He Was Basically a Deadbeat

There is no way around Bernie Sanders' distant past.  The ONLY real jobs he ever held were those as mayor, then representative, and finally senator.  Before that, he was an outright bum.  One would argue, given his almost total lack of accomplishment in thirty years in Congress,  that he still IS a bum.  Sanders embodies every single stereotype of a 1960s New Leftist and hippie.  ALL of them, plus a few more he came up with.

He is going to get nailed hard on this.  This article from about five years ago talks about the murky past where he never held a real job until he was close to forty years old  and was basically a deadbeat dad to his son.  The son's mother had to live on welfare and had trouble renting an apartment.  That story is not in the article but mentioned elsewhere.

He shared custody of his son in an informal arrangement with Mott, according to people who knew them. “She was around a lot,” Nancy Barnett, a friend who lived nearby, told me. Barnett called Mott “a pretty quiet, private person.” Sanders rented a small brick duplex at 295 1/2 Maple Street that was filled with not much furniture and not much food in the fridge but stacks of checked-out library books and scribbled-on legal pads. His son, who called his father “Bernard,” had an upstairs bedroom.

“Pretty sparse,” Gene Bergman, an old friend, said about the apartment.

“Stark and dark,” said Darcy Troville, a fellow Liberty Unionite who lived around the corner and shared with Sanders homemade jellies and jams.

“The electricity was turned off a lot,” Barnett said. “I remember him running an extension cord down to the basement. He couldn’t pay his bills.”

Sanders wasn't born in a log cabin, so he can't compare himself to Abe Lincoln.

Expect a lot of these video nuggets to continue to surface as this guy gets seriously vetted:



This man was allowed to run as a Democrat, a party he despises.
