(47,803 posts)As an administrator, political leader and CEO, Sanders did exceptionally as mayor. He got people excited, and the potholes got fixed and the budget got balanced Burlington became a vibrant city, and he was named as one of America's Best Mayors....Different scvale but same skillset.....and a vast majority of Vermonters love the guy, even those who don't agree with him politically.
When you get a few spare minutes i suggest you read these articles....For my part I am disappointed at the missed opportunity to have someone like this in the WH.
