Bernie Sanders ‘Shunned’ His Socialist Friends
daily caller ^ | 07/17/2015

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders “shunned” some of his closest personal friends as he moved away from Vermont socialist circles and into big-time Democratic Party politics, and the resentment still lingers today.

Sanders’ political star is rising as he positions himself as a left-wing alternative to Hillary Clinton. His rallies are drawing major crowds and helping drive the Democratic Party’s voter registration and mobilization efforts among liberals disenchanted by Wall Street-friendly Clinton. But as the media praises Sanders’ “socialist” credentials, socialists in the senator’s home state said there’s no love lost between them.

At this point, IMHO, we should avoid helping Hillary and the DNC destroy Bernie’s appeal and character. No matter if he stole money from the tip jar he is still ethically a billion light years better than Hillary. I know that’s not saying a whole lot, but hey, it’s something.

RummyChick :" what is an “aqua instance” or is that auto correct messing up your sentence."

I saw the correction already.
Maybe what should have been said is that he gets "tingles up his leg"
rather than 'tinkles down his leg, and wears "Depends".
Just a thought, ..now that Bernie has "sold out" to the establishment. !

Article is dated over a year ago. So perhaps this was true at the time.

Yep. Fits the profile. He is one of those people that fully expects that he is going to be one of the people spared the violence and misery caused by socialist policies, because “he agrees with the tyrants”.

When they drag him away, he is more surprised than anyone, screaming “Why are you doing this? I am on your side!”

Pathetic POS.

Amazing that we have fallen so far as a country that roughly 40% of the dem
party support a person whose values are antithetical to the very principles upon which the country was founded.
