According to Pulitzer
Prize winning journalist Will Bunch,
the story behind Bernie Sanders political career is one of the most improbable
journeys in the history of American politics. In his new e-book The Bern Identity: A Search for Bernie Sanders and the New American Dream he asks the question of how did
Bernie Sanders make it out of the backwoods of Vermont – where he lived for a
time in a ramshackle off-road “sugar shack” with no electricity, and where he
never got more than 6 percent of the vote in a string of doomed, fringe
far-left campaigns in the 1970s – to become a leading contender in the 2016
race for the White House? Will joins me
today to talk all about the book and Sen. Sanders’ campaign.
