On Wednesday night, 2020 presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) expressed support for progressive rival Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and hinted at considering her for a post in his administration were he to win the race.

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow held an interview with Sanders, during which she brought up the Washington Post’s report on the contacts between his surrogates and that of Warren’s after the Massachusetts senator suffered a devastating Super Tuesday.

Sanders confirmed that he had spoken to Warren and had a “very cordial discussion” with her earlier on Wednesday, but declined to provide details.

“It was a private conversation,” he said. “But I think Senator Warren has worked really hard over the last year.”

1. no!!

we need her in the senate! she'll be *awesome* there if we can get a majority!

[Me.]

2. Bargaining...

How pure is that?

5. Ask Biden about his deals with Klobuchar and mayor Pete

Of course you always have to be negative with Bernie.

[Me.]

8. What Nonsense

News reports have said that he has hinted at offering a deal to her. As for me 'always' being negative about him, who are you to judge?

As for Biden, Klobuchar has said ourtight that it wasn't a quid pro quo.

9. I'm sure. Lol

[Me.]

14. Good...Glad You Recognize The RidiculousNess Of Your Comment

And point you to post #10.

[LanternWaste]

10. Yup... holding Sanders to his own standard is very, very negative.

I can see why you guys scream "Bernie's being oppressed!!!" all the time... as we often quote his own words as well.

12. At least Bernie can tell the difference between his wife and sister

3. How about offering Warren the VP spot?

[Happy Hoosier]

11. Not sure she would take it.

She was pretty angry that Bernie called her a liar.

[at140]

15. aah, politics makes strange bedfellows

do you recall Bush-41 calling Reagan Voodoo economist and other epithets?
do you recall JFK disliked LBJ quite a bit, but picked him on ticket for help in election.

[Happy Hoosier]

16. Yeah, I wouldn't rule it out, but...

I'm just not sure she'd give up her power in the Senate to carry Bernie's water. Likewise, I'm not sure she'd accept the Veep form Biden.

[radical noodle]

4. Oh wait...

Wasn't it Bernie supporters who claimed it was unpure to offer people jobs for support because they wanted to believe that was the only reason Pete & Amy would endorse Biden?

But now it's okay. Alrighty then.

6. Too little too late

he called her a liar on national television and he tacitly endorsed the behavior of his supporters toward her by never saying a word about until yesterday.

7. Isn't he generous.

13. Nobody will hitch their wagon to a loser, she knows whats coming
