I just threw up a little bit in my mouth a few minutes ago!

[MarianJack]

While I was dropping my son off at school, I heard on the radio that there is talk of a Donald Rump/Back Bench Bernie ticket!

Hopefully, Sanders has too much integrity for THAT...ooops, never mind!

Yuck!

PEACE!

[DemonGoddess]

1. ewwwwwwwwwwwwww

[leftofcool]

2. Wouldn't surprise me

[FarPoint]

26. Could of been the plan all along..

[gabeana]

31. As a Bernie supporter now moving over mentally to the general knowing that Hillary will be the

nominee, comments like this are not helpful, no way would Bernie would do this, give the man more credit, he might not be your cup of tea but I am sure there is a lot of his platform you agree with

[MarianJack]

34. There are points that I agree with, however,...

...his conduct in the course of this campaign has caused me to lose every bit of respect that I ever had for him.

His conduct in the coming weeks will determine if I ever choose to respect him again.

The reporting of the speculation about Sanders possibly being considered to be Donald Rump's running mate is a report I heard on the radio today. It isn't something I would ever make up. I believe that Rump will make a mealy mouth VP choice, like our own spine of oatmeal senator from up here in Maine, Susan Collins...YUCK!

I'm sure that regardless of who is the #2 on the Republican/teabagger ticket, there will be celebration in the Clinton family when Rump's convention adjourns!

PEACE!

[gabeana]

37. You really think Bernie would be trumps VP

come on now, and you think Bernie did anything different than Hillary in 2008 I don't want to get in a tit for tat because it is time for closure and coming together for the general

[MarianJack]

39. Had you actually read my posts,...

...you might have noticed that I never said that I thought that Sanders WOULD be Rump's VP.

I DID say, in both the OP and my first response to you, and now again here, that I heard it on the radio this morning!

Reading is fundamental.

[gabeana]

42. I get it and thanks for the snark

here is your quote

Hopefully, Sanders has too much integrity for THAT...ooops, never mind!

so you are saying Sanders has to much integrity then never mind meaning you think he would consider it

or you're saying he would never take it? and actually just to let you in on a little secret I was not responding to you initially I was responding to leftofcool

[MarianJack]

43. You're quite welcome for the snark!

The remark about Sanders' integrity is referencing the fact that since March, he has run exactly the sort of campaign that he said he wouldn't run, has been collecting Pinnocchios like they were Beanie Babies, become the master of the cheap stunt (like the Vatican fiasco) and has been claiming endorsements he didn't get, advisors who never even met him and campaign workers who are willing to steal an opponent's data.

None of this denotes a great deal of integrity to me, hence the "ooops, never mind" remark.

[gabeana]

45. You really leave yourself an opening for this

because you know Bernie supporters can easily counter everything you said about be nasty and Pinocchio but again Hillary won so be happy now we must come together and defeat the GOP
put your scorn somewhere else not to the people that need to support Hilary in the fall
I can bring a lot of stuff up but I wont because it is time to focus on the general

[MarianJack]

46. By all means,...

...please relate to me ONE negative attack against Sanders that Hillary Clinton has said. That's Hillary, not her staff nor supporters like me.

On the other hand, don't. I'm LONG past being bored with you.

AMF!

[gabeana]

48. no you are not bored, you still respond

you have that passive aggressive thing down pat drop the mic

i'll drop the mic

[kerry-is-my-prez]

41. Thank you for considering Hillary. My problem is that I very much agree with his platform but

I think he is hurting the Democratic Party and Hillary by staying in. I never thought he would do something like that (liked him before he got so aggressive) and I am disappointed in him. I don't want to see another Nader-type situation with him being the spoiler.

[Koinos]

3. The Republicans at the convention in Cleveland would never vote yea to that.

[MarianJack]

35. They might, IF...

...they thought it would be a good way to piss in our soup!

PEACE!

[DinahMoeHum]

4. Ain't. Gonna. Happen. It's far more likely that. . .

. . .if Hillary wins the nomination, she offers the VPOTUS to Bernie.

Well, hell, this has happened before; JFK tapping Lyndon Johnson in 1960 and Reagan choosing George HW Bush in 1980.

