Bernie Sanders on possibility of unity ticket with Biden: 'You mean two old white guys on the ticket?'

Sen. Bernie Sanders dismissed the possibility that he and fellow 2020 Democrat Joe Biden could team up for a unity ticket to take on President Trump.

“Is it 100% impossible to imagine a unity ticket, despite your differences,” MSNBC host Rachel Maddow asked Sanders on Wednesday.

“You mean two old white guys on the ticket?” Sanders said. “Probably not. I think the American people don’t want — one old white guy is probably one too many for some.”

A slew of Democratic presidential candidates have dropped out of the race in the last week, leaving Biden and Sanders as the only two viable candidates for the nomination. After losing ten Super Tuesday states to Biden, socialist Sanders criticized his more moderate rival for being ”heavily supported by the corporate establishment."

"What this campaign, I think, is increasingly about is, which side are you on?" Sanders said. "Does anyone seriously believe that a president backed by the corporate world is going to bring about the changes in this country that working families and the middle class and lower-income people desperately need?"

Sometimes, just for a second, i think he is running for the most capitalistic of reasons.

To get paid off HUGE to get his people in line on election day.

Maybe even get paid HUGH and SERIES

Nothing like watching two old dogs circling each other, sniffing butts and jockeying for the best place on the porch. 😆

Quid Pro Quo Joe is going to be the candidate. Sanders is dead after FLA next week. He going to be destroyed in FL for his idiotic Castro comments. After that loss, the Democrat Party masters, and their stooges in Fake News” are going to beat the “Biden is inevitable Sanders needs to get out so we can beat Trump” noise is going to be unstoppable.

As Mark Steyn said “Sanders is a Ben and Jerry revolutionary. He lacks the killer instinct to make a fight of this”.

Well, you could prop each other up next to the jukebox and maybe get away with it for awhile.

I doubt it. From now on, all debate provisions, from venues, rules, moderators, audience member selection, subject matter, and method of moderating will be processed with one, and only one goal in mind: To make Joe Biden more “presidential” than Bernie Sanders. It’s real easy to envision: Just think of Bernie in a MAGA hat.

And Obama was a lazy dope-smoking narcissist. The country dodged two bullets here. If they ever come up with someone who's focused and driven we're SCROOOOOOOOOD.

Biden is declared incompetent, Sanders as VP becomes President and has a heart attack. Pelosi, still speaker, becomes Pres

I an see your point but he has worked too hard for some ulterior accomplishment.

Bernie is the only Democrat candidate with to the bone conviction. His whole life is dedicated to transforming America to a socialist nation. Losing may in fact take away his vigor and his life. His being is gone.

What should be concerning to those who think they are pulling strings is strings that become unattached. They pull Bernie strings and all they get is nothing. The attachment is broken

No Bernie? why give a damn

Democrats are so race and sex obsessed, it trumps anything.

A white guy could cure cancer and they’d run stories about black people out of work because they operated a morgue.
