97. His Net Worth is Reported to be 500K+

Sat Feb 20, 2016, 06:24 PM

Feb 2016

How can that be if he has no assets?

"Bernie Sanders’ net worth is $528,014."

http://moneynation.com/bernie-sanders-net-worth/

OTOH, after her unsuccessful 2008 campaign, SHE had up to 65K in CREDIT CARD debt.

"They did, however, have up to $65,000 in credit card debt."

As for one significant thing done in the Senate for Blacks, that's easy: S 815 - Employment Non-Discrimination Act of 2013

There's plenty more where that came from.

Bernie went to jail for defending discrimination against African-Americans, while young Hillary was bouncing around with Goldwater and the Young Republicans.

Enjoy your imperfect relationship! TCJ70 Feb 2016 #2

That is one truly fucked-up thing to say. Codeine Feb 2016 #3

Just reinforces why AAs don't care for Sanders... woolldog Feb 2016 #6

Don't say that, because a lot of us do. JRLeft Feb 2016 #16

and heaven05 Feb 2016 #153

And a lot of us won't show up in the GE for her. (I will it be my last gift to democratic party) JRLeft Feb 2016 #155

We may have to start another party, the democratic party not be JRLeft Feb 2016 #173

THIS Black cares for Sanders. What do you say about me? johnlucas Feb 2016 #41

Sanders is a fraud. woolldog Feb 2016 #46

So, the fraud is someone who even with debts refuses to take "gifts" (BRIBES!) to speak for them?... cascadiance Feb 2016 #70

He's an irresponsible spendthrift in his personal life woolldog Feb 2016 #72

He never got $156,000,000 in speaking fees from corrupt, nation-wrecking institutions. DisgustipatedinCA Feb 2016 #90

Well, if he had just ONE Goldman Sachs speech fee payment he'd then be rich... cascadiance Feb 2016 #91

I trust him more than I trust someone that says she'll never lie to the American nc4bo Feb 2016 #71

Do your research brother. You're wrong. johnlucas Feb 2016 #79

What's with the Soviet Hillary icon? nt TheBlackAdder Feb 2016 #194

I think it look cool. nt woolldog Feb 2016 #195

I like Sanders. I can't stand his arrogant, rude, and often racist supporters. They're no better Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2016 #146

that is counterproductive heaven05 Feb 2016 #156

Whatever you think. I do what I want when I want. I don't need to be lectured to. My primary Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2016 #159

NO heaven05 Feb 2016 #163

Hillary supporters have the same issues, she had plenty of racists on her side. JRLeft Feb 2016 #158

And you know I've spoken on that repeatedly, ad nauseum. Frankly I'm tired of talking about HRC Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2016 #160

Hillary will be the nominee that's a given. I will support her in the GE, and then JRLeft Feb 2016 #161

I appreciate this in fairness. Thank you. Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2016 #180

No problem, my brother. It's all about respect. johnlucas Feb 2016 #181

I'm very much a girl. :) Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2016 #189

I apologize, my sister. I made a hasty assumption based on your profile pic johnlucas Feb 2016 #190

No worries! Ironically, Trayvon Martin's parents are supporting HRC. However, I've had this avatar Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2016 #191

They just don't know her background well enough. They're simply committed to getting a Dem Prez johnlucas Feb 2016 #192

I actually agree with you in general. They may or may not know everything about the two candidates. Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2016 #193

Anecdotal!? uponit7771 Feb 2016 #184

Nah. I wouldn't say that. There's a lot like me out here. johnlucas Feb 2016 #185

Implementation. oasis Feb 2016 #132

She can implement things without BEING president? Ken Burch Feb 2016 #134

She and Bill can line up her potential cabinet etc. oasis Feb 2016 #135

She couldn't have done that in the first place? Ken Burch Feb 2016 #137

Hill had no hard plans on running in 2016. She likely oasis Feb 2016 #144

He should give Bernie supporters some time, a lot of them hate her. JRLeft Feb 2016 #20

From now until November with Ted Cruz and the SCOTUS as oasis Feb 2016 #39

Wait... I thought that the Latino vote went in Sanders' favor?? Number23 Feb 2016 #128

DU polls are unreliable. Especially the polls made up of DU membership. oasis Feb 2016 #129

No, I mean that stories have been posted over and over that say that Sanders won the Number23 Feb 2016 #131

It may have had something to do with Harry Reid getting on oasis Feb 2016 #133

The need to keep that thought at the front of their minds bravenak Feb 2016 #45

According to Kornacki, blacks to Clinton, Hispanics to Sanders. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Feb 2016 #101

Entrance Poll noretreatnosurrender Feb 2016 #103

The exit polls may have been wrong. It appears that Clinton won the Hispanic vote there as well Number23 Feb 2016 #140

That's a pretty stark discrepancy with the entrance polls. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Feb 2016 #143

He didn't win Hispanics last night. He started off doing very well earlier on in the day. Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2016 #145

Yeah, I've seen some very disparate claims since then. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Feb 2016 #147

I don't think we'll know because it's difficult to analyze Latino turnout and actual levels of Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2016 #148

She certainly should have. I was quite dubious about the polls saying he'd tied her going into NV Erich Bloodaxe BSN Feb 2016 #149

If so, then congratulations on your vote to promote a LOWER raise in the minimum wage! cascadiance Feb 2016 #67

She via her surrogates lied about that too. There were campaign pamphlets in NV promoting nc4bo Feb 2016 #76
