If Sanders indeed runs as an Independent after the DNC, we have no choice but to invite Elizabeth Warren for the VP candidate. Now we all are witnessing how low and deplorable Trump really is!

1. We'll have to wait to see how low and deplorable Sanders is.

[Tommy2Tone]

3. Pretty low to me

I have always thought he would run as an independent. He has a Ralph Nader kind of ego.

[stopbush]

8. Yep. That would be the end of him politically.

He would be ostracized in the Senate and would have a D opponent in 2018.

2. We have no choice? Really?

We need every Dem senator that we can get, and we need to keep the ones we have now.

[Light63]

4. I'm just afraid so!

If Sanders indeed run as an Independent, we need Warren to attract not only Sanders' supporters but independents as well in order to beat Trump.

[displacedtexan]

6. No, we don't. They'd throw her under the bus along with everyone else...

...they deem as traitors to Sanders.

5. Trump you are such a loser to think people really pay attention to you. You're such a clown

WE GONNA SQUASH YOU! You won't know what hit ya! First teachable moment of your life!!!

[Walk away]

7. I find Sanderes deplorable but I can't believe that he is dispicable as his Followers!

I could be wrong.

[Stuckinthebush]

10. Sanders is deplorable but he's not a moron

He won't do that

[book_worm]

9. Bernie won't run as an independent--even he knows why Trump

is encouraging him to do so.

11. Lol. When the best Foreign Policy exp between them is

..Jeff Sessions & The Pope, I can't fking wait!

[yallerdawg]

12. It's funny!

Sanders runs around saying how he is the candidate to beat Trump and every other Republican - "Look at the polls!"

The Republicans always say, "Sanders is the candidate we fear most!"

And now the presumptive Republican nominee is saying how Bernie has been wronged and should run as an independent to show them Democrats?

Don't worry - Bernie won't bite. But it does expose the shell game the Republicans are playing with their 'trembling fear' of a Sanders campaign!

13. No one with a brain listens to Trump

[Tarheel_Dem]

14. Warren, on the ticket, won't be the result of any shenanigans by Trump & BS. This is why they've...

barely laid a glove on BS all this time, they would love to run against him, or at least have him play the role of spoiler.

[Lucinda]

15. No. Lots of great options for Hillary, should Bernie go rogue.

Warren would be one of them, but there are lots of others. And many Bernie fans are mad that Warren didn't endorse Bernie.

[Light63]

17. Lucinda, please find me a VP with the charisma, savviness, and

Political experience like Joe Biden for Hillary. I just could not! I suggested Elizabeth Warren to offset Bernie's supporters in case he runs as an independent comes July.

[Lucinda]

19. Her choice will likely be someone with serious experience in one of her key areas.

Biden has been invaluable to Obama navigating through congress. Hillary already has those ties, so I suspect her VP choice will be someone who can step into leadership on one of the areas she has campaigned hard on...like energy and jobs, etc.

I don't think she will announce her pick until after the GOP convention, and the choice made there may help her cull her list further.

We have a huge bench to choose from. Brown, Booker, Inslee, and Castro are just a few that come quickly to mind...and I'm still digging in to Warren, and the other potential female candidates, since her campaign has said they aren't ruling out a double female ticket.

[NurseJackie]

16. Oh no! We're doomed! Not that!

[Jayd4sho]

18. Sanders' role

Can't Hillary appoint Sanders as head of the EPA. It's perfect. He does what hes good at (preaching the ever changing climate) and I think he would do well in it, while uniting the Democrats in the process.

[Cha]

20. He's scared shitless of Hillary.
