they were pretty chummy at the last debate. Also, there's not a massive difference in their positions on most of the issues, and I think they respect each other as allies. Certainly, if one of them were to become President, that person would need the help and cooperation from the other in getting an agenda through the Senate.

It would not surprise me if they were to cut a deal under the right circumstances. Say that we go into the convention with Joe Biden holding 40% of the first-ballot delegates, and the combination of Sanders and Warren holding over 50% of that number. If the alternative is to wait for the superdelegates to put Biden over the top, I can see them working out a situation where Sanders is the nominee, and Warren is his VP, in order to ensure that a Democratic Presidency does not go the way of a moderate administration.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
I don't agree with many of Warren's policy's (notably MFA), but my primary reservation with her is LincolnRossiter Aug 2019 #1
