(131,292 posts)Not a damn thing 'holier than thou' about Senator Sanders, but then there's former Congressman Frank, dumping on those he appeared to, in the past, represent, support, and work for.

"thinks he's smarter than everyone else"
Same old, same old. The financial and political elites have always played the "that egghead thinks he's smarter than you!" card. They've been trotting out that method of manipulation of people they themselves think are stupid for as long as I can remember. Follow that script, Barney! See you already followed the script for getting a nice, cushy job with the so-called "enemy" after retiring from a lengthy stint as a public representative. I wouldn't have expected anything less of you, Mr. board member of Signature Bank.
