Keeping up with his ‘man of the people image‘ Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders has purchased this third house, a $600,000 lakefront vacation chalet in Champlain Islands.

Part of the traditional campaign negotiations between various camps is the willingness of the endorsed candidate to absorb the campaign debt of the endorser. The tighter the race, the more value is assigned to it. Subsequently, it shouldn’t necessarily come as a surprise to see Sanders financially benefiting from his endorsement of Hillary Clinton. How else does a Senator afford three homes on a congressional salary.
Senator Sanders owns one house in Washington DC and another house in Vermont; the $600k vacation home becomes his third, albeit ‘seasonal’, residence:
(Via Seven Days Independent) […] The Burlington resident last week plopped down nearly $600,000 on a lakefront camp in North Hero.
Sanders’ new crib has four bedrooms and 500 feet of Lake Champlain beachfront on the east side of the island — facing Vermont, not New York. The Bern will keep his home in Burlington and use the new camp seasonally.

Well, they must all be feeling the Bern now!
It’s Vermont, not Malibu.
In Texas, lakefront goes for $10,000k a foot minimum just for the land. The house is extra.
It IS Vermont prices. FYI, do a search for real estate near Bernie’s new digs.
I'm absolutely sure that money did not change hands in the Witch/sanders battle ending with his glowing endorsement...I think.....
