She wants a position in bernie’s administration.

Just a wild (probably wrong) prediction, but if she has the delegates to put Bernie over the top (with a little room to spare for defectors), she will be his VP running mate.

When candidates drop out, the handling of delegates is not specifically guided. The rule only says that "Delegates elected to the national convention pledged to a presidential candidate shall in all good conscience reflect the sentiments of those who elected them". If Warren has enough delegates to get Bernie to 1991, and she is his VP, then she will ask that her delegates cast their vote for her and Bernie. They are not "bound", but most will probably comply. She probably needs about 400 delegates to make her a lock, and that's not going to be easy for her.

The problem is that while she might be able to get him the party nomination, she is unlikely to help him win a single state.

Wow. I didn’t know any of that. Thanks

Who CAN he put as VP that would bring a state he’s not getting already?

Not many socialist swing states...which ones might a VP help him get? or keep?

I think it’s a rule If it’s a White Guy nominee then VP must be woman of Color, not fake injun, it would also be a plus if that woman of Color was from the alphabet grouping.
