      Yup... Now we'll NEVER truly know if Bernie Sanders would have been able to defeat Trump.

      (He probably wouldn't have, but now people have to listen to whining of Bernie Bros and Sanders Sisters for all eternity)

        Only on the fourth ring of Hell. I hear Satan got it moved from the ninth because it was cruel and unusual punishment for him to have to listen to it.

          Biden's still got a chance to win if he makes Sanders his VP.

          Unfortunately I doubt his team will be wise enough to do that. It'll be another Hillary/non-entity(Kaine) losing ticket probably.

            What we CAN know is that a Sanders presidency would almost certainly result in free rein for every activist in the country looking to rename post offices.

            Biden's got a better chance if he doesn't. Sanders isn't popular with people who vote.

            I'm personally looking over the landscape for someone he can pick to form a bipartisan ticket.

              Statler/Waldorf 2020? I know the 2020 Election has been doomed from the start, but if you want to go that route, might as well hand The Oompa-Loompa the election on a silver platter and give him some banana cream pies to throw in their face.

                Even if Sanders would normally give him a boost (which I doubt), it certainly wouldn't now and would go in the opposite direction. Biden previously promised that he would pick a woman to be his vice presidential candidate. There would be considerable blowback if he were to pick Sanders.

                Unfortunately I doubt his team will be wise enough to do that.
                Even if Biden did actually offer it to Sanders, do you think Sanders would actually take it? He'd harm his popularity considerably if, after it being promised the position would go to a woman, he were to take it. Though I suppose he could always decide #YOLO, it's not likely he'll try for Senatorial re-election in 2024 anyway.

                  Sanders is holding on to his delegates. I think he is sitting on the fence, and if something should happen to Biden *cough-covid-19-cough*, he can jump back in the ring.
