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.

1. The last person whose name was floated as a VP for Hillary had been associated with Bain Capital

I don't see her picking anyone not blessed by Wall Street.

2. I don't see Bernie agreeing to be VP

Although stranger things have happened...

[Wellstone ruled]

3. Oh boy,way to funny at this stage of the Campaigns.

Might as well throw the Pope into the mix. CNN,what a cruel joke.

[LiberalElite]

5. Should be good for a few clicks - I clicked on it and

I've been avoiding CNN religiously.

[Wellstone ruled]

13. Yup,have not watch CNN or Fake Noise for ten plus years.

NBC and ABC are really hard to take. MSNBC was okay until they fired Phil Donahue,after that,good bye to a loser.

4. grief, I hope not.

Hard to imagine. Afraid I would just not vote at all. Would feel totally hoodwinked if that happened.

6. NO THANK YOU!

I still wouldn't vote for her.

Not happening.

I highly doubt Bernie would stoop so low as to be her VP. He has principles.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

7. Sherrod Brown was brought on MSNBC under this premise recently.

Tactful as always, said he didn't think he'd been vetted and then mentioned progressive aspects of the Dem. Party. I can't see Bernie on this ticket, but you never know. Tim Kaine of Va. has been mentioned again also.

8. bad move for both parties.

Hillary would sideline him if chosen and he accepted. Hillary needs someone she can lean on and not be seen as a critic of her policies. She would be seen by her most vocal supporters as capitulating to the left.

Bernie will not be a person who will play second fiddle and relegated to cutting ribbons for new corporations and post offices.

9. Desperation?

Desperation time for Hillary. Just like when she was talking about Obama as VP in 2008. The fact that Hillary needed Obama or Sanders, but not the other way around, should speak volumes.

10. That is exactly the question S. D's. should be asking themselves when they make their decision

Who needs whom to win, and pick the one who doesn't need the other in order to win.

11. CNN = Clinton News Network. n/t

12. He would hate it!

[Nyan]

14. She won't pick Bernie as VP.

She is so beholden to moneyed interests she cannot possibly adopt Bernie's platform. It's simply not possible.

[LiberalArkie]

15. I think both of them would be thinking of the succession thing first. Neither are young. Although I

think Bernie is in better shape.

[LiberalElite]

16. I thought of the succession thing too but in a different way-

in case she gets indicted.

[LiberalArkie]

17. I don't think that even crosses the Clinton's minds. If I had their money and as soon as it was

possible and before I was handcuffed, I would be on a jet to another country. I ain't proud. They never think they will be caught.

[LiberalElite]

18. Oh, I'm sure it doesn't - but

from a Bernie perspective - he'd be in the right place at the right time.

[LiberalArkie]

19. Yep for sure

[NV Whino]

20. Pure bull pucky.

Hillary might think that would bring the party together, but Bernie would never be sidelined as window dressing.

[Dawgs]

22. LOL. As Long as she's at the top of the ticket she will lose.

Doesn't matter who she picks for the VP.

[jillan]

23. If she did ask him, I hope he says no.

That would be a marriage made in hell.

[nc4bo]

24. Eew gross. Eta..

Ain't nobody trying to buy the bullshit Clinton, Inc. is trying to sell.

[deepestblue]

25. Yes

That is exactly the question S. D's. should be asking themselves when they make their decision

If they don't they are WILLINGLY handing the keys of the WH over to Trump.

[ThePhilosopher04]

26. Hopefully he'll rule out her.

[ladjf]

27. What would make anyone think that Bernie would join Clinton?
