The absolute key is to keep Sanders off her ticket. This is bound to piss his campaign off to a point that he may tell her to go to hell. He can easily launch a write in campaign that will eat her lunch. Taking him as running mate is the only chance she has. She is dropping like a rock.
There seems to be a growing fear of a hillary/Sanders ticket. I don’t know. I mean the whole appeal of Sanders is that he is not hillary. The perception is, at least Sanders is honest. A moron, certainly, but honest. Teaming up with hillary would not deliver Sanders’ voters, it would turn them off. He would lose his mojo. Big time. I mean if you had an modicum of self-respect, would YOU team up with hillary?
