42. Being in politics as a Senator from Vermont is not one that

brings a whole lot of public scrutiny. Bernie is to a greater extent ignored by his Senate colleagues (only one of whom have seen fit to support him), has authored no legislation of great import and his only 'power' is being from a small state that worships nonconformity for nonconformity's sake which pretty much guarantees his reelection until he wants to quit.
