The great thing about being an avowed socialist is that you get to posture as a self-righteous man of the people without foregoing the benefits of wealth. Take the case of Bernie Sanders, whose self-reported net worth was $528,014, yet who just spent a reported $600,000 on a summer “vacation home” with 500 feet of lake frontage on gorgeous Lake Champlain.

What kind of elderly couple spends more than their net worth on a vacation home? Certainly, at a minimum, we can say a couple with no financial worries.

chuckle. He is a communist, remember? Like all “important” communists, what is good for me, is not good for thee. Don’t forget...the communist leaders all had Dackas (SP) somewhere beside their homes in Moscow.

“Well, he did keep most of his campaign donations of 11 mil.”

That’s where I assumed the money came from: Campaign donations. It’s from those pathetic snowflake losers who donated small sums of money to get him elected. He (gladly) accepts their money, drops out of the race too fast and too easily, takes the money, and runs. They have got to feel so betrayed!

That’s it exactly. He still have a treasure trove of campaign cash. What’s left over is his windfall.

I believe hat $375K story is an internet rumor meant to be picked up by the right to make us look foolish.

This was the payoff to Bernie from Hillary to endorse him at the convention.
