Hillary Clinton advisers and confidantes have begun pushing hard for vice presidential candidates, but one name is conspicuously absent from the purported shirt list: Senator Bernie Sanders. At one of two MSNBC town hall events Monday night, All In host Chris Hayes asked Sanders if he would consider ticketing up with Hillary when the nomination fight is over, and although Bernie promised a predictable non-answer, he delivered a response that was engorged with possibility:
---
HAYES: This has obviously been a contentious fight, on the Democratic side, although not, I think, the most contentious. There have been — I went down in the archives to look at 2008, it got pretty ugly —
SANDERS: Yeah it did.
HAYES: — and you know 1980 on the Republican side got pretty ugly and Kennedy and Carter — there’s a long list. One of the things that happens, sometimes in those contested intramural disputes is someone had the other person serve on their ticket or in their administration. Would you consider that in this case, either having Hillary Clinton on your ticket or being on hers?
SANDERS: Well let me just answer that question in exactly the way you knew I would answer it. And that is to say right now we are running as hard as we can to win this thing, and at the end of the process we’ll take a look at what’s going on, but right now my job is to get as many delegates as possible and try to win the nomination for President. But you knew that that would be my answer.
Bernie Sanders Open to Hillary Clinton ‘Dream Ticket’
.. against Trump .. and who? :0)
