A Hillary and Bernie Run? Sanders as VP

From Salon, not exactly a conservative site, eh-hmm.

Hillary must pick Bernie for VP: She may even need him more than he needs her

Yes, it's time for Democrats to unite, but also for Hillary to recognize she needs help with the progressive base

There are two ways to look at this. The first is that it’s not much of a stretch for a Sanders supporter to cast a vote for Donald Trump. Earlier in this campaign, political reporters kept running into uncommitted voters trying to decide between the two. Trump is not really a conservative—in some ways, he’s not even a Republican. He shares an iconoclastic streak with Sanders, who until last year didn’t refer to himself as a Democrat at all. Both men are running, really, as populists, and both have settled on the same storyline about Clinton, which is summed up in Trump’s nickname for her: “Corrupt Hillary.”

...they complement each other. Sanders has the feisty populist vision and aura of incorruptibility that Clinton so sorely lacks, while Clinton has the experience and gimlet-eyed policy chops that have eluded Sanders in his many years of howling in the political wilderness. Together, with Clinton suiting up to take that 3 a.m. phone call in the Oval Office while Sanders roams the country rallying the troops and shaming the Republicans, they could make a pretty good team.
