How do people think a Bernie/Biden ticket would do?

Would Biden take VP for a second time? Would they compliment each other?

Edit:

I’m not sure why so many people think this is a joke. Bernie would anchor the left and Biden would anchor the center.

Neither is my first choice but my first choice dropped out and my second choice needs a miracle.

1. Uh no

No no no

[EveHammond13]

2. NO. Each cancel out the other's strengths and base

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. It would be ridiculous.

1. An old man with a heart condition should not choose an old running mate.
2. Biden would not take second fiddle again, and certainly not for Bernie.
3. Bernie would not take a running-dog revanchist bourgeois tool of the capitalist oligarchy as a running mate. Biden isn't pure enough.

6. "running-dog revanchist bourgeois tool of the capitalist oligarchy"

you owe me a keyboard!

[cwydro]

7. Lol!

So well said!

[irisblue]

11. I haven't said 'running dog' for a long long time.

Well done

[emmaverybo]

15. "Running-dog revanchist bourgeois tool" fills me with wonder and awe.

[Mr.Bill]

4. Don't quit your day job.

You aren't very good at comedy.

[TheCowsCameHome]

5. Not very well.

Actually, not a chance.

[bearsfootball516]

8. Yikes.

[homegirl]

9. I change my

mind every day. Today---Bloomberg/Kobuchar

But in the long run I would really want Adam Schiff/Elizabeth Warren.

Feinstein is my Senator and I know it is time for her to retire and be replaced by Schiff- put him on the next step to the White House!


VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO!!!

[krissey]

10. Two 80 yr old men, one having just had a heart attack.

[PatSeg]

12. Absolutely not!

[democratisphere]

13. This is a joke, right?

[yonder]

14. Like a two day old Rueben sandwich with one slice each of Rye and Wonder

Edible, maybe even nutritious but not tasty while likely to cause some indigestion (or worse) later on.

[BusyBeingBest]

16. Which one's Waldorf and which one's Statler?

[redstatebluegirl]

17. No, I don't think Bernie would go for that, or Biden for that matter.

[LAS14]

18. Ridiculous. nt

[Retrograde]

19. Poorly

I don't see either of them taking second billing.

Compliment? Two elderly, white, male, Easterners?

[doc03]

20. Two candidates pushing 80, NO. nt

[Peacetrain]

21. too old.. end of story

[pinkstarburst]

22. A compromise ticket

with both a progressive and a moderate is the way we need to go to get out the vote, but two 80-year-old men is a doomed prospect.

Better tickets (depending on who the nominee is):

Bernie/Harris
Bernie/Klobuchar
Bernie/Booker

Biden/Warren
Biden/Harris
Biden/Castro

[Zolorp]

23. Non-starter

[Still In Wisconsin]

24. No way. Bernie would need a total sycophant.

That's not Joe. He'd be much more likely to pick someone like Jill Stein.

[lunasun]

25. Some kind of unity ticket if no clear winner would help defeat trump

[customerserviceguy]

26. Two old white males on the ticket?

Kiss goodbye the votes of women and POC. Oh, if they're solidly Democratic, yes, they may vote for it, but they won't get out their friends/family.

[wiley]

28. If Bernie is at the top of the ticket we lose at least 40 states

The moderate Democrats nor inedependents will vote for Sanders.

[customerserviceguy]

34. It just flabbergasts me

how folks put together two people running for the nomination as a "dream ticket". Picking an also-ran as a running mate is a rare event, and it only worked half the time within my lifetime (Reagan-Bush), it did not work for Kerry-Edwards.

[wiley]

27. A Bernie ticket with anyone will lose us the House, Senate and POTUS

Doesn’t matter who he chose.

[redstateblues]

30. Unfortunately I'm afraid you are right

My Dem leaning independent spouse won't vote for Bernie-she's a Trump hater so that's not a concern. I'm not sure what she would do. There's a lot of folks like that. I'll vote whoever is nominated. I'm not feeling good about the situation we Democrats are in

[highplainsdem]

29. Never happen.

[handmade34]

31. No

[Mike Nelson]

32. No, no...

... Bernie would never pick Biden ... and Biden would never accept Bernie's offer.

[Polybius]

33. Biden Hillary would make more sense

I think she’d take it too.

[applegrove]

35. They were talking about Stacey Abrams as the vp on Real Time. VP candidate

for whomever wins the nomination.
