so I just rechecked. In an interview with George Steph. around June 28, Bernie brought it up related to his prior campaigns and opponents in VT, not as an ego thing of course. He's probably mentioned it other times as well. Anyway it's true!

4. You have the skills for it. Maybe start since the avalanche of attacks is being prepared & coming.
