His paternal name. His mother's maiden name was Glassberg, but nobody
seems to know his father's.. "Sanders" is an adopted name assumed by
his father when he came to America.
If his father's name was Sanders, why do you think that it is somehow not Bernie's "real" last name?
Legally speaking, Sanders' real last name is whichever last name he has established as his real last name.
His tax rates plan is the same as under Ronald Reagan and his political platform is the same as FDR and Truman, two of the most popular presidents in US history. Is it utopian? The policies Sanders advocate has something like way above 90% majority support in our closest allies that have had these policies in place for decades, and it also has a majority support among the American people according to polls (latest polls for example show almost 60% support a single payer health care system while 33% are against it). Sanders is very popular among conservatives in Vermont and regularly get 25% of the Republican vote there. They know what he's about and they like him.
He is right about the theft of our economic well-being by the obscenely wealthy elite, but after that he's in outer space. Everyone knows that....well, except maybe for those already in equally eccentric orbits.
"Platform is the same as FDR and Truman"? Not even remotely. Time perhaps for you to look at his platform a little more closely.
FDR and Truman would have just grinned and said that you were stark raving mad if you told them in 1945 what the fringe left would dream up for candidates like Bernie Sanders to "fight for" in 2016.
I'd rather have a politician who's real, than a real politician.
Bernie really cares about all Americans...
Sure he does, that's why he has done absolutely nothing in his CAREER as a Democrat politician. He's just another career politician out there selling votes only to screw his supporters like all establishment pols do.
still waiting to know what Bernie's real last name is.
that information is not on the interweb.
must be pretty bad. Like Leninberger or Maovitsky.
Hundreds of thousands of Poles immigrated to the U.S. and changed their names to something easier to pronounce. It was one way they assimilated. (Which is something conservatives make a lot of noise about.) Because of the name changes MILLIONS of Americans who have Polish immigrant ancestors have no idea what the original Polish family name was.
What do you care? Are Polish-Americans not supposed to have WASP-ish sounding name?
That's not really something I'm looking for in a President, but I'm sure it makes his wife happy.
