Bernie Sanders, hero of the Sandernista Revolution, never stopped looking out after himself. If you doubt that look at the track record of his wife and family. Or this little tidbit from the campaign.
Sanders owns nearly every major decision, right down to the bills. A conversation with former Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin about getting left in personal debt from his own 1992 presidential campaign has stayed at the top of Sanders’ mind.
He demanded that the campaign bank account never go under $10 million, even when that’s meant decisions Weaver and campaign architect Tad Devine have protested -- like making the call in the final days before Kentucky to go with digital director Kenneth Pennington’s plan to focus on data and field, instead of $300,000 to match Clinton on TV.
Sanders ultimately lost there by just 1,924 votes.
Bernie Sanders never wanted any personal exposure. He was happy to redistribute your wealth, but wouldn't touch his.
