1. If he even seriously _considers_ the VP slot, I'll be extremely disappointed in him.

I have more trust in his character than that, though...

[tritsofme]

15. Likewise I would be deeply disappointed if Hillary seriously considered him for the job.

Luckily I won't be, she has much better judgment. No one is considering him, even theoretically.

[flor-de-jasmim]

2. To be muzzled...?? No, thanks

[Rosa Luxemburg]

3. why would he want to be her VP?

[oldandhappy]

4. He will not be veep.

clinton needs obedience

5. If Clinton is going to pick a New Englander, sorry, it won't be the 75 yr old white guy

It'd be Liz Warren, someone who would be primed to run for president in 2024.

[Garrett78]

19. She'll turn 75 in June of 2024.

Warren will never be POTUS, nor do I think she'll ever be VP.

6. No, I don't think he would want it.

I think (hope?) we'll see the start of a new, vibrant progressive movement to work on the issues he's brought to the forefront and to elect candidates (particularly to congress) who support true progressive policies and ideals. One of the first tasks? Campaign finance reform and cleaning up voting process.

9. Please please please....

change the rules so that the President cannot go to war until the Congress specifically authorizes it.
Right now, Congress delegates the responsibility to the President because they don't want to be responsible for making the decision.
But the decision rightfully belongs to the people, not to the Presidency.

[Yes, I understand we can't really say that Congress represents the will of the people but that what they are intended to represent in the government]

[TDale313]

12. The rule's already there. It's congress who declares war according to the constitution.

Sadly they abdicate that responsibility like so many of their other responsibilities - by just not actually calling what our military does a "war"

But I do absolutely agree with your point.

[Fresh_Start]

16. Thank you for understanding in spite of how badly I worded it nt

7. Clinton supporters aren't capable of understanding.

"A job" isn't what Sanders wants.

[annavictorious]

11. We understand that very well, dear.

A "job" implies actual work.

[DavidDvorkin]

18. No, it's adulation.

[DrDan]

23. it is actually quite easy to understand . . . and I doubt if it is in the cards anyway

Hillary really needs someone who can actually get some results

[Travis_0004]

8. I don't see why he would want to be VP

The only reason I could see wanting to be VP is if you wanted to run for president in 8 years. His age may not be a problem now, but 8 years from now at 82 a lot of people would consider him too old to run for president.

[lamp_shade]

13. I think Hillary has somebody in mind who is currently young enough and who will

easily qualify to run and win in 2024.

[TheCowsCameHome]

14. Bill?

[Ferd Berfel]

17. Absurd - What a waste that would be

If Clinton is the Nom we will need Bernie and Warren in teh Senate to try and stop her RW agenda.

THe VP slot is a dead end job. THe VP is rather obligated to do what they're told. Can't see Bernie bending over for that.

[SidDithers]

20. No...

Not if he continues to contest the primary.

21. I don't want him any part of a Clinton administration.

If he's not nominated, he'll be needed in the Senate, rather than being stifled by Clinton.

[bigwillq]

22. Bernie will not be VP

Two old white folk from the Northeast on the same ticket? Unlikely.

[fun n serious]

24. He wants it but Hillary will alienate her base so NO.

Before his win in MI his campaign hinted about it and said he would consider it....
