(18,837 posts)I don't see her offering it to him, even if it would bring in his supporters' votes.
I could be wrong, but I just don't see the possibility. I don't see Elizabeth Warren being offered the spot either.
I keep seeing Sherrod Brown and Julian Castro's names coming up. They have mixed appeal here on DU, but most of DU knows who they are. If I went to ten of my friends and tossed their name into a conversation, they'd go "Who?" But every one of the ten would know Sanders and Warren.
My prediction is that Clinton will pick someone palatable to the Democrats as a whole...not too progressive to anger her base, not too close to her own platform to anger progressives, but it will not be someone with a profile in the mass consciousness that is equal to or higher than hers.
