not Bernie Sanders as a potential running mateSource: Business Insider, by Susan Heavey, Reuters
Hillary Clinton is considering Sen. Elizabeth Warren for her running mate for the Democratic presidential ticket, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing several people familiar with the process.
Warren, a leading progressive voice among Democrats, is among those whom Democratic presidential candidate Clinton is vetting for the vice presidential position, the newspaper reported. Clinton's rival Bernie Sanders is not, it added.
Sources told Reuters earlier this month that Warren, who represents Massachusetts, is considering the potential role.

So, why not wait patiently that Mrs Clinton makes her choice.
BTW, only an idiot thinks it is news that Sanders is not considered.

Like a sponsor.
Warren will keep her honest; not that I doubt her but it's obvious that others do (thanks to media narratives).
