Bernie Sanders was asked if he would consider being Vice-President-his answer “We’ll see”.

[asuhornets]

Hillary would never pick him as her VP choice. He said “we’ll see” as if he would have some say so in the matter. I can guarantee you Sanders is not on Clinton’s VP short list.

[Renew Deal]

1. Bernie wouldn't say no

I think his ego wants it.

[asuhornets]

7. Of course he wants it---ain't gonna happen....Democrats are tired of him...eom

[Hortensis]

25. Agree won't happen, but not for that reason.

Yes, Sanders might take it, although I see no reason to assume he would and I very highly doubt he thinks an offer would be made.

As for Democrats being "tired" of him, though, the only reason to consider him would be that many Democrats have been inspired by him and would like him as VP. That said, it seems pretty likely that Hillary is tired of his tricks. The notion of being stuck with him for 4 years is probably about as appealing as sticking a needle in her eye, or possibly less.

And of course, who thinks he could work amicably and effectively with her even if he would? Bernie will accomplish whatever he accomplishes, or not, on his own. That's his way.

[Armstead]

48. Maybe 1/3 to 1/2 are tired of him....And many, many are tired of Clinton in a bigger way

including many who voted for Clinton but express a preference for a different candidate.

Many Democrats are either ambivalent and would be happy with either, or supported Clinton for "pragmatic" and/or gender reasons, but personally would prefer someone else were running -- and many prefer Sanders message and values and positions.

[asuhornets]

49. I can agree with that to a certain extent. nt

[Armstead]

50. We're both being kinda reasonable on DU....Wotta concept

[frylock]

68. I always have to laugh when Hillary Supporter mentions Bernie's "ego"

None so fucking blind.

[ms liberty]

80. This. n/t

[JonLeibowitz]

2. Looks like asuhornets doesn't understand the future conditional tense of the English language.

That's a shame.

[asuhornets]

5. whateva. stay on topic.

[JonLeibowitz]

10. The point is you don't understand the question is predicated on him being offered the VP

However unlikely it is is completely irrelevant. That's the future conditional I am referring to that you can't seem to grasp.

[asuhornets]

11. ok

[DebDoo]

3. He's probably contemplating what he'd do if the person the DNC replaces Hillary with asks

[Txbluedog]

4. So he would consider being Biden's VP?

[asuhornets]

6. No.. he said we'll see..the answer should have been no--until u r asked.

Which of course she won't...

[DebDoo]

8. He wouldn't say yes to her, not that she'll get a chance to ask

[asuhornets]

9. He would definitely say YES

[DebDoo]

12. Nope, he wouldn't. Hillary embodies, embraces and extends everything he's against.

[Sunlei]

55. Yes he would, as President Obama recently said, "They're both good people"

They'd work well together.

[emulatorloo]

81. Sorry, Trump embodies everything he's against.

He's said several positive things about HRC and vice versa. That being said, demographics and age mean neither of them will end up as the VP IMHO

[geek tragedy]

13. He answered it pretty well--no good answer for that question nt

[BootinUp]

14. No, we won't see, lol.

More Bernie delusions on parade.

[skylucy]

15. He would never pass the vetting process for VP. The Republicans would have a field day

with all the opposition research they have been holding back in the hope that he might be the candidate of their dreams.

[Sunlei]

52. He's been a sitting Senator for decades, he'd be a good President or VP. as would Mrs. Clinton.

[skylucy]

67. Hi Sunlei--My comment was not about whether Senator Sanders (or Hillary) would be good a

President or good VP. I was just expressing my opinion about what the Republicans would do during the campaign with all their opposition research. Not saying what the GOP does/would do is right, fair or ethical. Everyone just needs to face reality. Of course, the GOP will go after whomever is chosen as the VP candidate. But to say that the GOP wouldn't twist everything and anything about Bernie's life/record etc. is just not being realistic. They have shown that they play gutter politics and Trump has taken that to new levels of low. That said, if Hillary were to pick Bernie as her VP, I would support that choice. If she picked Elizabeth Warren or Sherrod Brown I would support that too. Whomever would give the Dems the best chance to WIN in November against that lunatic Trump! Thank you for commenting in a respectful way to my post. It gives me hope that we Dems can unite so we can be victorious!

Beatles 4 Ever! (Non political statement there from an old lady who remembers the 60's)

[frylock]

69. Yeah, all that oppo research that Hillary has been sitting on humiliating loss after loss..

just out of the kindness of her heart. NEWS FLASH: If that damaging info was out there like Hillary Supporter has laid claim for a year now, Hillary would've used it.

[skylucy]

70. Except that the "loss after loss" is not something that Hillary has been getting. She has 3 million

more votes than Bernie. She has won the Democratic Primary and Bernie has lost it. And I guess you think that Trump is would continue his little "love fest" if Bernie were the nominee? And of course, the GOP political machine would just blow kisses and continue to hammer on Hillary if Bernie were the actual Dem. nominee?

[frylock]

72. blahblahblah 3 million blahblahblahs

So does Hillary's oppo research team suck so badly that they couldn't dig something up to sink Bernie, or....?

[bettyellen]

73. Or..... She never needed to get ugly and it was never advantageous for her to.

[frylock]

75. Her surrogates got ugly early.

No need to dirty her hands when there are so many sycophants willing to do the work for you.

