Quote:Bernie Sanders has been a Senator for 9 years, was in the house for 16 before that, and from what I understand, he was basically close to being a homeless bum for the majority of his adult life. He didn't have his first real job until he was around 40. He's also not a lawyer, so you've really bought into a narrative about your icon that's chalked full of misinformation.


Considering he reported his NET WORTH to be right at $160k when he threw his hat in the ring for the presidency, there's certainly room to question how he's able to afford a THIRD home, not in Vermont, but in Ohio.


$600k is a lot for anyone who hasn't sold out, but he didn't seem to have a problem plunking down the money. So much for being a champion for the little guy.

Lol, you got me on the lawyer thing, I just assumed he was one.


So he just pulled this money out of thin air? That does seem fishy.


Is it possible he had some other asset he sold off to buy this new house?


I mean, wouldn't some one that got paid off by a political machine worth hundreds of millions and had also raised hundreds of millions be able to buy something more than a modest 600k home? In Ohio, for crying out loud?!


Are you sure there's not a more reasonable explanation?
