Isn't it amazing, that Hillary Clinton, destroyer of worlds, practitioner of the dark arts

for the 1%, not once mentioned Sanders's failure to match her level of disclosure of personal finances while he was hitting her night after night over the stupid transcripts non-issue?

Do the Bernie people have an explanation for this oddity?

As it should be. Bernie has been running shady since at least mid-January, when I started paying attention.

Why would I have a different standard for Sanders This is an expected step for a serious presidential candidate to take, but they are acting like it is some SUPER UNFAIR pop quiz. Sorry kids, no retakes....

So he is either hiding something or he is mildly incompetent. Either way, total double standard at play. As always.

State taxes would be around $15K max.

Where'd the other $41K come from?

Donations to charity?

I guess that is why they are all so defensive about it. I wasn't really paying attention, but now I am. It is funny how they actually get more attention for the stuff they don't want you to pay attention to because they can't let anything drop without getting the last word.

Mmmm, it would be such delicious schadenfreude if St. Sanders got dinged on his personal financial integrity and transparency.... That would be so much fun, to watch his acolytes try to justify that kind of mess.

IIRC she got the college to buy a huge building from the local Catholic church with the intent of it being used to draw hundreds and hundreds of additional enrollees...which didn't happen, and almost caused the college to lose its accreditation.
