2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Did Bernie's wife commit a felony when she secured a loan for Burlington College? [View all]Vinca
(50,761 posts)219. It would be so nice to discuss the issues, but alas . . . it's campaign season at DU.
I can't imagine his wife personally filled out the application. Most likely the underlings in finance did it and she signed it. Wow . . . that sounds just like Hillary's email excuse. In any case, it might be wise to leave spouses alone unless you want to revisit the wild and crazy Clinton White House years, blue dresses and other assorted unimportant items.
