The minute he announced, money would pour in, they would start to circulate petitions to get him on the ballot in every state, and start running a massive media campaign.
None of this with the knowledge or approval of Bernie.
The other choice is to go against everything he has built since 1980 and switch to run as a DEM. IMO, he will not.
