I can't find any primary sources about Bernie describing what he is like to work with, what his personality is, can he be trusted, does he have a heart.
I know all those things about LBJ from reading primary sources.
I had a friend for a little while that was a congressman. A divorce ended that relationship. He had Thanksgiving with us one year and I did ask him what some politicians were like that he worked with. He is a primary source.
The only thing I have to judge Bernie is in interviews and speeches.
What you hear on this site is the opinions of others and who knows if they are making it up or where they got it.
Now do you get it?

Yes, I do. And I appreciate your patience with my terse reply. I agree that some could be making it up. But, although off the top my head I can not provide links, I do remember hearing several interviews from his peers saying as much, as well as reading several news articles supporting that opinion of him. Even some of the congressional staff have been known to say he is abrupt with them and sometimes mean spirited if others oppose his view. He has been known to treat those that work for him as he would university students or children.
If I come across another article on this issue, I will remember to provide a link.
As for his resume' it's all over the Internet, as well as his publications from yesteryear.
