For sure the party leaders do not want Bernie. His continuing to fight until the end will, hopefully, lead to his supporters staying home in November. That will be good for Republicans down ballot.
Meanwhile people are speculating about a running mate for Biden assuming he gets the nomination. HotAir lists “Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Amy Klobuchar”. Newsweak says Nevada Senator Catherine Cortez Masto among others.
The likes of Warren? A shrill harridan who bombed in the primaries, finishing third in her home state? Even Democrats couldn’t stomach her. If Biden somehow wins and then either dies or has to step down... (”I’m an old guy,” he admitted during the Iowa caucuses, and a veep needs to be ready on Day 1 in that eventuality...)
Also yeah Warren would ensure he gets that crucial swing state of Massachusetts... (/sarcasm...)
