Sanders campaign: We'll consider Hillary for veepDANIEL STRAUSS
Politico
"A craven hypocrite?" Weaver responded with a grin described in the story as "sly." "That's a little bit harsh, don't you think?"
Weaver then added, "We're willing to give her more credit than Obama did. We're willing to consider her for vice president. We'll give her serious consideration. We'll even interview her."
Weaver was mostly joking, Bloomberg Politics went on to say. But the comment is just the latest example of growing tensions between the two major campaigns vying for the Democratic nomination.
Wed be very happy to have a straight-out debate on issues that matter to people and confine it to that, Devine said. But if theyre going to have a campaign that attacks Bernie on gun safety and implies he engages in sexism, thats unacceptable. Were not going to stand for that. Were not going to sit here and let her attack him. Were going to have to talk about other things if they do that. If theyre going to engage in this kind of attack, they need to understand were not going to stand there and take it.

(27,787 posts)Once she completes her 2 terms as President, I'm pretty sure she can't be the VP.
The bigger story is that Bernie is going to run again in 2024. I like his spirit!

(19,877 posts)Literally in a perpetual state of constantly playing the victim card. A campaign that demands constant lavish praise for its figurehead. Any critique is met with chants of "media conspiracy", or "DNC conspiracy", or "oligarchy conspiracy". Do bad at debate, blame the moderators. Take a picture with Hillary, and your social media page is flooded with anger and insults.
I imagine as Hillary continues to build coalitions, the teeth-gnashing will increase.

(47,803 posts)The most thin skinned one is the one that prowls for any word that night possibly have sexist connotations and then when they find it, use it in a totally distorted way to play the victim.
Maybe I should amend that. The candidate and the campaign inner circle doesn't give a damn what word Sanders used. They just saw it as an opportunity to manipulate the thin skinned followers of the candidate, and nasty down the campaign to personal matters rather than issues.

(11,076 posts)I've never really heard what went down after Hillary lost to Obama. I know there were several weeks when she went missing. I assume she was negotiating her future.

(50,414 posts)I think I have it figured out. If I vote for neither the (R) or (D) the (R) will automatically win.
How does that work?

It also looks like Bernie has never faced such a dirty opponent before. I hope he can maintain the high road.

(11,945 posts)Two items for your non-Canadian ears (eyes):
1) Drawing comparisons is not veering off the high road. You wanna see veering off the high road, revisit Hillary Clinton's 2008 campaign. Lowest of the low. How you can touch that thing with a 10-foot pole is beyond me.
2) Bernie's not careening uncontrollably downhill, but it's obvious that you, like certain other despicable followers of Hillary, say such things in a childish spirit of spite, which does nothing for my opinion of you nor for your candidate. Now I understand that you don't care what I think of you, but I do vote and do spread the word as best I can. Y'all like to talk about Trump vs. Hillary to make us support her, but we could make the same blackmail threats to you: turn us off too badly and Hillary might not have the winning edge in the General, if she gets that far. Just a thought.

(11,945 posts)I really appreciate your letting me know.
Since the Hillary camp think they're winning, it's surprising how badly they've been behaving in recent days. I wish someone could explain the increase in negative intensity.
Sometimes I think certain people are beyond help. (Which, as a bleeding-heart liberal, makes me kinda sad.)
