What Bernie Sanders Is Like In Private

[sammythecat]

35. So we don't want to have a beer with Bernie Sanders? Is that it?

If I'm running a campaign for president I need to be ready every day. None of these things here seem at all unreasonable, so you probably wouldn't want to have a beer with me either. I don't want to hear about your grandkids. One half second after you're finished I'll completely forget about them. I really don't care. I'm in the middle of the most important event of my life. I have a hell of a lot on my mind and a lot of things to do today.

60 degrees sounds fine to me. I hate a warm bedroom. I keep a fan running in my room year round for white noise. Helps me sleep better. Might not work for you, but it works great for me. Good sleep is essential and if I have to be on top of my game every single goddamned day, I want to have a good nights rest. We all would have different wants and if we were in the middle of a presidential campaign we'd want them. Books in the room don't bother me, if they bother Bernie (I really doubt this is accurate) who gives a fuck.
Ever hear a commercial ice machine when it kicks on? They make one hell of a racket. A sudden loud and absolutely startling racket. I guarantee you wouldn't want to sleep anywhere near one either.

This country and the world is getting more and more seriously fucked up by the year now. First thing we have to do is get rid of the infantile psychopath in the White House. That's most important. Who that is, I'm not sure yet. But I'll tell you this, I don't give a fuck if I'd like to have a beer with him or if he'd like to have a beer with me. In fact, considering the monumental problems we're facing, I'd prefer someone who'd be kind of bored and impatient having a beer with me. I want someone intense, someone focused on changing the course we've been on for decades now. And if you're sittin' pretty, good retirement benefits, good health insurance, and you're afraid of anyone rocking the boat, think about your grandkids. Think about the world they'll get if we don't do something to change the cruel and disastrous course we're on.
