Clinton should make Bernie Sanders her VP

[UCmeNdc]

It would be her best move. Bernie would handle Donald Trump like a pro. Plus for Bernie he could influence her administration toward his message and help keep Clinton focused on jobs, banking regulation, overturning of citizens united etc.

[winter is coming]

1. I'll take Things That Will Never Happen for $200, Alex. n/t

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

25. Bernie's WAYYY too smart to link his political fortunes to Hillary's.

Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!

[rock]

32. LOL, Though I actually prefer

I'll take Extinction Level Events for $200 Alex.

[dana_b]

60. lol... exactly

they are like oil and water. They would not mix.

[Renew Deal]

2. The guy is toxic

She doesn't need that kind of negativity.

[timmymoff]

22. I agree, she has plenty of her own

all earned.

[arcane1]

36. Hillary isn't a guy. n/t

[LexVegas]

3. Oh hell no. nt

[LaydeeBug]

5. Alas the two together was my dream, but Bernie swindled down to impossible. nt

[Skwmom]

6. Nope. Can you see Bernie defending the Clinton Foundation, speaking and consulting fees, the

allegations of sexual assaults, and the bought and paid for Corporate Democratic Party?

[virtualobserver]

23. I can't see HILLARY defending that (successfully)......

Trump will decimate her defenses on these issues.....

[seabeyond]

7. Nope. There would be not benefit to Clinton, Democrats or the nation. This, Sanders has taught us,

well.

[Fawke Em]

37. It would benefit the nation.

Hillary and the Democrats, not so much. He's too honest for them.

[seabeyond]

49. Clinton kicks his ass in honest. He doesn't do his homework, get things done. Would be a fail.

[stonecutter357]

8. he gets nothing..

[Fawke Em]

38. Good luck in the fall without us.

[casperthegm]

9. She's not worthy

I'd be very disappointed in Sanders if he were to be willing to be vp, assuming he doesn't win the nomination. He's spent his campaign pointing out all of her bad decision, her right wing positions, and how she's sold out to corporate America. And I still wouldn't vote for her.

[mcar]

10. No thanks

[sufrommich]

11. No. nt

[boston bean]

12. LOL! haha

[djean111]

13. Hillary would have no intention of allowing Bernie to influence anything.

Hillary (and Bill) have their Third Way to-do list, their MIC to-do list, their TPP/TTIP to-do list, their enabling Wall street and weakening Social Security and fracking to-do lists.

Bernie would be relegated to some back office, going to dinners and funerals and would conveniently be out of Congress, where he could do some good.

[workinclasszero]

14. 1. No way in hell would Sanders accept the post if offered

2. I don't want a VP that justifies political violence.

[Fawke Em]

39. What violence?

Yelling at people isn't violence. It may not be the epitome of polite, but politics isn't polite.

[Codeine]

15. From our People Who Have Never Followed an Election Before Dept. . . nt

[auntpurl]

30. Seriously.

[COLGATE4]

48. Beautiful

[CanadaexPat]

16. It wouldn't help her and it would hurt him.

[TDale313]

17. No. Not gonna happen and don't want it to.

This may be one of the few things Sanders and Clinton supporters agree on.

[rbrnmw]

18. Hell to the naw

[VulgarPoet]

19. There's this weird little two words I've been looking for-- "Hell, no."

Talk about the epitome of selling out-- no. God, no. It's already revolting enough to vote for someone who is going to send my brothers and sisters in arms to war again, but to stack the one candidate I believed in as a sellout? Hell the fuck no.

[Trust Buster]

20. Sanders would do better to take advantage of the relaxed travel restrictions to Cuba IMO.

[Lucinda]

21. No thanks. n/t

[enid602]

24. Hill

I think Pres Clinton should offer (and Sen Sanders should accept) a cabinet level post as ACA Czar. While we've been fiddling, Rome is burning. New challenges to ACA have arisen from the courts and the insurance companies. We need someone who is driven, feisty, unwielding, crusty and devoted to Universal Health Care. Ironically, Sanders can do more for health care as a cabinet level executive than he could ever thought of doing as Pres. Let him make our ACA more like Denmark's! Hill's attention will be diverted in a thousand different ways after inauguration; she needs a pit bull who can live, breath and concentrate on health care and health care only. What better way to preserve Obama's legacy, and get us to where we need to be with regard to Universal Health Care.

ps: We might even unite the party.

[timmymoff]

41. Sanders should remain in the senate as should Warren.

she needs to pick the governor of Minnesota

[Little Star]

26. Nope

[onecaliberal]

27. Not going to happen.

[bloom]

28. I would rather see Elizabeth Warren as VP n/t

[themaguffin]

29. Bernie would be more effective in the Senate

[B2G]

31. So is he going to move to the right, or

will she move to the left?

Neither is going to happen, so dream on.

[MoonRiver]

33. Ridiculous

[timlot]

34. If she was smart she would do it, but it makes too much sense.

She would have to take a back seat as the crowd roar and shout "Bernie" "Bernie" at every rally, but it gets her the presidency. Tough decision for someone looking to become the first female president.

[MoonRiver]

46. Bernie is 74 years old, among his other negatives.

She needs someone who can serve out 8 years, before being admitted to the nursing home!

[Beacool]

53. It makes zero sense.

He'll be 75 years old by election day and comes from a small mostly white NE state.

[timlot]

59. Nothing about Bernie's energy or appearance say 74yo.

As far as him being from a NE state. His message has resonated all over the country. He will help blunt some of the impact of Hillary losing white working class voters so bad.

[SheilaT]

35. If you think Bernie would actually stoop to

being Clinton's VP, you don't understand much about him.

He would not be willing to go along with her terrible policies.

[SidDithers]

40. Hard no...nt

Sid

[NWCorona]

42. I would be bummed if he excepted the position but it's Hillary's only chance. nt

[lumberjack_jeff]

43. a) won't happen. b) that isn't what the voters want.

What I want to hear from the convention are clear commitments to overturn citizens united, expand access to health care (ideally through single payer of medicare for all), an end to superdelegates, etc.

[pdsimdars]

44. It doesn't make sense to "inside the beltway" thinking.. . but

when she gets indicted Bernie could take over.

[bigwillq]

45. No (nt)

[QC]

47. No way the people who own her would allow that. n/t

[JCMach1]

50. this morning, I would say it's more likely to happen.

[Beacool]

51. No, it will never happen.

She will choose someone younger than herself and from a diverse state.

[polly7]

52. He is so overqualified it would be a complete fucking joke and waste.

Do you really think a man who's worked his entire life for actual people would take orders from someone who's destroyed the lives of millions around the world?

[carburyme]

56. Fuckin over the top!

"destroyed the lives of millions around the world"? WTfuck?

I only read such stuff from Repuglican turds at yahoo comment section

[polly7]

57. Not over the top at all. Learn some history. nt.

[w4rma]

54. If she's the nominee, she has burnt too many bridges to not pick a unifier. (nt)

[azmom]

55. The oligarchy does not like Bernie talking.

Won't happen.

[Maedhros]

58. Still wouldn't vote for her, and my respect for Bernie would decrease.[n/t]

[Howler]

61. Ah... NO,

That is all.

[UCmeNdc]

62. It would be the best for both Sanders and Clinton

It will also be great for the Democratic Party
