bernie's been in politics for decades. don't think he'll learn any new tricks

he's also very liable to do strange things and whatnot and damage the campaign.

Sanders would be the perfect VP candidate. Liked by many, kind of overly idealistic, but can put some more pragmatic notches in his belt. 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.

I love Biden! Shut your trap hole

But yeah, he was very much overshadowed without doing much on his own--which is unfortunate.

I will stay that Biden is more personable that Bernie, but I don’t think Bernie would be a bad VP or make “the party look crazy”. The democrats have had some left leaning winners in the senate that even the Bern can’t hold a candle to.

Biden’s ability to say really dumb things has always been paired with earnest good intent that allowed people to explain it away.

Biden and Sanders are certainly very different; the point is that long-term political predictability and liability for wacky behavior are not, in and of themselves, liabilities relative to Sanders' viability as VP.

a VP needs charisma. Biden has that. Bernie not so much.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

We must be looking at different candidates because Charisma is all Bernie's got right now.

Delegates, no
Votes, no
Support, no

But charisma and che clone tshirts? Yes.

Poor Jim Webb would have had more success in the Republican primary, even with 17 people in it.

Another unjustified assessment. 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.

the impact on florida and jewish vote alone would disqualify him as vp.

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.

I'm glad Hamilton was spared and kept on currency. Tubman is a good choice as well.

Not bad at all.

3-6 months from now, if Hillary is in the general and losing ground daily to Trump, and Hillary supporters are wondering why, remember this. ^

Agreed. Weird to see so many people bent out of shape about it.

Hamilton is way cooler than Jackson, so yeah, definitely happy with the currency issue.

Someone just sent me a screen shot of their Facebook page and one of our old college buddies is complaining about “white genocide’ with the choice of Tubman. Sometimes they make hitting that unfriend button so easy.

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.
