Clinton-Sanders: Maybe That’s the Ticket
It could keep the party together, at least for this year, and deny an opportunity to Trump.

Peggy Noonan, one of the first neo-cons to turn on Sarah Palin, is forecasting that Hillary should pick Bernie for her Veep.
Right. So Hillary dies of her hematoma, and now we have Bernie for President of the United States.
Who would Bernie have in his Geezercratic cabinet?
We could naturalize Fidel Castro, to become Bernie's Vice-President.
Havana could become our new national capital; the Cuban flag would have to be altered a bit to show the US as a minor province.
Henry Kissinger would be the Secretary of State. (Hillary would have liked that.)
George Soros' head could be brought out of cryogenic storage, to be Secretary of Treasury.
I'd find it personally amusing to see Barnie Frank as Secretary of Defense. He could declare WW5 on all heterosexualist African countries.

it would be seen as the biggest sellout of all time. Bernie is anti Wall Street and would be joining the most corrupt pro-wall street corruption artist of all time.
Bernie voters are pretty stupid though
If Hillary wants to unite the Democrats, that might be just the ticket. Its about the dumbest ticket in history, but who said Democrats are smart?
crazy Bernie would have zero say I a Clinton administration and he probably knows it..but he seems to love the crowds and may do it
I think this is what Trump is waiting for - if Hillary picks Sanders to try to unify the dems, Trump will pick someone that will be a counter to him.
I think Hillary will offer Sanders VP - it’s just getting to divisive.
Bernie supporters will abandon him if he sells out to Hillary. He probably knows that.
Bernie supporters are violent people.
I think they’d Ferguson for a couple days before thinking about abandoning him.
A large number of Bernie voters will stay home or jump on the Trump train. Hillary is a pox!
She has been cruising on her stint as a Reagan Speech writer for over 30 years ,yet according to the old hands, she was a somewhat of a joke. I think Reagan kept her on as she was the young Ingenue and could write at least one good line he could use.
She, along with all the other insular bubble people in D.C. and New York, have no clue yet what is going on out in Fly over country and other places, the real anger that so many feel for the so called “Elites”, like Noonan.
She wants to think it is a aberration and will go away and then it will be business as usual and the Elites can once again go about screwing America and the Neocons can wage endless war.
Don't forget this woman gushed openly about Obama and voted for him in 2008, not sure about 2012. She is a Mendacious Hypocrite for whom I have absolutely no use ever again!!!!!!!!!!!!
No way she’ll have a guy with his own power base on the ticket. All his supporters will say the ticket should be reversed. Conventional wisdom is that she will nominate an Hispanic beta male and since her wisdom is entirely conventional that’s what she’ll do.
Bernie would lose all his street “cred” if he sold out for the VP slot. Won’t happen. Hillary goes down in flames to Trump and Bernie becomes a larger than life hero to the schizo left.
Clinton-Sanders...
Fearless prediction: one of them will be dead before Philadelphia; would not venture to guess which one. If it is Hillary, Biden becomes the nominee. If it is Bernie, Hillary becomes the nominee. Whichever one it is, it will be presented to the country as a death by natural causes, which has about an even chance of being the truth.
Another typical Peggy “Lament”. “Can’t we all just get along?”. She fears change, she fears Trump, and wants it all to just go away. She’s the Rip Van Winkle of the pundits.
Just heard Sen. Susan Collins on a New England talk radio station.
She said no way Hillary picks Sanders as VP...”there’s too much bad blood.”
Collins thinks former VA Governor and Senator Tim Kaine will be Hillary’s choice. Collins mentioned that Kaine is fluent in Spanish.
Very much so. At minimum his followers would demand at the convention the adoption of numerous radical goals as part of the Democratic Party platform. If Bernie doesn't push for their adoption he could leave his followers outside looking in like hanging chads in the wind. His legacy would be destroyed as a socialist/progressive.
Of course one could see the Dems adopting them but p%$$ing on them later just to get the old guy on side.
What?!?!
16 posts and no:
“Weekend at Bernie’s” posts?!?!?!
It would lock Hillary into a far left agenda, which would destroy her in the General election.
