11. What happens to Sanders campaign if his tax returns show he's a millionaire? He loses credibility as

a working class political rebel and he becomes the very millionaire he's been railing against. Sanders needs a heckuva lot more vetting and it's long past due for that. He should get the same vetting Hillary Clinton's been subject to, but to date, he's only been skimmed over.

Then again, if the press vetted him as they'd vetted Hillary Clinton, there'd be nothing left of him. Good thing for the Democratic Party, Democrats (elected and not elected), and the country, but bad for viewer ratings, the GOP, and other miscellaneous Republicans. Can't have that in the United States, can we?
