In a bit of irony, Sanders millions can be attributed to two strong women.

I would like to thank Clinton and Warren for him. They have set the stage for him to head off into retirement in a cozy waterfront home. He deserves it.

2. Thanks for saving me the time to figure out

how to say the same thing, handmade. I'm afraid my post would not have been as civil as yours.

3. OK, explain how his books sold because of them? I've missed something!

Because thats where most of his money came from far as i know. Bernie taking advantage of the capitalist system!

4. It's pretty obvious.

Had Warren ran there would be no Sanders outside of Vermont. Had Clinton not been running against him, and we had a field like we do now, there would be no book sales. It’s a fair statement and the stars aligned for him. Compare what he was making before and after he ran for President. Including his book sales pre-Presidential ambitions.

You stated it perfectly. He took advantage of capitalist system. Warren not running and the powerhouse they call Clinton created a very active demand among a small segment of society.

5. So no one recalls the National Health agenda Jimmy Carter proposed? How short memory is, eh?

I can recall the debate with Ted Kennedy and Jerry Brown. I recall too the National Energy Policy that would have changed national usage and development in light of the future predicted by GLOBAL WARMING.

The 39th president argued in 1980 for enactment of “an affordable national health plan that will improve Medicare for the elderly, extend protection against catastrophic medical expenses to all of us, improve health coverage for the poor, and provide special benefits to expectant mothers and children in the first years of life.”
