...but if Hillary was kidnapped by aliens, the Dems and Biden would take the nom. Bernie was second and rightfully earned it, so the bad feelings would negate him as VP. To appease his voters, Biden would pick Warren.

I've seen Biden saying nice things about Bernie lately, but he himself has wanted the presidency for a long time. Plus, it would be an older, northeastern, white male ticket. Not very balanced.

Anyway, Biden's Blue Dog/DLC. TPTB don't want any Bernie anywhere.

Biden would probably love to get Bernie's supporters, though, now that the Hill camp kicked us in the teeth in Nevada. We may not know it yet, but our big beautiful motley crew has become a hot political property.

Bernie: Sanders here.
Me: Hey, buddy, it's Buns. How ya doing?
Bernie: How did you get this number?
Me: I don't want to keep you, I know you're pretty busy and all, but...
Bernie: How did you get this number?
Me: I just had a wild thought. What if you announced Joe Biden as your running mate?
Bernie: How did you get this number?
Me: You see, I was talking to the Pope yesterday, and...
Bernie: *click*

We kid around a lot.
