Cabinet? I doubt it. I think he should continue to be a strong and assertive US Senator. Take on the administration where he sees fit and support it where he sees fit.

You do not want someone with her blind ambition and lack of ethics breathing down your neck.

Obama tried to play nice by naming her Secretary of State and look where that got him. The whole mideast is in flames thanks to her warmongering and bumbling.

Does that mean you would not vote for Bernie if he were the nominee? Or vice-versa?

Obama already did that with the SOS appoint. And her "experience" caused death, wars, and a general clusterfuck of poor decisions . she shouldn't ever be allowed to hold s position of power again. Not even the local pta.

If Hillary is the nominee, Julian Castro would be her best bet.

For Bernie...Tulsi Gabbard is just barely old enough, so she might be good. However, I don't think she would; she is nowhere near liberal enough for him.

There will be no coming back from this and since both parties represent the same .01%, they really don't care.

represents. I believe people invested in the Third Way should start their own party because they have a profound philosophical difference with Social Democrats. This has to be settled sooner or later or the party will lose coherence and influence from infighting.

I say, allow everyone to proudly declare what they believe up front and stop pretending to be a Democrat when you are a Republican or Third Way candidate. It is in itself dishonest.

We need Bernie fighting for us, either as President or Senator. If he's the VP he will be impotent. There's a reason one of the previous VP's likened being VP to "a bucket of warm spit".

Bernie and Hillary are on the opposite sides of the spectrum. Hillary represents the 1%, Bernie the 99%.
