2016 Democratic Presidential Primary-Bernie Sanders gets the Democratic nomination.

Assuming Sanders gets the Democratic nomination for the 2016 US Presidential Election, which Republican Presidential candidate will Sanders have an easier time defeating in the November General Election and Republican Presidential candidate will Sanders have a difficult time defeating in the November General Election.
If the Republicans were to win the 2016 US Presidential Election, any chance the 2nd place finisher in the 2016 Democratic Presidential Primary(Clinton or Sanders) challenge the Republican incumbent in 2020.
If Sanders wins the Democratic nomination- any chance he chooses Hillary as his VP Runningmate and will it help in the November General or does he select a younger rising star(VA US Senators)

Berniemania is a very real thing, and is engaging people who aren't normally interested in voting for the status quo.

Make sure that the Hillary voters don't stay home in November. Hillary is qualified to be acting President if Sanders becomes unable to perform his duties as President.

Will Hillary be interested in becoming an Associate Justice to the US Supreme Court for the remaining years of her political career?

would make a good VP. Not to be confused with her sister who seems a bit nutty.

PS. currently there are no Republicans seeking the nomination that will be able to beat Bernie should he get the Democratic Party nomination.

I don't know much about her. All I know is she has excellent labor credentials and she heads up a Hispanic caucus in California. Her sister is a Blue Dog Democrat, but votes mostly like a liberal so that's kind of weird. They seem to get along well. So, I don't know if Linda would be smeared with the Blue Dog label by association or not. Personally I know how different I am from my sisters so it means nothing to me that her sister professes to have some conservative view points.
