What a waste that would be.

There, fixed the error in the OP.

I'm going to eat a bug and nobody in America wants that
so they'll let him be president.

Against your OP

My Post Is Sincere, At Least I'm Not Grave Dancing...

and no presidential nominee for years to come. I hope we aren't that stupid.

Ummmm wtf I don't understand your logic?

The usual age decline began for Reagan before he left the White House. For the executive branch to be occupied by two office holders who are in advanced age makes it much more likely that we would see a president Ryan than I am comfortable with. At the very least should have a younger VP who will be able to run after the term is over.

Warren, Booker, or Sharrod Brown.

His wife doesn't want it. He LOVES being a Senator and we need him where he is.

He and Connie like living in their neighborhood, taking walks, driving to the store, etc. I think this is one pol that has a realistic view and doesn't want to live in the bubble.

He would be a strategic pick though, probably the best one. Ohio loves him and he has the progressive credentials to help balance the ticket.

I'm not sure. 1) Universal Healthcare is Bern's passion. 2) Hill has a track record of burying the hatchet with erstwhile political rivals. 3) Bill Clinton pawned healthcare off on Hill because he knew it would eat him up. It ate Hill up. 4) Hillary has made it a key issue of her platform to protect/expand Obamacare. She might not be so cocky as to think she can do that and be effective with the rest of her platform all by herself. 4) Hill and Bern are not that far off on healthcare.

never going to happen. Ever.

Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio. Book it.

I would erase every newspaper and political site off my computer and become a hermit. I have had poor judgement a time or two in my life but I would bet my life that this good man would never ever consider being under the thumb of HRC. What a phenomenally BAD idea to try to place Bernie in any part of her administration.

He was accepted into the party and he is a smart and good human being. I don't for one minute think that means he agrees with her on much but it does mean he is holding his end of the deal up. His endorsement does not mean any of us have to follow along.

and nobody is ever going to tell me how to vote. I had better vote Democrat? Give me a Democrat to vote for. A real one.

In fact, the choice of VEEP is often a strategic choice, somebody from an area of the country where the candidate needs some support. And I think Bernie fully intends to serve out his term in the US Senate if he fails to get the nomination, although a cabinet position might entice him.

But not VEEP. I don't think Hillary Clinton would offer it, and I don't think he would accept it if she did. It is just the wrong thing to do.

She will very likely select somebody younger, as would Bernie if he gets the nomination.

BTW, I must say. The best VEEP in my lifetime has been Joe Biden. That is saying a lot, since I was born in the late 40's and remember Ike getting elected in 52. The second best was LBJ.

not even in your dreams.

We need Sanders in the Senate. The veep for clinton will be someone obedient. Sanders will keep fighting and talking and those of us who listen will work for issues to be included in the party platform and then in bills in the Senate. Maybe clinton will pick o'malley. That will fit your picture.

makes things very unpleasant to read, sir. That is a terrible, unfriendly practice.

& How Exactly Is That Coñsidered Unfriendly?

Literally painful to read.

1:He dared to challenge clinton
2:Clintons only support those loyal to him
3:Bernie would sell out all he believes in and those who supported him by being her vp.

It's as if becoming president is just collateral damage to the mission he sought.
His goal was to get folks talking about progressive issues again.

Unfortunately I think the Indy wind would leave his sails as soon as he signed onto the Clinton ticket but I'd still support it.

p.s. thank you Corey and THANK YOU OHIO!!

to all her donors. When will it sink in that she is simply a willing front for Wall Street and corporations.

to EVER even consider it! That's a REAL insult to me!

He'll be more effective in the Senate. He'd be a liability on the campaign trail.

It would make little sense for the DEM nominee to pick Bernie as VP.

His mission is too important for second fiddle.

Hillary's not generating enough excitement to win the general so I imagine it will be "The Donald" doing the appointing.

I know this place is snarky as hell

But even thinking that's shooting from the hip, that statement is ridiculous

To be clear ridiculous means 'worthy of ridicule', and that statement should be considered so.

Yeah that's never going to happen and I am beyond confident that Bernie Sanders would be the first to tell you he doesn't want the job.

two from the NE both around 70 years old

my choice would be someone like Castro - young Hispanic from the south

My money is on Julian Castro.
