Bernie's real prize is the speakiing engagements and book deals he is looking to hoist him

and Jane into the 1%. Don't fool yourselves. Bernie's wealth envy is evident. Remember, he didn't work at a real job until he was 40 years old. His socialist ideas are more in keeping with entitlement for government to take care of everything.

He is 70+ now, not much in retirement from government salary that is much to depend on and he has a grandchildren and a son and family to provide for his family legacy. You will see Bernie accepting YUgee speaking fees, and signing huge book deals as soon as the convention is over...he doesn't have much time to waste.

It sounds crass, but you all know it is true. Running for President is Bernie's quickest way to the wealth he says he abhors for others. Book mark this and come back in a year. And, if Goldman will invite him, he will speak.

I call it wealth envy. Listen closely to what he says and how he says it and to whom he says it. The wealth gap is how he started out his campaign...Wall Street and the banks. His social justice issue except for freeing pot from the controlled substance list came much later when he found that several prominent black anti-Obama-anti-Clinton folks would support him. They largely changed the focus of his campaign message or at least added to it.

Now if you can find this not to be true, then color me repentant.
