If Sanders is a VP pick; a t-Rump Defeat would be Inevitable.

[zebonaut]

He brings his base with him. Thoughts?

Or is there still a Superdelegate flip possibility?

1. hell no....

2. Sorry to break it to ya, but Hillary doesn't need the baggage that Sanders carries.

The word "socialist" doesn't fit well with most voters over 55.

11. No Hillary supporter of any age is going to switch their vote because her VP is a "socialist"...

...but it will help get her a whole bunch of otherwise unenthusiastic Sanders supporters.

Other than Warren, I'm not sure who else gets her any voters she wasn't going to get anyway.

3. Not happening. n/t

4. VP picks are both personal and political

But mostly personal. The President has to be able to trust their VP, to know the VP always has their back.

My first choice for an HRC vice president is Sec Julian Castro. I love him. He's absolutely trustworthy, well educated like Clinton and very classy. But that's just me.

5. There's little reason for Clinton to pick Sanders.

Most of his supporters have already indicated in polls that they'll support Clinton in November, and Clinton needs someone who is a better demographic complement to her than Sanders would be.

6. NOPE...NT

7. Maybe...

Although it would be nice, I have a feeling that's not what he wants and he would say no. I think the Senate leadership is going to offer him his pick of chairing committees and leadership spots for the upcoming Democratic Senate majority. He will be the new "Respected Elder" like Ted Kennedy was for so long and hopefully have a chance to put together the Medicare part E(verybody) Bill, $15.00 minimum wage, etc...I donated $20 a month to his campaign for a year and caucused for him in CO but it's time for him to pivot and get on the bus I believe.

Or is there still a Superdelegate flip possibility?

So far Bernie has flipped none of the super-delegates. Last time anybody tried the SD flipping was Gary Hart in the Eighties and he flipped zero as well. Easier said than done.

8. It wouldnt bring anyone to Hillary that wont already go.

His supporters are not sheep to be led around by the nose.

[PotatoChip]

9. Not just no, but hell no.

That is what I'd hope he'd say to a VP slot in such an administration.

Plus, we will be needing him in the Senate more than ever, assuming that he chooses to stay there.

[douglindsay]

12. More power

I think Bernie knows not only will he have more power and influence in the Senate than any Vice-president has ever had but his position will be way up from a year ago. Especially since we are going to have the majority in 2017.

[ALBliberal]

10. I don't think it will happen but the ticket would be unbeatable. But

then again, Obama offered Clinton SOS (and did I read that she was also considered for VP?). It was an amazing olive branch from Obama after a bruising drawn out primary. A brilliant political move by Obama. I believe that Clinton will similarly reach out to Bernie in a magnanimous and gracious way and Bernie will campaign for her and support her.

13. No way. I can imagine him "going rouge", like Palin did.
