(11,945 posts)I've seen Biden saying nice things about Bernie lately, but he himself has wanted the presidency for a long time. Plus, it would be an older, northeastern, white male ticket. Not very balanced.

Biden would probably love to get Bernie's supporters, though, now that the Hill camp kicked us in the teeth in Nevada. We may not know it yet, but our big beautiful motley crew has become a hot political property.

Bernie: How did you get this number?

Bernie: How did you get this number?
Me: You see, I was talking to the Pope yesterday, and...
Bernie: *click*
