The VP has basically no power.
So no.
Sanders' top aide must be smoking something too:Have you been smoking some of what the GOP is handing out? There is no way Sanders would be Hillary's vp.
Already, however, cracks are beginning to show. One of Sanders's top aides on Monday floated the idea of a Clinton-Sanders ticket -- with Sanders as the vice presidential half.
“Maybe they’re going to put him on the ticket then,” Sanders adviser Tad Devine told Politico's Glenn Thrush.
http://www.politico.com/story/2016/03/tad-devine-inside-bernie-sanders-campaign-220357“Maybe they’re going to put him on the ticket then,” Devine tells me during a wide-ranging 45-minute interview for POLITICO’s “Off Message” podcast. He isn’t joking, as far as I can tell.
This was a few hours before Devine headed off to Michigan to help his boss prepare for the debate — and he expressed hope that his untamable candidate would keep whacking her on all those paid Goldman Sachs speeches (Bernie obliged). But the veep idea clearly tickled the 60-year-old D.C.-based consultant, a former strategist to the Carter, Mondale, Gore and Kerry campaigns whom Sanders views as his bridge to a party establishment he detests (in a genial, nothing-personal way).
“I’m sure, of course, anyone would,” Devine says when I ask if he could see a scenario where Sanders would actually say yes. They haven’t talked about the possibility, Devine adds, and he says Sanders would never, ever consider it “unless you know, it was done in the right and proper way.” That’s a far cry from last year, when Sanders and Co. rebuffed the second-banana suggestion by countering with an offer to give Clinton the vice presidential slot on his ticket.
I know some of you Dems are taking hardline stances against Hillary. For those who voting for Sanders over Hillary, if Sanders becomes her VP are you changing your stance on her? Curious.
But the Sanders camp is hoping he's put on the ticket. Strange isn't it? For an allegedly "non-establishment" candidate?That will never happen. Hillary is going to chose from the pool of Establishment VP options.

Frank Underwood would disagree.The VP has basically no power.
So no.
Frank Underwood would disagree.
A hillary/sanders ticket would be good, a hillary/warren ticket would be yuuuge!
That won't happen. There's a reason Warren is the only Democratic woman in the senate who has not endorsed Hillary. Despite rumors of being pressured to do so.
Her joining a Bernie ticket seems more likely.

She hasn't endorsed bernie either I'm sure she'll endorse whoever wins the nomination.
Frank Underwood would disagree.
Would much rather have Warren for pres than Hillary.
This. but we have to wait for that.
Sanders/Warren would be good.
And Clinton/Sanders might be ok from a perspective of placating bernie supporters and having them vote for her.
but
I think it would be very unlikely that she would pick him and more unlikely that he would accept.
A 2 women ticket would crash them and a bunch of guys would vote for Trump. So Clinton/Warren is not happening.
Im not really sure who she would pick.
Possibly
Wesley Clark
Sherrod Brown
Tim Kaine
Cory Booker?
not really sure but it will be important.
