23. When the poll numbers support it.

For instance: http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/150802_topline_trend_v4_KD.pdf

This poll came out yesterday, if you look at page 15 you will see that 42% of the people polled either have not heard of Sen. Sanders or have heard of him but have not formed an opinion about him.

Unlike Hillary where that number is more like 4%.

Reality, it exists.
