Bernie as VP. That's my 2 cents [View all] ALBliberal Dec 2016 OP
Or Elizabeth Warren. SpareribSP Dec 2016 #1
Kaine was "safe" and I personally ALBliberal Dec 2016 #3
Try ego...Bernie or Warren would have been an admission of need/vulnerability BeyondGeography Dec 2016 #2
That's an interesting take that I admittedly didn't think too much about. SpareribSP Dec 2016 #4
I think you're right, but I also think she didn't really buy what Sanders and Warren were selling. JudyM Dec 2016 #11
Doubt she makes the same choice if she had to do it all over again BeyondGeography Dec 2016 #13
I never thought it was that. I think she figured she had it in the bag, yes. But the choice was Grown2Hate Dec 2016 #20
I agree but I don't think she would've been able to stomach him even if she did see the tsunami. JudyM Dec 2016 #28
There was never any way he'd have been on the ticket with her, PoindexterOglethorpe Dec 2016 #5
Bernie had true followers. ALBliberal Dec 2016 #7
The way to have capitalized it was to have nominated him. PoindexterOglethorpe Dec 2016 #10
Thank you !! pangaia Dec 2016 #32
If sanders had some kind of assurance from her that he'd be granted authority to manage bold actions JudyM Dec 2016 #14
I will say I missed that. PoindexterOglethorpe Dec 2016 #18
It was a video of him being interviewed on a talk show or news show this week. It surprised me, too, JudyM Dec 2016 #24
If he only said that recently, it doesn't really mean much, PoindexterOglethorpe Dec 2016 #38
Maybe but I doubt he'd say it now if he hadn't thought similarly before. JudyM Dec 2016 #39
It's interesting that he would have taken it, PoindexterOglethorpe Dec 2016 #40
They would've probably won but might've been a tad too activist for our corporate sponsors to allow. JudyM Dec 2016 #41
It wouldn't have been a good choice. TexasTowelie Dec 2016 #6
'Anything negative that Bernie said against Hillary during the primaries' NRQ891 Dec 2016 #8
All good points. ALBliberal Dec 2016 #9
Let's not forget that PatsFan87 Dec 2016 #12
Keep in mind that those winning percentages that you mention TexasTowelie Dec 2016 #22
Not a lot of argument here, it's all purely speculation at this point. PatsFan87 Dec 2016 #27
Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda Me. Dec 2016 #15
Me too... I was begging for her to pick him budkin Dec 2016 #16
Hillary picked Tim Kaine for the same reason... Shemp Howard Dec 2016 #19
I don't think this is a reasonable conclusion. StevieM Dec 2016 #25

The problem there is that Sanders basically ran against the Democratic party ucrdem Dec 2016 #33
