Given that her campaign has been overwhelmingly rejected by voters, and now persists solely as a rump intermediary channel for dark money to dampen Sanders' momentum (as Warren's own campaign manager has more or less made explicit), the odds of Sanders choosing her as VP are about as likely as the cartoon mouse betting on a joint ticket with the cat. There was a time when the Sanders team had far higher hopes for her than just VP, but she has long since made her decision, poorly as usual. Nobody desperately needs Warren for anything, other than trying to stop Sanders.

In any case, she would be a serious electoral liability on the national stage, who would at once delegitimise Sanders in the eyes of his millions of more-informed supporters, depressing turnout in November and beyond, while also alienating the red and swing voters whom Sanders wants to win back by reinforcing the well-earned perception that the Democratic Party represeents rich, scolding hypocrites. She would be annihilated in any confrontation against Trump. Warren as Sanders' VP is even less likely than him choosing Gabbard, which... Lol.

My guess for a Sanders VP would be Tammy Baldwin, who checks many of the same boxes Warren does, but who represents a much more important constituency and who has not (yet) shown herself so politically toxic and inept.

she's a dork, but she knows policy, is very smart and can make the numbers work being a bad campaigner doesn't make you a bad politician. Bernie works hard and is a better salesman but has been vague about how he's going to implement a policy. It would make sense.

Anyway, its all Biden unless Bernie wins pretty big in Cali. The only competnence that the DNC has ever shown is a consistent ability to kneecap its more liberal base.
 
looking great for biden he may even win maine… which he was suppose to have no shot at.. think I gonna be sick meh terrible night as a sanders fan so far.

There isn’t going to be any significant change in either direction until one party manages to get ahold of all three levers in Washington. Otherwise is just going to be continued obstructionism from both sides. Even if he were to win, Bernie would face the roadblock of a Republican Senate that refused to conduct a real trial of a criminal president or even hold hearings on Obama’s nominee for the Supreme Court because it was almost an election year. So it’s not like any of his policies have a chance of ever coming to fruition.

not really, as I said before there are plenty of laws already on the books especially w/ business regluation that could go a long way to helping the lower and middle classes. they just aren't enforced (unless Obama slapping a 1 MILLION DOLLAR fine on your elventy trillion dollar corporation is what you consider regulation). presidency has more power than anytime in my lifetime, you can accomplish a lot.
