In reply to the discussion: A tale of two leaders of the left: New books by Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton [View all]Demsrule86
(70,679 posts)34. Why another deserving person made a great deal of money last years. Good for Sen. Sanders!
It is nice to see progressive books enjoying this much success.
"...The popular Independent(Bernie Sanders) who was further catapulted into the spotlight during his 2016 bid for the Democratic presidential nomination made more than $1 million last year, according to his most recent U.S. Senate financial disclosure released Sunday. The majority of his income came from book royalties, most notably a $795,000 advance for his recently published "Our Revolution." Released a week after President Donald Trump was elected in November, the book quickly became a best-seller."

No, from your link (did you read it or cherry pick it?) she says to vote for Clinton.

How calculated and self-serving to reserve plausable deniability for herself.
