2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI've changed my mind about Bernie accepting a VP slot with Hillary
Rather than a match made in heaven, after having thought about it for, um, at least 30 seconds, I think it would be a decent path to the Oval Office.
You know that the TeaBagger faction will find something to impeach her with. If you believe that the RW cash flowing to her is about them not liking Trump, I fear you are mistaken. It's more about helping her to be the Democratic nominee, they would rather run against her, by far. The national polls tend to confirm that opinion.
The real question is, how long will she last in office before a Bill of Impeachment is passed in the house?

(10,650 posts)The crime would have to be very severe to get enough Democratic senators to go along. It is possible there has been some things with the Clinton Foundation that might reach that hurdle, but nothing else or the radar comes close.

(26,449 posts)Should it uncover something fishy with the donations to the Clinton Foundation whilst she was SOS
We may not know what skeletons are in that closet, but we know there are skeletons.

(4,667 posts)Too dishonest
JaneyVee
(19,877 posts)wrong!
The Second Stone
(2,900 posts)Clinton is the most honest, Sanders the second most honest, and Trump is the least honest.
So your wrong!

(27,813 posts)... run against HRC than Bernie - that's why they've been bashing her all along, while saying nothing about Bernie at all.

(24,979 posts)You can't seriously want the farce of interchangeable politicians to go so far that Sanders also blows his integrity.
hootinholler
(26,449 posts)Bernie is not plug compatible, I agree. I also have total faith in his character that his integrity will be as Gibraltar.
JackRiddler
(24,979 posts)Ain't happening. Not under any scenario will Clinton offer a VP spot to Sanders.

hootinholler
(26,449 posts)Oh, yeah that's the ticket.

(3,146 posts)I liked the other post about you "getting in trouble" when the GE comes around. What's with this group and their love of authority?
JoePhilly
(27,787 posts)The House can masturbate all over an impeachment proceeding.
The President is not removed unless 2/3rds of the Senate agrees.
This is not a path to a Bernie Presidency. But it was funny to read.

(30,244 posts)You can put your thinking cap aside, Sanders won't be asked to be her VP. He comes from a small state that lacks diversity and he's too old. Hillary will ask someone from a diverse state and younger than herself.

It's obvious that some of you care more about getting your way than preventing a vile man like Trump from winning the WH. Selfish and foolish attitude.

(57,936 posts)that I think she will have a hard time winning in November if she can win at all.
In addition, she is not addressing with enough vigor the really big issues other than racism that are drawing voters to Trump.
If she wants to win in November, she is going to have to change her strategy. The Nevada fiasco will really hurt her.
Jezebel Jackson
(45 posts)Traditional wisdom speaks against choosing two northeastern candidates. Unlike Hillary in '08, Bernie has offered no compromise, nothing but continuing to be a wrench in the works that will never actually turn a bolt. I very much doubt she'll make a choice like that.

Arkansas and Vermont.
Or is it Illinois and Vermont?
Proof she's not a real Noo Yawker -- She openly admits to being a Yankees fan.
Jezebel Jackson
(45 posts)much like Bernie has identified himself with the Democratic Party. I think it's a bad idea. Besides, so many of us will be quite happy when Bernie just plain goes away.

How droll.
She identifies herself as not a war criminal too.

(1,511 posts)Since she will get impeached early on it would be a nice way to get an honest candidate in there, but would he be sullied by being on her ticket? It seems republicans could then try and tie them together?
loyalsister
(13,390 posts)because he would be signing up to be an employee that she can control. I think he has more integrity than that and I hope he will just stay in the senate and hold her accountable to his supporters.
