Yeah I'd love having them on the same ticket.  Though having Elizabeth Warren as VP would be even cooler I think.

The Sanders/Warren '16 ticket. The political wet dream of college students everywhere.

Elizabeth Warren had no interest in running for POTUS; I doubt she'd want to throw in as VP. She has a solid thing going where she is.

Amusingly, Sanders and Clinton could pull it off.
That'd require one to win the Republican primary, at least for my proposed scenario. I'm suggesting a general election where the choice isn't "Which ticket wins?" so much as "What order are the names in on the winning ticket?"

Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

The current phase of the election is to determine who will win the party nomination.

Should say-- Clinton win-- There is nothing that I am aware of that would prevent her from choosing bernie as her running mate in the presidential election. (Doing so would be very strategic-- it would make people like me who consider her an unpalatable bit of rancid tuna to consider voting for her, especially in light of what the competition is....) It would be a major boon to the democratic party if she did.

Likewise with Bernie.  I doubt Mainiac would be very pleased with a Sanders victory. (admittedly, this seems more and more unlikely each day.)-- However, if Sanders chose Clinton as his VP, that might change.

That's true, it's just not the hypothetical I had in mind. I just worded it too vaguely.

I'm not sure if Sanders win is actually seeming more and more unlikely every day.

At least since the Michigan upset (coming from 20 points behind to win), and now he's suddenly jumped ahead of Clinton in the early polling for Illinois (where he was 32 points down, but now leads). Add to that Clinton's AIDs gaffe, and things are really looking up for Bernie, where it looked completely hopeless 1 week ago.

Sanders may be an old geezer, but he isnt a walking coronary like Cheney. It would take more than an airhorn I would wager.

On and off for pages and pages, people haven't been trying very hard with the whole guidelines thing, on a variety of topics.  I've sent some warnings, though probably not as many as needed.  Redouble your efforts!

NEVER! Cry havoc and unleash the flames of postwars (or something like that...)

I think it'll be hard to stay frosty in the summer once the reconstructed Bernie Bros become Hillary's paramilitaries (Hill's Angels?) and are fighting running Street battles with Trump's Redcaps.

Oh my droogies, it'll be a lovely bit of the old ultraviolence, with the shoom and the tolchoking millicents...

Ohio is getting really close. Donald seems to have Florida in the bag, but ohio could be really interesting.
