I know he said that he was sharing his health info but in the article he says he’s shared all he’s gonna share...so hard to know.
i think he has a lot to hide about health - his face got so red last night and he seemed uneasy...

oh my!
hillary doesn't need him! he had little interest in even putting up a fight last night ... no way he can take on T.... i think hill will get nomination and she will pick a woman for all female ticket - maybe warren after last night?
i read they are friendly and have been in regular contact...
and they both do not like bern it seems...
I could see a Hillary/Warren ticket but could it beat trump? Would she still need a man in her ticket to win? Someone like pence who has no meaning but to back her up?

Ya, he’s not being forthcoming about his health...but if you want to win..can you? You’d really have to be looking at his VP then.

i think hill can win and will start war if she does ... otherwise t will
i think hillary will pick a woman to change things up and her pick last time was awful and gained her zero votes ..

The one thing about politicians is even though they are cutthroat to win a race..they always seem to come back together in the end...even democrat/republicans.

Its called hypocrisy isn’t it?
No actually it’s not. He never said he thinks everyone should be poor. He said EVERYONE deserves a higher standard of living. And that he wealthy should pay their fair share of taxes. Which he does.

Show me the hypocrisy.

He shared all his damn health info. The reports from his heart attack, almost 30 years of reports from his dc doctor and affidavits from Vermont’s two top cardiologists. Just shut up.

What he’s saying is I believe in capitalism for me..but not for you. Voting for him doesn’t give you the ability to make a higher standard of living..it just keeps you equally poor because eventually you run out of other people’s money. He will get his wealth and make it hard for the next person to get theirs since we all have to be equal. And who said that we all have to be equal anyway? I’ve always heard that life isn’t fair.

He isn’t a communist Lisa. He’s a democratic socialist. Democratic socialist countries still have capitalism. It’s just regulated to ensure that the absurd distribution of wealth and injustice seen in our country doesn’t happen.

And yeah, voting for him does give me the opportunity to have a higher standard of living. I’d have health insurance for the first time in a decade to start. My wages would go up. I’d be able to take a paid sick day here and there. Possibly it would help with my student loans, but if not that’s fine too.

He would be a hypocrite if he was trying to deny people of what he has. That isn’t the case. He would be a hypocrite if he was talking about people paying fair taxes and he wasn’t doing so. That isn’t the case. Him owning a couple homes he bought with money he honestly earned and paid taxes on after a lifelong career does not make him a hypocrite. Your just too dense to understand.

Bernie Sanders is a Senator from Vermont, so it is no wonder that his new house is in his home state. The $575,000 home sits alongside a lake in the Champlain Islands, in tiny North Hero, Vermont. The Sanders family will enjoy 500 feet of lake beachfront. Bernie and his wife Jane have reportedly vacationed in the area many times over the past several years and will enjoy spending more quiet time there. The Sanders paid cash for the house – a combination of proceeds from the sale of Jane’s share of a family home, money from Jane’s retirement account, and an advance from Bernie’s book deal.
The Burlington Colonial Home
Bernie Sanders was the mayor of Burlington, Vermont, before becoming one of the state’s two Senators. He bought his Burlington Colonial home in 2009 for just over $400,000. The property is the Sanders’ primary residence, though it is sometimes used as a rental.
The Washington, D.C. Rowhouse
Bernie Sanders’ third home is a functional and strategic holding. Working in D.C. for many months each year, as Sanders does, it only makes sense to own a home there to avoid a killer commute. The 1890 rowhouse cost Sanders $489,000, and it is located only three blocks from the capital. It has appreciated to a value of $562,500 in 2019.
Bernie’s Real Estate Debt
While Sanders was able to pay cash for his third home, he is conventionally leveraged for the other properties. He has between $250,001 and $500,000 in mortgage debt, and his two mortgages are 30 years in duration. Bernie Sanders made $400,000 in book royalties in 2018. His real estate holdings may seem like slightly much for a principled Socialist, but they look just right for an aging couple nearing retirement.



^ none of the above homes are flashy millionaire, greedy mother fucker homes. Every single one of them serves a valid purpose and was acquired later in life as the result of a lifelong career, an inheritance, and sales from a book. Show me he didn’t pay the required taxes on any of these things and we can have a conversation. Until then just stop your nonsense.

I hear Russia is planning on trying to encourage others to vote for Trump in 2020. They want Trump to win re-election.