[bettyellen]

77. Bernie was foolish to take the bait, ha ha. But I think both candidates have always been smarter

Than their surrogates, especially the Tweeting and FB ones. Thank god they don't sway anyone.

[skylucy]

74. Are you really a Bernie supporter? If you are sincere and trying to spread his

message and ideology, you need to work on your presentation.

[frylock]

76. Oh, that is fucking rich.

[asuhornets]

16. LOL...Agreed

[mac56]

30. "Bernie delusions"?

More like Team Hillary fantasies.

Either way, it ain't gonna happen.

[Lucinda]

17. I will be shocked if he is anywhere in her cabinet

While they may have many of the same goals, he is not a leader, and I think she will have a VP who will take point in a key area. Bernie doesn't seem to have the skillset needed.

[asuhornets]

19. agreed

[DebDoo]

45. Bernie is the definition of leader. He knows what's right and fights for it *before* it is the

Easy thing to stand up for. He doesn't wait until safe to jump onboard, he builds the ship everyone jumps onto.

[Lucinda]

79. His congressional record says otherwise. n/t

[Live and Learn]

18. Just a polite way of saying, "what a stupid question." nt

[B Calm]

20. You prefer a Debbie Wasserman Shultz?

That will be a sure winner, right?

[asuhornets]

22. For VP...absolutely not

[B Calm]

23. Why?

[asuhornets]

26. I can't see DWS as president.

[B Calm]

27. Or you know it's a sure way of losing the GE to pick a Hillary clone for VP.

[asuhornets]

29. she won't pick DWS...

[B Calm]

31. Or anyone like DWS, another third wayer perhaps?

[asuhornets]

33. Third Way, Oligarchy, Billionaire class..Most people are not concern with that..

[B Calm]

36. LOL. There's a reason why people no longer feel their party represents them anymore. If

Hillary ignores that fact, she has no clear path to victory in November.

[asuhornets]

37. Of course she has path to victory..That's why people are always putting her in a negative light

[B Calm]

38. We'll see!

[morningfog]

28. "We'll see" if she is at the top of the ticket.

[asuhornets]

32. But..she is at the top of the ticket. Why is that so hard to admit..

I can admit Sanders is doing much better than I expected..And I like some of his ideas.

[morningfog]

34. She has not secured the nomination and the FBI investigation continues.

[asuhornets]

40. But she will secure the nomination in a week..There is nothing anyone can do about that.

As far as the FBI nonsense it does not have to away--because it will not change the outcome. More voters chose her. Would you agree to that?

[morningfog]

47. Actually she will not. She will secure a majority of the pledged delegates on June 7.

And none of us know what will come of the FBI criminal investigation. But is is as far from "nonsense" as you can get.

[LWolf]

35. I wouldn't want him to be

VP. If he's not president, I'd rather see him in the Senate.

[asuhornets]

43. Me too...I don't hate the guy..but lately he's been trippin'...nt

[DebDoo]

46. I don't want Bernie hitched to that train wreck of corruption.

[Sunlei]

39. past couple months they both have left the VP door open. I want the Yin & Yang dream team.

They will Unite the D party against the Republicans Tabloid-President 'frontrunner'....IF 'The Donald' even makes it through the republicans primary convention.

[asuhornets]

41. I hear Trump is broke..He has 70 people to Hillary 700 people.

[Sunlei]

54. but Trump is the "King of Twitter", his Fellow richie rich Republicans could back him.

If the moneybags-Republicans really wanted their late night drunk- 'Lord of Twitter mocking' as president.

[asuhornets]

56. LOL..King of Twitter....nt

[sufrommich]

42. No thanks.nt

[asuhornets]

44. lol...nt

[tonyt53]

51. I highly doubt if she ever considered it at all. Highly doubt it. And she should never have.

[SamKnause]

53. If he is asked, I hope he declines.

[Sunlei]

57. 1,340,000 results , "Clinton Sanders as VP" They've both left the door wide open, every time asked

[shawn703]

58. It's a polite answer from Sanders

No way does he want to be her VP and work for a corporatist tool.

[Sunlei]

59. He's already a Senator who 'works for' a whole Gov and country full of corporatist tools

[asuhornets]

60. Yes he does...n/t

[shawn703]

61. Dream on, it's nothing more than a Clintonite wet dream

To try to bring the progressives into the fold for the general. If she's foolish enough to ask, he'll turn her down so fast her head will spin.

[asuhornets]

62. We need to bring the party together!!!! nt

[gollygee]

63. I don't think she would pick him because she'd want someone younger than the two of them

But Bernie and Hillary are not as far apart as people at DU paint them. Bernie is more progressive to be sure, but he isn't so far left of Hillary that he hates her and would never want to have anything to do with her administration. That's a DU delusion.

[asuhornets]

64. I can live with that...nt

[sellitman]

65. Not a chance in hell

Neither side would agree.

Neither side would benefit.

[asuhornets]

66. Agreed....nt

[AgingAmerican]

71. Gasp! "We'll See" OMG The horror!

Hillary supporters are silly in their panic sometimes

[Gomez163]

78. HE'S TOO OLD
