcGj0oz4IJ

Someone ask her the last metre she rode the subway , and she calculate it had been “ a class , year and a half ? ” She did care to get a fairly beneficial barb in at Sanders , however :
“ I opine it was my first terminal figure when we changed from item to MetroCards . ”
She ’s right-hand ! Sick burning , Hills !
Then she boarded a Bronx - tie 4 train and ride it … one stop . Presidential campaigner , they ’re just like us !
Now I desire to see them race on Citi Bikes .
