She also declined to answer if Sanders was in consideration for the No. 2 slot.

Not happening.
I highly doubt Bernie would stoop so low as to be her VP. He has principles.
PEACE

(41,199 posts)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.

(9,359 posts)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.

(98 posts)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.

(15,735 posts)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.
