You know who Bernie Sanders could use as VP-Joe Biden

[catnhatnh]

I think this might be doable-convince Joe that Hillary is both too centrist and carries too much baggage. Tell him that he can be the Savior of the Democratic party. That he and Bernie can together set the new democratic agenda. He has the experience and the "Amtrak Joe" and the kids background. He is both beloved and a sympathetic character.

Let's look at this scenario-Joe jumps to Bernie bringing his supporters. That get's Sanders/Biden over the 30% mark. Elizabeth Warren, smelling the blood of centrists in the water, immediately endorses the new ticket. Obama can no more disrespect his friend and Vice President withholds his endorsement but his wife openly endorses Biden and house and senate D's scent a new era coming and hop on the bandwagon.

The media smell something else-blood in the water and an easy narrative-Hillary fades again...

By October it's pretty much all over. The guy with the 40 year old, FDR style new plan and our beloved senior VP own the democratic party. The republicans say fuck it and let Jeb run. Most Americans live happily ever after.

1. I think O'Malley would be good...

but I don't believe he's running for VP....."But, damn...That would, along with "the people"..(to me) be One Hellava team!

5. Actually.....

....I think O'Malley would jump at the opportunity. More so than Biden who probably doesn't relish the thought of being VP for the rest of his life.

2. If you think you can convince Biden that Hillary is too centrist, then you don't know Joe.

I do think it would be a pretty good move on Sanders part. It would be a very shrewd political move on Sanders part. I would have a lot of respect for it.

"That he and Bernie can together set the new democratic agenda."

Pretty sure he is a part of and comfortable with the democratic agenda in place.
