So with Bernie just blowing everything up and taking this massive lead. Who do you think he will pick for his VP nominee? I mean this is unbelievable a socialist is killing it. I wonder who his pick will be and then, watching them to start trying to take this nomination from him. How in the hell are they going to pull off taking it from him.

This will be epic to watch the next 8 months

Until the Dem party figures out a way to screw him again. Or they just throw him to the wolves as a sacrifice, because no Dem candidate is capable of defeating Trump. Especially not an avowed communist.

Back on topic though - no idea who he'd pick. He's seemed to have burned a few bridges recently.

I would say he would run with a moderate, but I can't for the life of me think of one.

Stacy Abrams as of now.

I can’t think of many other people who would run as his running mate to begin with, let alone would shore him up in some areas where he is lacking.


I think everyone sees this as a disaster in the making so no one wants to get splashed with failure when it happens.

Right so you think they just going to give up on the election? That’s essentially what throwing him to the wolves will do!!! Point, game, set, match, election

There's only one person that I can think of that is the perfect match.

AOC doesn't meet the age requirement of being POTUS, so she cannot be the VP choice.

Good meme, nonetheless.

He has few choices. He would almost have to pick a like minded person which would make the dem ticket even worse. Anyone not a democratic socialist would be committing political suicide to join the ticket.

A minority no doubt. Most likely a woman and if not maybe a homosexual.

My question is will all dems support him if he is allowed to win the nomination?

They are probably looking to save the House and some Senate races rather than propping up Bernie.

At some point, you are throwing good money after bad.

People thought this about Pelosi and impeachment. That she knew it would blow up in their faces and would be a way to slap down the more radical elements in her party. Didn't quite work out for her and AOC and the jihad squad continue to rule the roost.

I just don't think there are enough actual moderate Dems left.

If he's going to pick Stacy Abrams, he should do so sooner rather than later. A black woman on his ticket might give the DNC some pause in their efforts to exclude him.

Laws have never stopped these fools before. They are "racist" in nature.

Your scenario precludes that Bernie would be able to win the nomination. This will not be allowed to happen, per the DNC establishment power brokers.

In the end, Bernie will BOHICA, another time, and enjoy his Stockholm Syndrome from the comfort of a fifth lake house.

I heard that he is going for a Malibu Beach House courtesy of Bloomberg this time.

A lot of the lefty looms on Twitter are looking for assurances that it won’t be Tulsi, who after all endorsed Bernie in 2016.
