Would they be the dream Democratic ticket or is there zero chance of that happening?

Never happen, the two are to far apart on waaaay too many issues, Hillary is no where near as far left/Socialist as Bernie.

I guess the reason I asked was if Hillary could bring in the more moderate establishment voters and Bernie could bring in the more far left voters (who are very enthusiastic), maybe it would be a very formidable ticket whereas a Moderate/Moderate or a D.Socialist/D.Socialist might not capture as many voters, increasing the odds of beating the Republican Ticket.

They seem to be in general agreement on more issues than not. :shrug:

I doubt it, since most Hillary supporters would consider Bernie a liability since he is so far left and the Bernie supporters would consider Bernie as selling out if he joined with Hillary.

Would they really though? Would a Hillary supporter not vote or vote Republican because Bernie was on the ticket? would a Bernie supporter not vote or vote Republican because Hillary was on the ticket?

Actually I believe many Bernie voters would not vote. Think Rob Paul, many probably gave up on the election when he was out. That said it will be up to the States anyway, the only real say the voters have is in the primaries and for other positions up for election.
 
Should be a Bernie/Hillary ticket. If you're gonna lose anyway, might as well lose big.

If you combine all of the free stuff they've been promising we'd have to pillage and plunder the rest of the world in order to pay for it. I'd be a dream ticket for the military industrial complex, I guess, if you look at it that way.

I see the chance of it happening more and more likely. The Democratic Party as it stands now is deeply divided, and I think there are legitimate fears suggesting that many of Bernie's supporters might stay home this election. Enough supporters to give Republicans the edge.

If she doesn't pick Sanders, I could see her reaching out to Elizabeth Warren in order to coalesce the liberal wing of the Democratic Party.
 
This is the democrats election to lose, so why risk alienating independent voters with Bernie on the ticket

Because they'll risk alienating a large swath of the liberal base if they don't. I myself don't like Hillary and have been on the fence about voting for her but have decided I will because of the whole SCOTUS issue. Many other liberals might not come to my conclusion, especially millennials who feel like the Democratic Party disenfranchised Bernie Sanders (which they have under Debbie WS).
 
Vote Corrupt/Geezer for 2016!

Nah...not a very catchy campaign slogan.
 
Billary Clanders? Dear Lord this world is going to hell in a handbasket.
 
I doubt it will ever happen after the campaign Hillary has been running against Bernie, and in any case Bernie as Veep is not sufficient to induce me to vote for Hillary as President.

Indeed, a Sanders/Clinton ticket would force me to vote GOP as much as a Hillary ticket.
 
No, but Bernie and Elizabeth Warren would be an awesome combination.
 
There is no such thing as a dream ticket that has Hillary on it.

As a millennial rooting for Bernie, I would bet on millennial Sanders fans falling in line for Hillary--specially considering the new SCOTUS implications

If it ends up being Trump and Clinton, I'm voting for Gary Johnson, LP.

If it winds up being Trump and Clinton I feel there will be more name recognition Independents running than Gary Johnson. I think he's just out to drum up more Marijuana business for himself. Talk about a conflict of interest!

Where did you read he was in the marijuana business?

That makes sense. It's probably the best way to protect my gun rights in such an event, and that issue takes priority if Sanders doesn't win the nomination.
