A new Rasmussen poll has determined that at least 36 percent of likely democratic voters want Bernie Sanders as Hillary Clinton’s Vice Presidential pick.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that from a list of five potential vice presidential picks, 36% of Likely Democratic Voters think Sanders should be Clinton’s running mate. Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren comes in a distant second with 19%, while 10% prefer Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro.
Elizabeth Warren has all but ruled out a 2016 run, and Julian Castro claimed a few days ago that he would not consider a VP spot. This leads many to conclude that a Clinton-Sanders ticket would be unstoppable in the general election against Donald Trump the presumptive GOP nominee.
Things are heating up for the general race, and while Sanders supporters at present would not be likely to accept Sanders as a VP pick, they might consider it when Hillary Clinton wraps up the nomination process and starts looking for someone who could energize the base as Sanders has done. Bernie supporters may in fact end up supporting such a pick if Hillary Clinton were to allow Sanders to make policy or serve as an ambassador of change in the democratic party. Petitions have already started circulating for Sanders for VP.
So far however Bernie has not given up his push for the President of the United States. But as time moves forward that decision to think it over might just be upon him sooner rather than later.

I think Hillary would pick John Kasich before she would take Bernie as VP.
That’s what people said about Obama picking Hillary to be SOS. It’s called unity.
She should stop pretending to be progressive and just name Jeb!
It would help seal the deal with the Bush donors money.
Not happening.
Although it is common protocol or courtesy not to answer this question before a convention, Sanders has too much integrity to play this role.
Besides that, while it has escaped the notice of the lame stream media, Sanders is playing the long game. . .looking to influence politics well past November. He has described the plan in every stump speech, but what passes for journalism in this century is already assigned a” Clinton Winning” narrative and so has no clue about the big picture, even when it is described literally in every Sanders address.
I guess the revolution really won’t be televised.
