The quotes below are from an article on Huffington Post by Paige Lavender. You may not believe what Bernie Sanders did in high school. Check it out below.
Years after graduating, Slavin heard a story about one cross-country race in particular in which Sanders let the second-place runner take the lead, ignoring a tradition that the top two runners join hands at the end and cross the finish line together.
"But Bernie knew that this other guy had not ever won a race by himself," Slavin says. "So when they approached the finish line, the other guy reached out to take Bernie's hand and Bernie sort of nudged him across the finish line so that the other guy would finish first and Bernie would finish second, and it's a story that this guy has always remembered."
I found this to speak volumes about Bernie Sanders. And this was during a competition in high school. I don’t think Bernie Sanders will be politics as usual!
It’s our turn to nudge Bernie Sander across the finish line in first!
