Look at the size of the crowds.

Bernie has been getting huge crowds. Under the current situation, the possibility is real that some poll numbers are fake - of course, but you cannot fake thousands of young people showing up for speech after speech.

They know that their futures depend on this election.

I have more faith in Berners than you. I think they'll come around. YouDig Jun 2016 #41

Why can't they do the right thing. Baobab Jun 2016 #42

I think they will, and vote for HIllary. Did you see what Trump said today? YouDig Jun 2016 #43

Good? No, it hurts her chances scscholar Jun 2016 #37

LOVE the idea of Warren as VP. Feathery Scout Jun 2016 #2

VP would be a waste of her talents notadmblnd Jun 2016 #30

I would love to see Warren on the ticket.... chillfactor Jun 2016 #3

He must think that Bernie is gonna cause a shit show rather than back the nominee. LuvLoogie Jun 2016 #5

They dont want another 1968. Gomez163 Jun 2016 #6

as long as the Philly police behave themselves this will be nothing like 1968 geek tragedy Jun 2016 #33

It's not about Sanders, it's about the votes of Sanders' supporters. n/t PoliticAverse Jun 2016 #11

Yes. The bulk of his supporters were originally hoping for Warren to run. LuvLoogie Jun 2016 #21

he can give his speech out there in the spot that's reserved geek tragedy Jun 2016 #34

People arent that stupid. Baobab Jun 2016 #40

I think that's been the presumption for a while now, despite geek tragedy Jun 2016 #17

Yeah, that was surprising so soon after Harry asked Democrats to lay off Bernie. LuvLoogie Jun 2016 #23

9 months ago I would say this surprised me. geek tragedy Jun 2016 #24

I mean it was surprising that Harry then turned arround and publicly told Bernie to "let it go." LuvLoogie Jun 2016 #28

I was a bit surprised by it, but I figured Reid was desperately trying to help talk Bernie geek tragedy Jun 2016 #29

Yeah. That is likely true. LuvLoogie Jun 2016 #32

No thanks. bunnies Jun 2016 #7

I prefer her in the Senate or Cabinet obamanut2012 Jun 2016 #8

A good choice, but would be problematic because of the Senate KingFlorez Jun 2016 #10

I don't buy it. 2banon Jun 2016 #12

She would have more influence in the senate. Chances are party leaders would select a third way B Calm Jun 2016 #13

This is a way to maybe have her replace Hillary after one term. Gomez163 Jun 2016 #14

I think they are looking at a way of giving her senate seat to a third wayer and have one less B Calm Jun 2016 #18

Depending on how quickly she'd be replaced, I'm more and more favoring her. geek tragedy Jun 2016 #16

Three reasons it will never happen. Exilednight Jun 2016 #19

Actually, I believe Mass would hold a special election Kelvin Mace Jun 2016 #20

Why, the governor gets to decide if there is a special election or an appointment. The only Exilednight Jun 2016 #25

I believe that Massachusetts operates a little differently than you are thinking. StevieM Jun 2016 #35

Politico is not reliable Kelvin Mace Jun 2016 #22

This would have to be a start only, not enough for me. JonLeibowitz Jun 2016 #36

Please, no. As Hillary's VP she'd have to tone it down. CanadaexPat Jun 2016 #26
