The question is what is the role of a running mate: to win this election, or to perpetuate a legacy.
Rocky would ensure Bernie's legacy, except that he'd be pretty old by the end of Bernie's term.
Martin is young enough to carry on until 2032.
Tulsi would help win the election, but I'm not sure how fully she aligns with Bernie's vision.
Elizabeth will be needed in the Senate.
