"Excuse Me! Shut Up!" says Bernie to his constituents

124. Bernie does hundreds of town halls

I've lived in VT less than three years and have gone to at least three of them. In all, he took questions from anyone and everyone. No one was shy about asking anything and he answered all of the politely. There was one, when after I think the third question on the F35 , he said that he had answered everything he had to say on that and pointed out that he had the ambassador of (I think Denmark) there and the topic of both his talk and the ambassador's was healthcare and he thought it would be better to take advantage of the ambassador to learn more about how it works there.

This is a level of questioning that I doubt HRC has had since Arkansas days! After all, she erupted with anger in the far more formal SFRC hearing room. I know many here liked the show of anger but, I would but her angry "What difference does it make" up against this to any neutral listener.

To me as a newbie to Vermont - (or at least Burlington which some Vermonters have commented "isn't that near Vermont?&quot , one huge difference is how personal connections are to politicians. Both Senators are accessible and so is our mayor. In comparison, though active in my county's Democratic party, I never met Menendez. I met Lautenberg twice and was incredibly impressed.
