http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/19/politics/hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders-vice-president/Washington (CNN)Hillary Clinton didn't rule out Wednesday picking her Democratic presidential primary challenger, Bernie Sanders, from serving as her vice president.
"I won't get into that," she told CNN's Chris Cuomo in an exclusive interview, when asked if giving Sanders a spot on the ticket would help bring the party together.
She also declined to answer if Sanders was in consideration for the No. 2 slot.

(5,455 posts)6. Sanders is not going to be the VP nominee
The likely VP nominee is going to be male, probably Hispanic or Black and younger then 55.
Running a 68yr old for President and a 75 year old for VP would be a disaster in the general election, regardless of the party they belong to. There were major concerns regarding McCain in 2008 as being too old.

Bernie accepting VP slot would be best for Democratic party
