Sanders/Biden ticket

I think it could work. Biden has a lot of good ideas on foreign policy, and Sanders is kind of weak in that area.
Biden was the first, and maybe only, DC politician to propose in 2006 that Iraq should be divided up into three states: Kurdish, Shia, and Sunni. Now it looks like he was right. I see that Biden has praised Sanders on his boldness. Biden has name recognition and if Sanders and Biden hooked up now it could swing them enough superdelegates to get the nomination.

11. Oh, I know that. I think the only area he is weak is trusting people too much that he should

as VP?

Plus, age is an issue. Whoever is the nominee should select someone under age 60.

You can still argue that the system is broken. The ideas are not in conflict.

8. But Hillary was called bad for doing exactly that. Only difference is she did it when it counted.

Once again, this is BS hair on fire shenanigans because he didn't get the job done when the job needed to get done.

5. Biden thinks he would be the best President.

He doesn't strike me as a man who would be open to another four or more years as VP having decided not to run for the top spot.

6. I love Joe, and Bernie, but two old guys won't work.

And no! I would not support Elizabeth Warren for VEEP either. We desperately need her in the US Senate, which she also sees as her heritage. Thankfully!

These delusions serve no purpose. And yes, Hillary Clinton is very likely to get the Dem nomination for 2016. That is no delusion. I am a fervent Bernie supporter, but hell if I won't support her in the GE. The alternative is so absolutely too horrible to consider.

Sometimes the lesser of evils is a no brainer. Especially when the more evil is so fucking more evil.
