Bernie Sanders is the "Shadow President"
Exile News Service ^ | 12/8/2016

Posted on 12/08/2016 10:39:54 AM PST by tekrat

From this article on 2paragraphs.com:

As Donald Trump travels the country on his "Thank You" tour, appearing at large rallies, Sanders is on what seems like a shadow tour. It's interesting to consider that Sanders, proven a big draw like Trump, could occupy a sort of "Shadow President" role after a divided election that saw the Democratic candidate win the popular vote over the President-elect.
From what I can tell Bernie is turning into a more couth version of Cindy Sheehan. He's going follow Trump where ever he goes to get his message out.

Bernies plan is to follow Trump's initiatives and talk about he would do it better. This is genius. It keeps his face and message out among the people in a positive manner. If his health holds out (he is 75 years old now) he may have solid shot at a serious at then next presidency. Otherwise he could use this time to preen his successor for the next presidential.

You have to admit, Bernie is a 100x more likeable and trusted the the Clinton dynasty.  I might even think about buying his just to hear his side of the story.

If Sanders gets in the way, Trump will shine a light on that.

We already had two shadow presidents.
One was Hillary during the Clinton years Jan1993 - Jan2001
The other was Val Jarret.

Chuck Manson was only 50x as likeable and trustworthy as Clinton.

I subscribed to hiw twitter feed to see what Bernies is up to and I have to say, he’s developed a Trump-like ability to use it.

I thought Sanders was a Senator. Doesn't he have a full-time job to worry about?

“If his health holds out (he is 75 years old now) he may have solid shot at a serious at then next presidency.”

Hmmm, he’s 75 years old now; that would make him 79 when next running for Prez, and 80 years old when he took office. I don’t think so....

Watch one of the liberal tv nets come out with a show with Bernie as president and Gore as VP? Or Illiarily as POTUS!

The mentally ill libs will watch the tv show and feel like they are watching their president.

I’m imagining the deep voice of the Movie Trailer Announcer:

“In a world ... where capitalism has triumphed ... where greed and gluttony as seen as the highest values ...and community activists live in fear of the knock on the door ... one man holds the key ... one man stands between us and total tyranny ...

Bernie Sanders is ... the Shadow President!”

>Straighten out the typos, and the guy that wrote this lead article comes across as much a communist as Sanders.

You’d think so, wouldn’t you? Of course, if serving the people as a US Senator does not involve enough work to fill a person’s schedule, perhaps we should cut the salary and benefits associated with the position by 50% or so.
