2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)I see only one way that Bernie wins the nomination. [View all]
I think that Hillary looks fairly unstoppable now.
I see only one way that Bernie pulls it off.
That is to convince Elizabeth Warren to be his running mate.
Very doubtful, I know.
But, if she would and they could announce it before the next debate, it would change everything.
Bernie might also announce that, because of his age, he will only serve one term. Thereby, giving Elizabeth the reins in four years.
Elizabeth would need to go out on the campaign trail and talk about the role of "banking sector type czar" that she will fill while VP.
I know it's a huge pipe dream.
But, I think it's his only chance.
I'm new here....but, flame away everyone. I can take it...lol.
