Sanders should take a Break like Clinton Did

Clinton took a break during campaigning at times. Sanders should do the same. i think it helps candidates to get away from campaign bubble for a while. it's also why she usually doesn't look too tired while he has been appearing so . it's because took some time out from it.

Which she isn't.
Bernie has to accelerate to the finish.

He probably does take breaks, but he won't advertise them.

campaign for him but it's not the same as having the ex-President campaigning for you.
Hillary is lucky that way.

I would like to see Bernie take just one day off. But I have to say he amazes me at 74 yo that he can go non-stop like he does.

She looks and sounds like she's on the verge of a full tilt mental breakdown.

For somebody who has had the party machinery, the president, the beltway insiders, the 1%, and the media behind her from the gitgo, she appears to rapidly be losing confidence in her inevitability. She's well on the way to becoming a 21st century political joke, a perennial loser and a gag line for late night TV comedians.

The only question is, will she exit the national stage with even an ounce of dignity? My guess is, no.

No doubt Kissinger gave her some valuable pointers on how she can kiss, er, kick, Republican butt if she becomes President.

Sanders does his fund-raising online and at his rallies

AND

The FBI does not want to interview Sanders as a 'person of interest'.
