Bernie Sanders won't endorse son's congressional run
Source: Axios
Bernie Sanders will not endorse his son, Levi, in his New Hampshire congressional race, stating that his family "[does] not believe in dynastic politics." The Vermont senator stated that Levi is "running his own campaign in his own way, "adding that he is "very proud" of his son's accomplishments.
Yes, but: There are rumblings in New Hampshire that Levi's campaign is widely seen as inept and likely to lose, per The Boston Globe. As a result, New Hampshire politics aficionados believe Bernie may not want to harm his brand before the 2020 presidential campaign by throwing his full weight behind his son.

Bernie Sanders won’t endorse his son for Congress, citing “dynasty politics”
snip//
Levi Sanders doesn’t live in the district he’s running to represent, and while that’s not required, it doesn’t help his cause. He resides in Claremont, in New Hampshire’s Second
District, which is about an hour away. Whereas his father excelled in fundraising, Levi has struggled, ending March with just under $11,500 on the books. He’s picked up two endorsements — from New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and California Rep. Ro Khanna — but not his dad’s.
Vox’s Dylan Matthews, who has a full explainer on Levi Sanders, pointed out that some of the candidate’s past social media activity also raises some questions. On Twitter, he has criticized “identity politics” and said criticisms of “white privilege” turn off working-class voters. He tweeted he didn’t think “working-class families” would care about President Donald Trump using a racial slur and complained that eliminating Confederate flag license plates “hurts people’s rights.”

whether his son won or lost, it's all about BS.
That said, I don't know who raised him but God he's awful, probably full of seething resentment.
evening Cha...
according to BS, that is.. and he would be stuck with that.. whether he "believes in it" or not. He painted himself into a corner.
Same with Levi now.. must be a wee bit difficult for an aspiring politician to be stymied by a father in the Senate who doesn't want to be saddled with the "political dynasty" label he's posited.

dissing Hillary and Chelsea that were posted on here.. you might not feel sorry for him.
RE: the comments. ANY chance for a "dig". 
that you can not just embrace your kids no matter how misguided they might be. LOL - now that I think about it, it's that blind devotion to "party line" that plagues Dems.
Brakeman: "Hey engineer! The bridge ahead is out!"
Engineer: "Yeah, but this thing's running SO sweet right now. It'd be a crime to shut it down!" 
that they have THE definitive answer on ANY topic you can bring up. It's sort of a badge of honor to have them try to put you "in your place". At least, that's how I've come to take it.
political dynasties".. does that mean he wants Levi to lose?
Was he glad Carina lost?
