In reply to the discussion: Sanders brought his own breakfast to the White HOuse [View all]Maru Kitteh
(29,306 posts)21. I tend to go with your take here. Something he could control.
People are very funny about food sometimes. The older we get, the funnier we are about it too.

The people's house that will not be his
Occupied by a man who, Sanders knew, was endorsing Hillary
By a man he sought to have primaried in 2012
Not his house, not his territory, not his rules, not his comfort zone
Breakfast was probably the one thing, consciously or not, that he figured he could still control.
