I think Bernie should pull an "Elvis" for a short while...

....and hide out from the paparazzi that we call "network news".

He could make an announcement that he was working on collecting a team of like-minded "progressives" to assist him in the event he was actually elected President?

Bernie understands how the mainstream media operates.

I believe he will have an "army" to assist him if he is elected President.

He handles himself very well indeed.

The idea: announce you're in the running for Pres, against candidates who expect to rake in +$2Billion in campaign funds, then immediately go into hiding?????? WTF?

I believe about the army of helpers too.
But why the Elvis routine, inquiring minds want to know!

Her excuse, is that her campaign doesn't kick off until June 13th.

Bullshit.

Bernie's out every day, meeting people of all kinds of stripes, class, race, and just about everything.

And he's gaining because people like his message. Hillary's message? Not so much.
