Bernie Sanders Hints Elizabeth Warren as Vice President

[UglyGreed]

Recently on the Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore, Bernie Sanders was interviewed by Wilmore, alongside Grace Parra and Jordan Carlos.

The interview was great, however, the discussion got really interesting at 5:09 in the interview, when the subject of his potential Vice Presidential running mate came up...

1. In other news, the sky is blue.

2. That would be awesome.

I wonder if she would accept?

[UglyGreed]

4. One could only hope

she would

[Stellar]

3. I just don't see Senator Warren as second banana to anybody. nt

5. No he didn't

"So, she uh, she and I will work together""

It couldn't mean work with her in the Senate, could it?

...but keep dreaming.

6. Interesting...

It can mean many things as the statement isn't definitive and is open for interpretation.

Keep the dream alive.....

7. Wall Street types

would truly be shakin' in their shoes if this comes to be

8. It would be assassin protection for Bernie to have Warren in the veep spot.

If the would-be assassin were doing Wall Street's bidding.

11. Conspiracy theories belong in CREATIVE SPECULATION...

12. Settle down, tiger.

I clearly said, if the would be assassin were doing Wall Street's bidding.

9. It could, but the context was that he was asked about her as a running mate.

[brooklynite]

14. ...and like any good politician he deflected the question.

[morningfog]

15. You say deflect, the OP said hint. To-MAY-to To-MA-to.

It would be a helluva ticket to make Wall Street shit themselves. That alone is worth repeating and reposting the idea.

16. IOW Sanders "hinted" at a major decision about his campaign on a nightime comedy show...

...makes perfect sense.

10. I don't understand the push for Warren as VP

As VP she would have less ability to make effective changes than as a senator.

[winter is coming]

13. I didn't think that was a VP hint. At most, it was a hint that he'd get an endorsement from

her before the nomination.

[Matariki]

17. I think Warren would do more for a Sander's Presidency as a Senator

He'll need as many progressive votes in Congress as possible.
