Bernie should become the VP.

Deals are made all the time. Problem is Bernie is not giving up like HRC did, so he may not become the VP, but he should.

Bernie is just not willing to make a deal so that he can get some job. He's never been in this for himself. If he was in it for himself he would have been asking Wall Street and others for campaign donations.

So, Bernie is not going to sell-out. That's my candidate!

Hillary lost in a very close election. Bernie lost in a landslide. Why should he be given greater concessions?

And acknowledging reality is not selling out.
