Jane Sanders Has the White House in Her Sights

I would rather have Jane Sanders in the White House than Bill Clinton.



“He went to one when Nelson Mandela was here,” Jane continues. “Everybody was there.” Hillary Clinton, the presiding first lady, in an elegant navy ensemble, extended her hand gingerly to the South African hero and his youngest daughter, Zindzi, as she stood beside her husband the president, in bow-tie and formal satin regalia.

“It will be backing up the work that he’s doing as opposed to picking a particular area.”
Jane Sanders

The only two people without a tuxedo,” Jane recalls, “were Bernie and Nelson Mandela.”

He showed up for the Baltimore Mayoral Forum in his trademark blue vest, while all the rest of the male candidates were in suits.

A White House with Bernie and Jane in it would be a fun, exciting place of the people in all our diversity.

Just imagine the walls groaning if Hillary and Bill step back in......

As a young woman, Jane was involved in protests against the Vietnam War. But she felt burned out when President Richard Nixon was re-elected—by a landslide—in 1972. “I said, I’m out of the political world,” she told me.
And she was—“until I heard him. I learned the right way to be a public servant from Bernie.”
