One of the reasons Bernie Sanders is doing well with Millennials is because he's promising free college for everyone.

In an ultimate twist of irony, his wife Jane Sanders used to be the head of Burlington College in Vermont and racked up large debts for the small school which almost caused its ruin. Can you say metaphor?

[rktman]

And her severance pkg was in the millions. Odd how this must be just fine and dandy with uncle bernie. Wake up moronials.

[brivette]

are u series?

[Yo-Yo]

I went to the Burlington College website and their motto is "Start A Fire."

Then feel the Bern?

Oh, cool, they also have a Study Abroad program in Cuba!

[rktman]

Why yes, I am series. Can’t find the article I read but if I remember correctly she rec’d a severance pkg over 2 million. Not bad for nearly bankrupting a small college. If I find it I’ll link it.

Destroying education. Even more than Democrats already have. A Sanders family blueprint for higher education.

I’m so sick of this country literally being turned into the Home of the “Free”. Everything is free. God forbid people should work and pay off their own expenses and debt. Back in the day you would work 2 jobs if necessary, or 3. Not anymore. Good old Uncle Sammie will take care of you. Now the burden is on us. The taxpayers paying for the deadbeats! Bullsh*t!

Karl Marx’s biography is sort of similar.

I apololgize. Her pkg was only a little over $200K.

Slightly better than my severance pkg after 36 years with the same company. :>)

He may be a communist firebrand, but if the Republican nominee isn’t Trump or Cruz if he can bring himself to stop shooting himself, I am voting for him.

The Vermont college system is a liberal cronyist joke. A bad joke.

[Travis McGee]

Almost exactly similar.

[Verginius Rufus]

Karl Marx's biography is sort of similar.

Including the illegitimate child. A maid in the Marx household became pregnant--the official story was that Engels was the father (he was unmarried), but it is now believed that Marx was actually the father.

I'd have edited to read 'an angry but lazy' ...agitator.

[ameribbean expat]

So’s Obama’s.

[Travis McGee]

I just copy/pasted it from an article, and trimmed it to fit.

He may be a communist firebrand, but if the Republican nominee isn’t Trump or Cruz if he can bring himself to stop shooting himself, I am voting for him.

Why not write in Billy-Boy Ayers instead? Or Raul Castro? Or one of the Runnin' Reverends, Al or Jesse?

Uhhh...WHAT!?

[AndyJackson]
