Related: About this forumClinton should make Bernie Sanders her VP
It would be her best move. Bernie would handle Donald Trump like a pro. Plus for Bernie he could influence her administration toward his message and help keep Clinton focused on jobs, banking regulation, overturning of citizens united etc.

(643 posts)I'd be very disappointed in Sanders if he were to be willing to be vp, assuming he doesn't win the nomination. He's spent his campaign pointing out all of her bad decision, her right wing positions, and how she's sold out to corporate America. And I still wouldn't vote for her.

(14,255 posts)Hillary (and Bill) have their Third Way to-do list, their MIC to-do list, their TPP/TTIP to-do list, their enabling Wall street and weakening Social Security and fracking to-do lists.
Bernie would be relegated to some back office, going to dinners and funerals and would conveniently be out of Congress, where he could do some good.

(11,366 posts)Yelling at people isn't violence. It may not be the epitome of polite, but politics isn't polite.

(2,872 posts)Talk about the epitome of selling out-- no. God, no. It's already revolting enough to vote for someone who is going to send my brothers and sisters in arms to war again, but to stack the one candidate I believed in as a sellout? Hell the fuck no.

(31,170 posts)I think Pres Clinton should offer (and Sen Sanders should accept) a cabinet level post as ACA Czar. While we've been fiddling, Rome is burning. New challenges to ACA have arisen from the courts and the insurance companies. We need someone who is driven, feisty, unwielding, crusty and devoted to Universal Health Care. Ironically, Sanders can do more for health care as a cabinet level executive than he could ever thought of doing as Pres. Let him make our ACA more like Denmark's! Hill's attention will be diverted in a thousand different ways after inauguration; she needs a pit bull who can live, breath and concentrate on health care and health care only. What better way to preserve Obama's legacy, and get us to where we need to be with regard to Universal Health Care.
ps: We might even unite the party.

Neither is going to happen, so dream on.

(456 posts)She would have to take a back seat as the crowd roar and shout "Bernie" "Bernie" at every rally, but it gets her the presidency. Tough decision for someone looking to become the first female president.

timlot
(456 posts)As far as him being from a NE state. His message has resonated all over the country. He will help blunt some of the impact of Hillary losing white working class voters so bad.

(23,156 posts)being Clinton's VP, you don't understand much about him.
He would not be willing to go along with her terrible policies.
