Come reelection he will have more experience in all the things his detractors dislike, and with Hilary with him he will gain stronger allies for both the superdelegate support as well as the south support. If he was really in it to change politics and become the future president of the United States--he would be perfect. But you know his age? I'm already surprised that it it never an issue, but as someone whos plans would probably require more like 20 years to be realized he would certainly need the full 8 years to at least get some stuff done. But I wouldn't bet that he has still the same drive and power in his 8th year. Looking at Obama, who had quite some ambitious program, but far less so than Bernie and requiring way less and how he seems very burned out after those 8 years and having only achieved a tiny bit of his goals... How would a Sanders fair? But now talking about him candidating at any further election... Whoa... stop please. | ||

Sanders as a VP would have the big advantage of encouraging Sanders voters who're not usual democrats voters to vote for Clinton instead of not voting. | ||

berniebros can get lost. sandernistas are mostly either captured or in deep blue states. there is not much to gain here. the young white vote can go educate themselves instead of expecting pandering. | ||

Weird to see so many people bent out of shape about it. The choices are good, it's just funny that the whole "put a woman on currency" got kicked to backside because of a Broadway play. | ||
