And, no, the VP spot is in no way "more powerful" than it used to be. Dinners and funerals and tie-breaking. Feh. Hillary would just relegate Bernie to an office as far away as possible from her, and ignore him. He would be vastly more productive in the Senate. hey, he probably votes with the Democrats more often than a lot of DINOs do!
