The last thing Bernie wants to talk about right now is his failing campaign. And if you ask him about it he gets ANGRY:
Sen. Bernie Sanders grew angry when asked about his campaign plans. During a gaggle with reporters in the Capitol, I asked Sanders about his timeframe for making a decision, and he lashed out: "I'm dealing with a fucking global crisis. You know, we're dealing with."

I noted he's running for president, and he said: “Well right now, right now I'm trying to do my best to make sure that we don't have an economic meltdown and that people don't die. Is that enough for you to keep me busy for today?"

The blowup occurred about half way through a five-minute gaggle where Sanders talked about the "unprecedented crisis of our lifetime," calling for a range of measures that the U.S. government should take in the midst of the economic crisis.

Then @LisaMascaro asked what he's saying to his supporters, and he sidestepped the question, noting he's sent out a statement. Then, I asked about his timeframe — and he was furious
Afterwards, he mellowed out and answered questions about the crisis for about two more minutes.

Bernie would rather talk about the coronavirus than talk about getting swept last night by Biden – and he gets furious when a reporter brings it up. That says everything about the state of his campaign. I expect him to drop out any day now.
What I want to know is why there isn’t any video of this. Surely if Trump yelled at reporters it’d be all over the news. Wasn’t anyone recording this on their phones or cameras? Are they just not putting it out there because it would make Bernie look bad? Either one is super lame when you think about it.
