49. Bernie is one of my senators...

... and passing legislation is not any senator's primary purpose; serving those he or she represents IS. And I speak from personal experience when I say that Bernie has done an exemplary job in that regard. And in at least one instance that I was party to, he went the extra mile for the son of someone that didn't even vote for him. That someone was also too petty to even thank him for it – and it was a BIG "it" – and, sadly, that marked the end of our friendship. But Dan got the the VA benefits he had been denied anyway. Thanks to Bernie.
Ideas abound, if there are transcripts of his speeches, which I'm sure there are.

And PTB is Powers That Be.
