22. I really don't think Bernie can address Trump about nepotism without appearing hypocritical
Fri Mar 6, 2020, 11:58 AM
Mar 2020

since he hired his stepson to run the Sanders Institute. It also doesn't help that while Jane Sanders was president of Burlington College, she diverted $500K to her daughter's woodworking school. There might also be some questions about how much Bernie has paid Jane for her services in previous election campaigns.

Trump will tear Bernie apart if the issue of nepotism is raised so I can't say that Bernie has an advantage there.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
