very keenly - not for his own self interests - but for the good of many. hillary would only offer bernie the vp if she believed 1) it would help her win the presidency
2) there were many more other perks
3) she would not hesitate to dump him if he displeased her in any way. bernie just is not the kind of man who would consider a situation whereby someone would think they could just dump him. he doesn't just hand over his power.