[leftofcool]

5. Not a chance! Bernie will never be her VP. He wasn't even on the long list!

[DinahMoeHum]

7. Like I said: stranger things HAVE happened.

And there are still some primaries left to go.

[leftofcool]

8. Nope, it's done.

Hillary does not want Bernie as her VP period. The Democratic Party would never allow this.

[Her Sister]

10. I agree with you!

The same problems he would have as a General candidate! He would be vetted! He'd be a weak person to be in line to be Prez if something happened to the President.

[Tarheel_Dem]

32. ^^^ THIS ^^^. If she wants someone constantly undermining her, then BS is the man for that.

[DemonGoddess]

9. No. way. in. hell.

Nope.

[DinahMoeHum]

11. We'll see. Just sit back and watch what unfolds.

But have no fear for me: I'm voting Democratic Blue no matter who the ticket is come November.

[DemonGoddess]

12. Hillary Clinton is not stupid

It would be stupid to put in place a VP candidate who tears down her, AND the party which supports her.

[leftofcool]

14. The Party would never allow it!

[DemonGoddess]

16. EXACTLY! n/t

[dlwickham]

25. It might shut him up for the next four years

[pandr32]

23. And then she would have to fight with him every day

...as he keeps trying to take charge. He would be insufferable, and sitting at the head of the Senate, too. He would constantly self-aggrandize every time he saw a microphone to blather into.

No, no, and hell no!

[MarianJack]

36. Sanders as Hillary's VP?

Oh God, please NO!

PEACE!

[Cha]

6. the guys..

13. Sarah The Quitter has already auditioned for that job.

That would be worth watching.

[MarianJack]

38. Sarah Palin as Donald Rump's VP?

Oh God, please YES!!!

PEACE!

[Thinkingabout]

15. Same problem will exist, the most qualified candidate will still be Hillary.

It would make a pair of waving arms and faces on the same team.

[Agnosticsherbet]

17. Sanders wants a revolution. He would get nothing from that match up.

If he lost and tried to return to the Democratic Caucus, where he wields considerable power, he would be told to take a hike.
What real policy initiative would Trump give him?

I don't think he would do that. I think running an avowed "socialist" as a running mate would lead to defections of a solid chunk of what Republican party is left.

[KitSileya]

27. Besides, his ego wouldn't allow a VP slot.

It's what will scuttle a potential third party run with Jill Stein, too. Neither of them are willing to sacrifice the top billing.

[IamMab]

18. Back Bench Bernie has Leveled Up! He is Sore Loser Sanders now. nt

[MarianJack]

40. A good one!

Thanks.

PEACE!

[uponit7771]

44. +1

[fun n serious]

19. He doesn't seem like a unifiar at all

[fun n serious]

20. Republicans will never back that..

GOP would freak out.

[sarae]

21. But BS would lose all the minority support he has...

oh wait...

[artyteacher]

22. hes too much of an egomaniac for that...

Both of them.

[SunSeeker]

24. The fact that people think Sanders would run with that racist says a lot.

And none of it is good.

[WhiteTara]

28. I honestly couldn't imagine that

no matter how much or if Bernie hates Hillary and the Democratic Party.

[LisaM]

29. Neither one of them is capable of playing second fiddle

I remember back in 2008, I thought that if Hillary were nominated, she'd definitely nominate Obama for Veep, but that if he were nominated, he would never choose her. I was, sadly, proved right on that. Both of them, though, could have gracefully accepted the role and campaigned heartily for the ticket.

The Donald and the Bern? No way. Couldn't fit both those heads on a stage, and their angry white supporters likewise couldn't be in the same room.

[Walk away]

30. They are perfect together!

[Tarheel_Dem]

33. It will finally be clear that BS has absolutely no principles whatsoever, as I've always suspected.

[Tarc]

47. I'm sorry, but this was an ill-advised thread

which is now being used for ammo by some Sanders supporters. Whatever Sanders faults may be, he's a zillion miles above Trump, and there's no way in hell he's ever team up with that bigoted, misogynist, orange-faced asshat.

C"mon, let's be better than this.

[MarianJack]

49. Ho hum,...

...once AGAIN, I was simply stating what I heard on the radio!
