It's like I see a fuse burning to a potential bomb and I feel I need to run over and snuff it out.

The thing is, when that fuse gets to the end there'll just be the soft pop of a dud anyway. I could probably just ignore them.

Since the news media knows who the candidate is, they too will begin ignoring Sanders now and the "campaign" will just fizzle out on it's own very soon. Sanders can't run if no one listens.
