2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumImagine traveling back in time and explaining to a 21 year old Bernie Sanders
that he was going to run for President in 2015 and be attacked for standing up for the rights of African-Americans (and who some of those attackers would be). (Sigh).

...of the birther conspiracy. The birth notice in a 1961 Hawaii newspaper was all part of a conspiracy to get Barack elected 47 years later.

...to disparage Bernie. They'll lie, sell their mother, wife and children to obtain the day that Bernie threw a piece of paper on the ground.

That the attack would be that he was using that to pad his "resume" and was exaggerating his participation for political gain. That most would see being involved as a plus. I would think that would be kinda mind blowing. Or maybe not, if he suspected history would be on his side.
