On Wednesday, Sanders reminded Clinton of her agreement early this year to hold one more debate before that goldmine of delegates is awarded. So what excuse will Hillary use ? .

B-Man Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 She's got a hair appointment. Sexist ! Someone at the Clinton camp is likely focus testing excuses not to accept the invitation at this very moment. Possible winners: It’s on Fox News, which has a conservative bias; it’s a stunt by a desperate candidate with no chance of winning enough delegates; (my favorite) and Sanders supporters proved in Nevada that they have a “penchant for violence” and her security detail has urged her not to attend.

3rdnlng Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 http://legalinsurrection.com/2016/05/how-bernie-sanders-wife-destroyed-burlington-college/ Politico subsequently released this report in February of this year: What happened at Sanders U. When Jane Sanders was in charge of a small private college in Vermont for seven years, it sank deep into debt while trying to expand its campus. Many students took out tens of thousands of dollars in loans to attend, but their investment was questionable: Only a third of former Burlington College students earn more than the average person with a high school diploma. Jane Sanders’ husband, presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, has offered a higher-education plan that would make tuition at public colleges free. But it would do little to prod colleges, public or private, to keep costs down or ensure that a college degree is worthwhile for graduates. Jane Sanders, who led Burlington College from 2004 to 2011, spent millions on a new campus — 33 acres along the bank of Lake Champlain — to attract more students and donations from alumni. It didn’t work: The college failed to recruit enough students or donations to repay its debts and even came close to losing its accreditation. Coupled with the continuing bad financial news for Burlington College, came allegations from the Catholic Diocese of Burlington, which in April of this year announced they wanted Jane Sanders investigated for fraud. Heat Street reported: Catholic Parishioners: Investigate Bernie Sanders’ Wife for Fraud The diocese did not respond to a request for an interview. But a source with direct knowledge of the diocese’s involvement in the land acquisition says Burlington College almost immediately struggled to meet its obligations. “It was within a relatively short time after closing [the deal], they were experiencing financial problems that made it impossible to pay the diocese,” the source says, adding that Burlington soon went into default mode on its loan. Parishioners now say that to secure loans to buy the land, Ms. Sanders misrepresented the amount that had been pledged to the college in its fundraising push. Additionally, the Washington Free Beacon reported in January of this year that under Jane Sanders’ tenure, Burlington College steered funds to her daughter and a family friend who had been an adviser to Bernie Sanders while he was mayor of Burlington: After working for the campaign, the senator’s wife would come under scrutiny for expenditures at Burlington College, where she was hired as president in 2004. While she led the school, it paid six-figure sums to her daughter and the son of a family friend. Burlington College offered its students a study abroad program in the Caribbean, according to tax filings. It reported spending about $47,000 on that program in the tax year beginning in mid-2008. Around that time, the son of Jonathan Leopold, a Burlington College board member, purchased a small resort in the Bahamas called Andro’s Beach Club and an accompanying hotel, Nathan’s Lodge. Leopold served with Sanders in the Burlington city government—as mayor, Sanders appointed Leopold city treasurer—before becoming embroiled in scandal involving millions of dollars in payments to a Burlington telecommunications company… Her departure was a source of controversy. She reportedly overstated pledged contributions to the school in order to secure a loan from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington. The diocese lost between $1.5 million and $2 million on the deal, according to local reports. By that time, the school had paid huge sums to the Vermont Woodworking School, which is run by Driscoll. The college eventually paid the school more than $500,000 for classes at its Fairfax, Vt., campus, about 30 miles from Burlington. Burlington College even established a Master of Fine Arts program in woodworking with leased space at the school as its major facility. Tax filings show that the college continued paying the woodworking school in the year after O’Meara Sanders left, but stopped doing so the year after that. As of yesterday, 5/16/16, Burlington College has announced that it will close at the end of this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drinkTHEkoolaid Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I can't imagine how Clinton will get any Bernie supporters in Nov. The only way would be to have Elizabeth Warren as her VP The convention will be one for the books The D convention is shaping up to be more dysfunctional than the R convention and that's hilarious.

tomato can Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 In 1998, then Representative Bernie Sanders cosponsored and actively ushered a bill through Congress that would allow Vermont and Maine to dump their nuclear waste in the poor disadvantaged Hispanic community of Sierra Blanca, Texas. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/2/8/1481494/-Sierra-Blanca-Bernie-Sanders-Paul-Wellstone-a-Poor-Minority-Community-and-a-Nuclear-Waste-Dump The Sanders’ have partially released their 2014 tax return and on the return, Jane Sanders is still drawing a salary as an alternate commissioner for the Texas Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Compact Commission. (TLLRWD Commissioner) This is the commission that oversaw the Sierra Blanca dump site, that Sanders voted for and also voted to strip out the Wellstone amendment in conference. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/4/16/1516075/-Sanders-are-still-profiting-from-Sierra-Blanca-nuclear-waste-dump-per-their-2014-tax-return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starrymessenger Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Just goes to show that Bernie's true constituents are aging hippies and youngsters lining up at the public trough with their hands out and who, in the latter case, will likely have an entirely different agenda and voting preferences in five or ten years. The pied piper of Vermont will lead them all over a pier, and the sooner the better. Plus he's a hypocrite: family income puts him in the 1 to 2 pc that he rails against. He pays tax at roughly 1/2 the effective rate the "millionaires and billionaires" do. He's filed two summary pages from his 2014 tax returns - thats it. He rails against Wall Street. He doesn't understand Wall Street. He doesn't even know what agencies regulate financial institutions, nor what the powers of the Treasury Secretary are to break up big banks. This level of ignorance from a guy whose made a career of flogging "motherhood" issues like Wall Street bashing for decades. He against the political establishment. Oops he is the political establishment. Probably has never had a real job, which is what explains his hostility to people who have actually earned what they have and why he fails to understand what really has made America great- individual initiative and enterprise - the golden goose that he is out to serve up to his rabid supporters with the expectation that they can live off forever without actually contributing anything themselves except places around the table. Truth is Bernie Sanders is a joke, and a bad one at that. He will be relagated to the dust bin of history, and hopefully with the legacy that he actually deserves.
