Sen. Bernie Sanders this Saturday, September 14 will hold three youth basketball events in Springfield, Bennington, and Rutland. Each event will include a free throw competition that is open to Vermonters ages 5-18, regardless of skill level or background. RSVPs are encouraged to save a spot. All youth participants will receive a free basketball.

  1. Sanders entire life has been a nothing burger. This man has never produced anything of value for the people.

    • Is that old fart ever going to go away. I don’t mean any harm to him but at 82 he’s running for senator again. He should be fishing near his expensive lake house, probably purchased by Hillary or the DNC to make him go away in 2016. Had enough Bernie yet? Please say yes and vote for Malloy, someone who has actually done something for his country.

  2. Dear Bernie,
    A little basketball with some kids (non-voters) is well and good. How about doing something constructive, like lowering the national deficit.
    Go back to work and get something done.

  3. Dear Bernie,
    Frankly, you’re too old, too damaged and too compromised.
    Unless you can do something useful, you should bow out.
    Cos, to date you have done nothing useful.
    K?
    Oh, and you were a fraud in 2016
    Facts speak for themselves.
    Forget the Senate, retire.

    Yours Sincerely,
    Vermont

  5. Hey Vermonters use a little Common Sense And VOTE for Gerald Malloy for us Senate 👍🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸👍 Get-R-Done Vermonters Get-R-Done!
    Send old Bernie packing period!!
    BYE-BYE mitten Sanders BYE-BYE!!

    Like allways the Vermonter from the Right side period!!
