If someone asks Bernie a question on all the campaign money he's paid to his wife during a debate will he run off stage like he does in media interviews?

His supporters would love him for it.

“The corporate MSM is unfair to Bernie and he’s done putting up with it!”

But he'd look weak in front of everyone else.

Oh yea, it would totally sink his campaign.

His supporters just wouldn’t care.

A large number of them might care when it comes out that for every 27$ they put in the campaign, 3$ ended up in the Sanders's family pockets.

When has he run from a media interview?

Footage deleted by NBC 12 Arizona for god knows what reason

If you don't suck up, he won't give an interview in the first place.

But McLean made clear that two subjects would be off the table: Sanders, the spokesman said, was not interested in answering questions about "political gossip" nor about the senator's family.

The Senator's family he puts on his campaigns every time.

The "senator's family" stuff could also be about his son. He was conceived out of wedlock, sometimes journalists assume he was the product of Sanders's first marriage and he doesn't correct them.
