+++ still_one Feb 2020 #76

Bloomberg would negate the pro-gun stuff too. LexVegas Feb 2020 #2

And Bernie would negate the flinty-eyed capitalist thing. Blue_true Feb 2020 #66

Right, I can just see this. dhol82 Feb 2020 #3

They'd have nothing on Felix and Oscar BeyondGeography Feb 2020 #4

There's an old saying customerserviceguy Feb 2020 #12

Dang, you beat me to it Clash City Rocker Feb 2020 #54

That would win, but I don't think Bernie would agree. I could be wrong. Liberty Belle Feb 2020 #5

We shouldn't have to keep the Berners on board. TwilightZone Feb 2020 #6

Do you say that on every thread about every group of voters? Cuthbert Allgood Feb 2020 #11

Yes, it applies to all groups. TwilightZone Feb 2020 #21

Would you please just cut the crap? How about we KPN Feb 2020 #78

I've seen more than a few people talking about other people they know who won't vote for Bernie redqueen Feb 2020 #87

Every other group of voters Codeine Feb 2020 #59

So the logical conclusion would seem to be to give young voters who they want. Cuthbert Allgood Feb 2020 #67

Not a fan of hostage taking. nt Codeine Feb 2020 #68

Just so we're clear on your stance... Cuthbert Allgood Feb 2020 #75

Sublimating the preferences of the many Codeine Feb 2020 #80

So we are on the same page that one needs to win the votes of voters Cuthbert Allgood Feb 2020 #81

Gloom and doom isn't the hallmark of the Bro contingent. Codeine Feb 2020 #88

If the two were to combine to form a ticket TexasTowelie Feb 2020 #7

Bernie/Amy cilla4progress Feb 2020 #8

Bernie to give away Bloomberg's billions? bucolic_frolic Feb 2020 #10

Yes, imagine teaming up with.... George II Feb 2020 #15

Why would we need to "keep the Berners on board"? Where else is there to go other than trump? George II Feb 2020 #14

Because we need enthusiasm and turnout. Bernie brings that. DanTex Feb 2020 #17

That's an intangible. People are saying he brought out the vote last night, which.... George II Feb 2020 #26

re: "in 2016 about 135,000 voted for other candidates, in 2020 217,000 voted for other candidates." thesquanderer Feb 2020 #56

An unenthusiastic vote Mz Pip Feb 2020 #28

Yeah, problem is lack of enthusiasm means low turnout. DanTex Feb 2020 #31

Offset by a preponderance of enthusiasm to see trump gone. LanternWaste Feb 2020 #40

Yeah, that was the strategy 2016. Didn't work. DanTex Feb 2020 #42

So basically, Codeine Feb 2020 #58

There's been little evidence of that thus far. TwilightZone Feb 2020 #33

The "youth vote" in New Hampshire was only 14% of the total vote.... George II Feb 2020 #36

Yep. TwilightZone Feb 2020 #38

They should be on board with our eventual nominee. If they haven't learned oasis Feb 2020 #24

Oh, honey! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! NurseJackie Feb 2020 #16

A Bloomberg Yang ticket would be better wiley Feb 2020 #18

That would be pretty funny to watch. BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #19

Seems highly unlikely Dem2 Feb 2020 #22

If Bloom really, zentrum Feb 2020 #23

The republican party has already cancelled dozens of primaries. How would any other candidate.... George II Feb 2020 #29

Right. It's too late now. zentrum Feb 2020 #91

Step away from the pipe. 58Sunliner Feb 2020 #25

That was just the thing I needed... a really good laugh Peacetrain Feb 2020 #27

Lol, I laughed too. cwydro Feb 2020 #85

I think because of their ages, they need to select a younger VP. underthematrix Feb 2020 #30

It thought the proposal so uninspiring that I didn't even think of the two men themselves: George II Feb 2020 #35

You probably haven't heard but white evangelicals have been appropriating underthematrix Feb 2020 #39

Quite true. Laelth Feb 2020 #32

I could see a Bernie/Kamala ticket. I love her line about "trump's rapsheet." Peregrine Took Feb 2020 #34

Clinton/Sanders would have beat Trump. This election Sanders & VPWarren or VPYang Sunlei Feb 2020 #37

I can't see those two getting along. CanonRay Feb 2020 #43

oh yeah two old white men....what 'enthusiasm' do you speak of? samnsara Feb 2020 #45

Bloomberg would not be second to Sanders. krissey Feb 2020 #46

lol bernie would never be VEEP to bloomburg lololololol nt msongs Feb 2020 #47

I don't see them teaming up. CentralMass Feb 2020 #48

Sanders twitter feed would erupt. irisblue Feb 2020 #49

No way in hell are the Berners joining forces with a "moderate" Blue_Tires Feb 2020 #50

I'm for any ticket that doesn't include Sanders calguy Feb 2020 #51

Sanders Turin_C3PO Feb 2020 #83

how about nah. MFM008 Feb 2020 #52

Impossible they could not get along . rwheeler31 Feb 2020 #53

Lol ! OnDoutside Feb 2020 #55

Best laugh I've had all evening. I hope you meant this as a joke. highplainsdem Feb 2020 #57

Two nearly 80 year old guys on the same ticket? BlueStater Feb 2020 #60

But will Bernie be willing to take the VP slot? brooklynite Feb 2020 #61

That would be some ideological diversity democrattotheend Feb 2020 #62

If that were to ever happen.... jcmaine72 Feb 2020 #63

lol. I'm willing to go with just about anything at this point. ecstatic Feb 2020 #64

It would be a very strange pairing. But I agree that it would work out well. nt Blue_true Feb 2020 #65

Two things... Happy Hoosier Feb 2020 #69

You're probably right about #1. DanTex Feb 2020 #70

Dunno. We'll never find out, of course... Happy Hoosier Feb 2020 #71

No, we won't. Just a thought experiment. Which apparently bombed lol. DanTex Feb 2020 #72

Take heart! Literally! Happy Hoosier Feb 2020 #73

Aww thanks! DanTex Feb 2020 #74

I find it difficult to imagine either of these individuals taking the VP. 33taw Feb 2020 #77

Anybody and Anybody could beat Trump C_U_L8R Feb 2020 #79

To dream the impossible dream.... comradebillyboy Feb 2020 #82

Bernie hates billionaires, or so he says. cwydro Feb 2020 #84

Yeah... why should we have any options other than old white dudes? MrsCoffee Feb 2020 #86

Yep. sheshe2 Feb 2020 #92

I'd imagine an entire host of possibilities could beat trump. LanternWaste Feb 2020 #89

Literally no way that a ticket with *TWO* 78-year-olds would win. Nor should it. CalFione Feb 2020 #93

hmmm... PETRUS Feb 2020 #94
