2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumBernie Sanders was asked if he would consider being Vice-President-his answer “We’ll see”.
Hillary would never pick him as her VP choice. He said well see as if he would have some say so in the matter. I can guarantee you Sanders is not on Clintons VP short list.

(58,785 posts)Yes, Sanders might take it, although I see no reason to assume he would and I very highly doubt he thinks an offer would be made.
As for Democrats being "tired" of him, though, the only reason to consider him would be that many Democrats have been inspired by him and would like him as VP. That said, it seems pretty likely that Hillary is tired of his tricks. The notion of being stuck with him for 4 years is probably about as appealing as sticking a needle in her eye, or possibly less.
And of course, who thinks he could work amicably and effectively with her even if he would? Bernie will accomplish whatever he accomplishes, or not, on his own. That's his way.

(47,803 posts)including many who voted for Clinton but express a preference for a different candidate.
Many Democrats are either ambivalent and would be happy with either, or supported Clinton for "pragmatic" and/or gender reasons, but personally would prefer someone else were running -- and many prefer Sanders message and values and positions.

(44,131 posts)He's said several positive things about HRC and vice versa. That being said, demographics and age mean neither of them will end up as the VP IMHO

(3,739 posts)President or good VP. I was just expressing my opinion about what the Republicans would do during the campaign with all their opposition research. Not saying what the GOP does/would do is right, fair or ethical. Everyone just needs to face reality. Of course, the GOP will go after whomever is chosen as the VP candidate. But to say that the GOP wouldn't twist everything and anything about Bernie's life/record etc. is just not being realistic. They have shown that they play gutter politics and Trump has taken that to new levels of low. That said, if Hillary were to pick Bernie as her VP, I would support that choice. If she picked Elizabeth Warren or Sherrod Brown I would support that too. Whomever would give the Dems the best chance to WIN in November against that lunatic Trump! Thank you for commenting in a respectful way to my post. It gives me hope that we Dems can unite so we can be victorious!

(34,825 posts)just out of the kindness of her heart. NEWS FLASH: If that damaging info was out there like Hillary Supporter has laid claim for a year now, Hillary would've used it.
skylucy
(3,739 posts)more votes than Bernie. She has won the Democratic Primary and Bernie has lost it. And I guess you think that Trump is would continue his little "love fest" if Bernie were the nominee? And of course, the GOP political machine would just blow kisses and continue to hammer on Hillary if Bernie were the actual Dem. nominee?
frylock
(34,825 posts)So does Hillary's oppo research team suck so badly that they couldn't dig something up to sink Bernie, or....?

(31,170 posts)While they may have many of the same goals, he is not a leader, and I think she will have a VP who will take point in a key area. Bernie doesn't seem to have the skillset needed.

(2,405 posts)As far as the FBI nonsense it does not have to away--because it will not change the outcome. More voters chose her. Would you agree to that?

(22,336 posts)But Bernie and Hillary are not as far apart as people at DU paint them. Bernie is more progressive to be sure, but he isn't so far left of Hillary that he hates her and would never want to have anything to do with her administration. That's a DU delusion.
