What would you like to see in a deal between Secretary Clinton and Senator Sanders? [View all]

It's possible the two candidates won't make any deals at all. However, If there is a deal to be had, what would you like to see from Secretary Clinton and Senator Sanders?

For me, I would like Senator Sanders to hand over his email and contributors list. Getting an influx of volunteers and money would be a huge boon to Hillary Clinton. Of course, I would love to see Bernie Sanders hitting the campaign trail, too.

I imagine that Bernie would ask for a prime speaking slot at the convention and maybe some input into Hillary's cabinet positions like Secretary of Labor.

I got the inspiration to make this post from a similar thread in the Bernie group. Not all of us can post there, so I thought I would ask it here.
