sanders resolve not to accept his loss will more than likely effect any changes he would like to

see happen... I think the backlash will be so severe that many of his ideas will be tossed. I think after Novemeber, no matter if hillary or trump wins...he will be kicked off all committees in the senate unless he caucuses with the conservatives....which maybe that is his goal in the first place....and reward??


pretty much the end of sanders and the national limelight unless he gets a job with foxnews

1. Oh, he going to do heavy stuff on the speaking tour scene. I believe that is what he is after

in the long run. His wealth envy has been paramount and his only way to achieve the wealth he says he hates is to do speaking engagements and book tours. He will charge five figures for his speeches (like $90k) so he can claim not to be charging "outrageous" fees like Hillary but he will be doing many of these engagements. He wants and needs the money to leave an estate to his and Jane's offspring. He doesn't fool me for one moment.

If you examine his first 50 years of eligibility for gainful employment you will see what I mean. He is basically a grifter, and state welfare recipient. His only meaningful salaries have come from public service jobs. He may be fooling the rest of the world but not me.

4. He would have to wait until he isn't a congressman in order to get paid.

George W thought he was going to give speeches but he does not seem to be in demand. How many times will Sanders get paid to give the same speech.

He could have done good but made it about his ego instead of reality.
