Warren Buffett: I 'admire' Bernie Sanders

Yes, I know he's endorsed Hillary.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) has a something of a surprising new fan: Warren Buffett.

In an interview on CNBC on Tuesday, the billionaire investor said that he admires the way that Sanders has run his campaign.

"I think Bernie Sanders has been a terrific campaigner. He campaigns exactly as I would campaign if I were a candidate," Buffett said.

Buffett's support is interesting considering the investor has said he's not a "card-carrying Democrat." And if Sanders had his way, Buffett would likely see an enormous tax increase that goes far beyond the tax-reform proposals that Buffett supports.

AFTER it came to light how minorities were treated by that bank, I lost all respect for Buffett. His folksy demeanor hides a lack of ethics.

So a carrot (admires Bernie) with the pushing of a negative meme (he can't win). Big surprise here. As a Bernie supporter, I try not to post such articles.

Good old Warren who donates to Hillary's super pacs. Of course he does, he knows that he's guaranteed a good return on his investment.
