Concerning reactions to Bernie Sanders.

A ton of the resthome residents where I work are very well-educated, and almost all of them are lifelong Democrats and cool as all heck.

Last night, though, after the Nevada caucus, I overheard two of the very coolest ones talking, and both were expressing honest concerns to the other about Bernie Sanders.

"He's a zealot," one resident was like, who has a Ph.D. and nice scarves and is very keyed-in and with it.

"Yes, he is a zealot," the other resident was like, who's a retired school nurse with an edgy taste in movies.  "And such grandiose plans, how is going to pay for them all?"

Both hate Trump, too, and think that a second term of his would be devastating.
