Joe Biden

I think it could work. Biden has a lot of good ideas on foreign policy, and Sanders is kind of weak in that area.
Biden was the first, and maybe only, DC politician to propose in 2006 that Iraq should be divided up into three states: Kurdish, Shia, and Sunni. Now it looks like he was right. I see that Biden has praised Sanders on his boldness. Biden has name recognition and if Sanders and Biden hooked up now it could swing them enough superdelegates to get the nomination.

Plus, age is an issue. Whoever is the nominee should select someone under age 60.

These delusions serve no purpose. And yes, Hillary Clinton is very likely to get the Dem nomination for 2016. That is no delusion. I am a fervent Bernie supporter, but hell if I won't support her in the GE. The alternative is so absolutely too horrible to consider.
Sometimes the lesser of evils is a no brainer. Especially when the more evil is so fucking more evil.
