Hillary should choose Bernie Sanders as VP

[Freelancer]

You just know that from the instant Hillary is elected, the calls for her impeachment will be non-stop. If so, Hillary just has to point to VP Bernie and say "impeach me and you get a Democratic Socialist!"

1. Never going to happen!

Neither is impeachment.

3. Too much bigotry and bias against his sort of person thrives in her base of ardent supporters

You see it on DU all the time, openly stated hate for Bernie. It's not political for that lot. They hate him and all others like him. They would not vote for Hillary if Bernie was on the ticket. They are supremacists.

7. Sanders is not a team player, as evidenced by his lack of endorsements.

Besides, he hates the Democratic Party so no way does he deserve anything but polite respect.

12. Supremacists? Bernie being Jewish might be a problem for some, like Hillary being a woman.

Antisemitism and Sexism are 2 forms of bigotry that are still rampant.

A BS supporter recently posted a Rothschild (Joos run the world) post. One BS supporter even posted "Love the Jew, hate the Zionist." I could go on and on with posts like these.

14. Someone is having a bit of the vapors today

I don't think anyone here hates Bernie. It is possible to simply disagree with someone without making that person into a pariah. You should give that a whirl sometime.

9. A lot of people ought to be Democrats, but don't self-identify as such

Bernie is the pan-ultimate ought-to-be Democrat. IMO, he brings a lot of people into the cat-herd called the Democratic Party that you're not going to get any other way.

11. What a splendid idea!!!

Because the only person hated more than Hillary is... Bernie Sanders! Brilliant strategy!!!

15. I think you missed the point... they are both hated, but NOT by the same people.

The OP is saying that Bernie would be hated more by the people who would try to impeach her. That that portion of "the establishment" who is against her would arguably be against Bernie even more. (Who knows.) In terms of the public at large, Hillary's unfavorables are MUCH higher than Bernie's.

16. But... but...

Hillary has more votes than Bernie, proving that she is much more beloved by everyone! She won! She won! She won!
