Bernie Sanders Doesn't Say No to Hypothetical Clinton VP Slot
NBC News' Meet The Press ^ | May 29, 2016 | Sally Bronston

Would Bernie Sanders agree to be Hillary Clinton's running mate? He didn't rule it out when asked about it on NBC's "Meet the Press." Sanders told Chuck Todd he's focused on the California primary, but stopped short of refusing the offer should Clinton ask.

"Here we are in California, I'm knocking my brains out to win the Democratic nomination," Sanders said. "What happens afterwards, we will see. But right now, my focus is on winning the nomination."

The Vermont Senator called the California primary "the big enchilada." While Sanders admitted winning more pledged delegates than Secretary Clinton is an "uphill fight," California remains an important piece of that puzzle....

Trump needs to tell voters to take a look at the collapse of socialism in Venezuela!! I certainly thought this ridiculous “Feel the Bern” craze would have faded by now!!!
Venezuelans are paying exorbitant prices for food if they can find any. Government offices and services are closed!! And there is utter chaos in the street with riots and crime as people grow desperate for basic needs.
This is what Bernie wants to inflict on the United States!!
It’s way past time to educate the masses to all the dire consequences of socialism that Sanders is trying to force upon us!!!

What if Hillary picks Bernie for the VP slot and then gets indicted after the convention?

Would from that moment be known as the biggest ass kissing sell-out of all time. That’s why I expect him to do it.

If you do this Bernie, have a taster always around and a guard over while you sleep...

The Butcher of Benghazi will kill you for sure...

If he's the VP that shoots down the “disgruntled supporters” scenario.

Excellent question.

Remember in 1972, after VP candidate Eagleton withdrew from the Democrat ticket, Sargent Shriver was chosed as McGovern’s running mate. This was after the convention.

If I recall correctly, the Democratic National Committee replaced Eagleton with Shriver. It was not the entire convention, just a small group of insiders who put Shriver on the ticket. I assume something similar would happen, if Hillary had to be replaced on the ticket after the convention.

I doubt it, she sees it as a lesser of 2 evils thing. She wants the Bern-out voters in November and its an insurance policy to keep her from being indicted...

The only thing Bernie has going for him is that he is not Hillary.

If he joins her, he is toast!

Even if Bernie were to win CA, he still can’t win the nomination.

Why didn’t they ask about a sanders/clitoon ticket?
