Okay, I admit it. Bernie Sanders is doomed. David Brock, dirt-digger extraordinaire, and the Clintons have unloaded their dossier of oppo research on Sanders, and he is just completely and totally screwed. And Brock isn’t finished!
Sanders may as well pack it in and head back to Vermont.
The last few days have brought scores of stories about Sanders’ sinister past. Just a few examples from Brock’s incredible investigatory cornucopia:
Kibbutz members interviewed this week by Israeli and American Jewish news organizations said they did not remember Mr. Sanders specifically.
…
Mr. Ely said that on Sha’ar Ha’amakim, “you care about your brother or your neighbor or whoever it is.”
…
Volunteers like Mr. Sanders would have internalized a political imperative to improve the lot of other, Mr. Ely said.
“I know that we left an imprint on those people,” Mr. Ely said. “The imprint was believe in people, and be responsible for them. Not only for yourself.”
A socialist kibbutz! For several months! In 1963! Did you get that?

In recent years, Sanders has been billed as one of the hosts for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee's retreats for the "Majority Trust" -- an elite group of top donors who give more than $30,000 per year -- at Martha's Vineyard in the summer and Palm Beach, Florida, in the winter. CNN has obtained invitations that listed Sanders as a host for at least one Majority Trust event in each year since 2011.
…
Sanders has been an Independent while in Congress, but has caucused with the Democrats since he was elected to the Senate in 2006, helping them maintain their majority for eight years.
Michael Briggs, a Sanders spokesman, said Sanders has "raised more money for the Senate Democrats than almost any other member of the Senate Democratic caucus" because he sees helping the party regain the majority as critical.
…
He paid dues to the DSCC, too, with his Progressive Voters of America political action committee cutting checks for $30,000 to the group during the 2014 election cycle.
Sanders’ attempts to build a Democratic majority in the Senate are absolutely despicable! Especially since he’s not even a Democrat, as so many have pointed out here! (Over and over.) The scoundrel! He’s toast!

Voters should be grateful for the government transparency laws that required Senator Bernie Sanders, a rival to Hillary Rodham Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination, to reveal how much he made last year in speaking engagement fees. The total is $1,867.42 for three appearances, a grand sum that is chump change in presidential politicking but enough for the senator to respectably donate the money to charity.
What is telling about this nugget is that nowhere in the story does it list the charities that received all or part of Sanders’ $1.867.42! What is he hiding????
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sanders is such a loser, that his total net worth is less than what Hillary made for three speeches to Goldman Sachs. (You know, the ones she doesn’t want anyone to read.)
Bernie Sanders’ net worth is $528,014.
…
- Out of 100 U.S. Senators, Bernie Sanders’ net worth is #86.
-
Bernie Sanders net worth vs Hillary Clinton net worth: 47 times smaller.
-
Bernie Sanders net worth vs Bill & Hillary Clinton net worth combined: 230 times smaller.
He’s not #100 among fellow senators! What a phony! What a fraud! Faker!

Sanders lives in an “hermetically-sealed box.” (Bill Clinton revealed THIS today!)
"Hillary's opponent has a different view," Clinton said, declining to mention Sanders by name. "It's a hermetically sealed box. It's very effective.”
…
Clinton was particularly animated when referencing a CNN report about how Sanders has been a prolific fundraiser for the Democratic Party -- meaning he has hobnobbed with the millionaires and billionaires, including some in the financial sector, he regularly rails against.
Some scruffy guy who lives in an “hermetically sealed box,” and has a net worth of far less than three of Hillary Clinton’s closed-door speeches to Goldman Sachs, and who raises money to help Democrats hold onto the Senate, and who lived on a socialist kibbutz in 1963 that preached improving the lot of others… This guy wants to be the Democratic Party nominee?
Seriously?
Keep it coming, David Brock and Bill and Hillary! Let’s send this clown packing!
We can’t have a chump like this as a nominee. Think of the embarrassment. Think of the shame.
Think of the decency.
