On a sunny day on the Burlington, Vermont, lakeshore in 2015, an independent U.S. senator with a relatively low national profile shocked the political establishment by turning out a boisterous crowd of thousands as he kicked-off his unlikely presidential campaign.
Sanders' journey from his isolated perch in Congress' upper chamber to his current position as a Democratic presidential primary frontrunner is a long story of backlash against the Washington, D.C. political establishment and an ideological shift that has moved the party closer-than-ever toward his long-held Democratic socialist beliefs.
On May 26, 2015, Sanders' home state rally was something of a national introduction, despite a tenure, to that point, of 16 years in the House of Representatives and eight in the Senate. Though the senator announced his run that year at a non-descript Capitol Hill news conference a month prior, in Vermont, before a much wider audience, he would touch on the key issues that have come to define both of his presidential campaigns.
Though it is all-but-certain that Sanders will speak to that theme of economic inequality and touch on other major issues of recent focus, like education and workers' rights, it is also likely that the senator will take the opportunity in the Green Mountain State to recount his successes for Vermonters throughout his career in public office.
Look at these people looking for his handouts. Nothing given as promised ..who will BERN these people again this next go round of 22 Dem runners? Bernie’s people love PAIN and a free bumper sticker.
Thats a bunch of slackers just waiting in line for their share of other peoples stuff...
Poor Vermont. Vermont deserves better than Bernie Sanders
Of course the cycle will be short and empty. The crowd photos of 2015 are deceptive he can't draw flies now.
Oh boy. How exciting. What breaking news
Is that where his wife committed mortgage fraud? Can he stay there?
Lol, what ridiculous reporting from leftist ABC fake news. Totally leftist bias.
Less the 700,000 people live in Vermont. Will the whole State show up? They support a man that's a liar. He rails on the rich while owning 3 homes. Worth about 2 million. Just another liar dem
Hope he stays there
And stay
They were hoping he’d stay away for another couple of years.....
LMAO
Dinosaur Socialist.
Wasting so much money! Just pick one of y'all and have a election!
Weekend at Bernie’s!
Gun nut Sanders returning home, where his gun nut policies will surely lead to more VT guns being used in crimes in other states.
Can he just stay there?
To which of this multiple houses is he going to be in?
Vermont can keep him. We good on this side.
I always wondered what the people of Vermont were like. Now I know that they are idiots.
