You want to know Bernie’s typical supporter? Visit the University of Vermont, in Burlington. Probably the most liberal University in the US. If it weren’t for Burlington, Vermont would be a very conservative state.
BTW, back in 2009, just happened to be flying to Burlington to visit GDATP. We connected in DC on the day after Obama’s inaugural. Half the airplane was young coed’s who had flown down from Burlington to see The One inaugurated. They had flown in the morning of the inaugural. Attended the inaugural. Stayed up all night because all the hotels were booked. Flew back on our flight. All were totally overwhelmed by The One and couldn’t stop telling us how great he was.
That was the way things were in 1980. You may be right about the university, but every county in Vermont went Democrat in the last two elections. Whatever happened to flip the state is bigger than just Burlington.
