"Sanders has a narrative arc that would form the backbone of the campaign story of almost any other candidate. But its more complicated for him. Theres never been anybody like Sanders in the modern political history of this countrysomebody who made a career out of haranguing millionaires
and who is now a millionaire himself. There is no set strategy for how to run for president as a democratic socialist with an expensive lakefront summer house. Americans generally dont begrudge millionaires their millionsand, as Donald Trump has confirmed, the aura of wealth can serve as a useful means of self-promotionbut what to make of Sanders apparently conflicting narratives?"
Some want to interpret that as an attack against his being Jewish, but the article is making it very clear what it is referring to, and from the author's perspective Sanders is being disingenuous.
This has nothing to do with his being Jewish
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
